I have read with the Oasis 2, the Voyage, the Paperwhite 4, 3, 2, 1, a Kindle Keyboard, a Kindle Basic, and a Kindle DX. I enjoyed reading with all of them. Now, I have two Paperwhite 4s.
The others have all gone to other readers but I didn't get rid of a single one because of the fonts or the sharpness or the contrast. I could enjoy reading with all of them. If I were imprisoned and only allowed a Kindle Basic, I'd read.
Right now, for me, all things considered, the Paperwhite is my choice. I use Amazon Kindle covers for my Kindles. The Paperwhite covers are the best in my opinion. I currently have two of the cloth covers. The "Origami" cover for the Voyage with it's flop and fold seems to indicate Amazon has spent way too much time in California. I hated it and none of the other six third-party covers worked properly or were usable. The Oasis 2 cover that Kindle said wasn't intended to protect the expensive device but to "personalize" the Oasis. What nonsense. And, I want mechanical buttons to break about as much as I want a hand crank to start my car. I don't want colored lights on my Kindle, either. I just want to be able to read in restaurants and cafes where they light each table with a small candle.
Some countries where you can't ordered a Kindle are also countries where you can't download Kindle books but I don't know where you are.
I suppose if you're rich you could order one of each and give the ones you don't want to use to relatives. If money is an issue then the Paperwhite is clearly, in my opinion, the best choice. Now, if you want to look really cool and don't read anyway, pay a top-of-the-line iPad and show it to everyone.
If you enjoy reading, I think you'll enjoy whichever Kindle you get.
