The Amazon Kindle Voyage is a 2014 6-inch ebook reader that received praise for its compact, light and thin design that makes it noticeably more appealing than most of its competitors including the Kindle Paperwhite. Also garnering acclaim was the screen, whose 300PPI density makes reading a very pleasant experience. Additionally, users loved the 24-hour battery life and the new PagePress feature, which is made possible by pressure-sensitive page turn sensors on the outer edge of the device. Limited support for common ebook formats weighed down an otherwise stellar e-reader. If want to stay ahead of the game, the Kindle Voyage – although being relatively expensive – offers better quality to outmatch even the more common Kindle Paperwhite.
Pros
- Compact, light and thin design
- Outstanding display quality
- Adaptive brightness adjustment
- PagePress buttons
- Great battery life
Cons
- Limited support for common ebook formats
- Expensive
Bottom Line
With its attractive design, gorgeous display and adaptive brightness, the Kindle Voyage is among the best e-readers out there. However, with cheaper devices like the new Kindle Paperwhite and the Kobo Glo HD matching its display quality, it is hard to sell it as good value for the money

The Kindle Voyage is Amazon's best e-reader to date, and probably the best e-reader ever -- but it doesn't come cheap.
