Facing off Amazon’s latest and greatest single purpose reading device, the Kindle Voyage to Their last generation Paperwhite Seemed like a waste of your and my time. Every single review tells you its a nice upgrade, but one Perhaps not worth the money. The Voyage, in form factor, Most Reminded me of the original Kindle. The case design looked strangely angular derivative. Luckily, I just happened to have one here …
Rob described the original Kindle’s “looking like a wadded up cardboard” and I think he may be right. Before I’d even recharged the device and powered it on, I marveled at the insane shape felt Amazon was going to be Most book-like and pleasing to the user. I remember wellbeing put off by the design when i first saw it, but I’ve Actually missed it. OG Kindle did feel more like the bend of pages When holding a paperback sized book than any of the sterile, rounded Kindle’s since. The Voyage backplate sports like angling and ridging. It fits in the hand like a mannered, even the Amazon Origami case attempts to translate que tactile feel. I quite like it but Actually still feel original Kindle Maintains the edge over all other e-readers is the current book-in-hand-ness.
Screen is simply no contest. The new Voyage is lightning quick, almost shows the ghosting and the matte glass front does stay unsmudged, far longer. The OG Kindle’s screen is slow and ghosts a lot. The resolution would never be an issue, for me at the font sizes I read at, but seeing em next to each other its just unfair.
In the world of controls, the firm clickity click of the original Kindle’s 2001: A Space Odyssey buttons beat the hell out of fake These haptic buzzers in the Voyage. Essentially you keep pressure on the demarked spot long enough for Voyage to buzz. The feedback is not a button click. It is something else, something meh. I prefer turning the Voyage’s page with the simple touchscreen taps. Amazon has some branded language is tapping the touchscreen, I forgot it already.
The UI on the Voyage Lightyears is improved and the terrible scroll wheel of the Original Kindle is pure junk. The UI speed is so great it makes Voyage on the ol ‘Original damn near unusable for any functions beyond reading. Managing inventory or shopping in the Kindle Store is pure garbage on the OG. I can read two books in the team it takes to find and download one on the original.

Reading is better on the Voyage. Unsurprisingly I like having a better screen, and the self adjusting front light is a dream. Voyage is a better device reading in all lighting conditions. The self-adjusting light is a dream, even nicer than the Paperwhite. The OG Kindle was the first gen device, this is the primary function of the product line at Amazon and they’ve made HUGE improvements. The Voyage is great in direct sun and lights out situations. Years back I retired the OG Kindle for an iPad with the Kindle app Purely for the backlighting at night, it made reading outdoors impossible.
The original Kindle had a keyboard and the new Voyage doesnt. I never Understood why I’d want to type on the device reading. The OG is the Kindle web browser terrible, so terrible I have not even bothered to try on any subsequent model. This is an e-reader, read books.
The Origami cover for the Voyage is pretty good, Thus Far. The Origami stand part Seems useless but it is a nice, form-fitting leather case que adds a lot to the tactile experience of reading on the Kindle for me. I have an aftermarket case on my OG Kindle que really does help it mimic a smaller, leather-bound book.
If you are Considering upgrading from the original Kindle to the Voyage, I am gonna go way out on a limb here and highly recommend it.
