While I agree with everyone here, I would say buy the Voyage over the Paperwhite 3. The Voyage is a nicer bit of hardware over the Paperwhite and it has better contrast.

If you can get the Paperwhite 3 at $80 or the Voyage is $100, the $20 difference will be worth it.

As you can see, I have the Glowlight Plus and the Glowlight 3 and the Glowlight 3 screen is very, very nice. When you're reading on a Nook, they are terrific. I have no complaints about how it handles as a reader. It's when you do anything else that you notice how slow the thing is.

I haven't seen a Clara HD in person. But if the screen is at all comparable to the Glowlight 3, I'd say buy the Clara. I think the reading experience on Kobo isn't quite as good as the Nook, but it is good and everything else in their software is miles better.
