Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Note the glare in the picture. The paper white screen is more textured so there is less glare. This screen is smoother, therefore more glare. I didn't review this right away to give myself time to use the Voyage and make a decision. I love the crisp new text. The page turn buttons are pretty cool. But when it comes to the lighting......Paperwhite 1 issues all over again! There is yellow shading on the top 1/3 of the screen that you just can't get used to due to having the issue on every page you read! Give me yellow or give me a blue tint but DON'T give me both! Don't think you have it? Cover the middle of the screen and look at the top and bottom independently. I believe that everyone's opinion on what is acceptable varies and maybe you are okay with this or don't notice it. I didn't unless my lighting was between 8 and 18. I still had my Paperwhite 2 (they got the lighting right on this somehow) and compared the two and that was the end of the debate for me. I attempted to get a replacement but they were "receiving error messages" so I am returning mine to Best Buy tomorrow. I can't chance my return window expiring on this. Battery - I was resetting my device to re package it and looked at the battery level. I charged it on Oct 21st. After reading one book on it the battery was at 1/4! Today is day 6 of use! And all I read was a 300 page book on it! My paperwhite never got the 8 weeks of use like amazon claimed, even with Wifi off and lighting at 7. But 6 days and I used 3/4 battery? I had my automatic light adjustment OFF to avoid it being full blast during the day too. I don't know why this died so fast but it worries me. I think I will sit back and wait for the Voyage 2. I cannot spend $200.00 on a device with lighting issues and $40.00 on a cover that I am not 100% happy with. I spent way too much time reading up on the issue and reading up on other owners trial and errors in attempts to get an evenly lit a Kindle. "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Update: I am still checking out the reviews that people are posting. You will want to make a note of the fact that a majority of the good reviews are from people that jumped from an older version to this. And the less positive reviews are from people that owned more recent versions and are comparing the Voyage to that. I give more merit to those reviews.
