The newer kindles, which include the Oasis, just seem more faded despite higher resolutions at least to these eyes. I don't know why that is, but this seems to be Amazon's trend so at some point I will pick up another voyage or even an older kindle.
That's what I thought too, when I bought the Oasis. But after we got the option to install custom fonts, I found I actually liked the font-rendering on the Oasis more than on the Voyage (despite the same firmware, the font-rendering is somewhat different on the Voyage and on both the Oases). Also the 6'' screen just feels too small now. So I mostly read on my Oasis 2 with a custom font these days and only rarely pick up my Voyage...

I don't have any of the Paperwhites, but I've seen a video review where the text on the PW4 was clearly more faded than on the Oasis, let alone the Voyage.
