Your comment is completely illogical. The Voyage is still sought after today and its display (and haptic touch) remains superior to all other models, IMHO. And, yes, I've owned them all, with exception of the very first Kindle. I bought two Voyages -- that ought to tell you something.

I'd even argue that the current basic kindle has better contrast than the PW4 (which is worse than the PW3 it replaced as well).

BTW, you can get a new Voyage for the same price as a new PW4 -- $119 in retail packaging. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Amazon-...8AAOSwIyVc6yJc (I can't personally vouch for the seller, but they look like an established business. They definitely have a high feedback rating.) Last edited by rcentros; 04-15-2021 at 02:04 AM. |

The PW4 screen is not as clear/sharp as the PW3 screen.

I agree with everyone here who agrees with me:
![]() The Voyage was the sharpest ereader ever put out by Amazon. The OP's question is this: Is the newest ["latest"] Kindle Paperwhite (in whatever incarnation) sharper than the Voyage? The OP owns the Voyage, so I'm sure he/she is quite aware that the Voyage is no longer made. That was never the question. Yes, I think there's a bit of jealously (envy?) involved. I proudly own a Voyage AND the current version of the Oasis. The Oasis is wonderful, but it isn't as clear as my Voyage. |

I think consensus is that PW4 < PW3 < Oasis < Voyage when it comes to screen quality.
Where consensus diverges is how important that is relative to other features, including cost. When those are factored in, PW4 is optimal for me (though I reserve right to change my mind when someone gives me an Oasis). |

I'd argue if you're not sensitive to resolution differences, that you'd flip the basic and PW4.

I just read the PW4 uses a plastic-backed screen rather than glass. Maybe that's the difference. I wonder if it's been shown to be less prone to breakage. |
