I bought a used paperwhite in 2015 and have read many hundreds of books on it. Still works flawlessly and even great battery life despite taking it around the world through -45 and +45 many times.

I don’t love Amazon, but this may be the best device I’ve ever owned. It does one thing really, really well.

I bought a Voyage in 2015 and don't want to give it up. I like it more than any of the newer models I've tried. Battery life is starting to get poor, but even 'poor' gives me about a week of typical reading before I have to charge it again.

I loved my voyage then I lost it for week and splurge bought an 8gb paperwhite that I could read in the hot tub. I just use the paperwhite now. The voyage sits as a backup to the scribe which backs up the paperwhite and goes along for note taking
