My wife and I both still prefer the Kindle Keyboard.
Last year I ordered an Amazon Warehouse Deal spare and, instead of sending what I ordered, they sent a new-looking, worth four times more, Voyage. And when I called, they said we can keep it. Maybe one of us will use it eventually, but both Barbara and I still prefer the page turn buttons on the older model.
As for the lighting, where we read, the lighting is too good for a built in light to be an advantage.
I realize that this is a minority view.
I can even justify the majority view:
Several big advantages of the Kindle Keyboard 3G have gone away. The advantage of works-in-a-pinch seamless world-wide 3G has gone away, for us, now that we finally got Google Fi cell phones. And the quality of the Kindle Keyboard web browser deteriorated greatly when supporting web sites closed. And the killer app -- $1.99 a month for the heart of the New York Times -- is also gone.
It's the old YMMV.
