I have a Voyage, Paperwhite 3 and Paperwhite 4. Actually 2 of both Paperwhites. They all look equally good to me.

I do find that with the recent updates the touchscreen has gotten more troublesome on all of my Kindles. It often ignores touches and other times there's a pause before it reacts to a touch. I never really know which it's doing so I make a lot of mistakes. I do find that this problem is mostly right after I wake it up. When it's been awake a couple of minutes it seems to get better. I think this is more a function of the new firmware than the new Paperwhite since it's that way on my older devices that have the new firmware too.

One thing I like a lot with the PW4 is the power saver. I wasn't sure I'd like that at first but I decided to try it a while before turning it off. Since I have several Kindles all but one of them is usually sitting idle for a while. The power saver has made a big difference in how long the battery lasts when the Kindle isn't being used. I used to charge them every weekend. Now it's more like every other weekend and I may decide to go even longer.

The Kindle I'm reading on gets no better battery life than before. Maybe even a bit less.
