Build and Design:
The first thing about design is how light and thin it is!It is thinnest Amazon Kindle with 6.7 mm also lightest with 178 gram.
All kindle devices had big buttons, they were bigger devices but Voyage is slim, compact and light-weight without those buttons.
It has the Anti-Glare coating with Auto-Brightness, Black looks deeper and white looks whiter.It has a 6-inch display with Micro USB charging spot at the bottom.
The design is all new and they worked quite a lot on the new look and design.The Power button is on the back side, so it is convenient to press for many people.I found it's easier to hold Voyage in hands with safer grip.

Display:
Resolution of new E-reader Voyage is 300 pixel per inch.Amazon Kindle Voyage offers the highest resolution, text looks sharp and clear.
This is one of the best features of Voyage, that's why it is different from other Amazon Kindle E-readers.Voyage is sharpest e-book reader ever.
300 pixel per inch is the same resolution as of any Laser Printer which is used to print a book.I think this feature is Pretty Awesome!!!

Features:
Auto-brightness feature is really good.It has a light sensor which picks light around you and then it can adjust the brightness of the screen.
This is one of my favourite features.You don't need to adjust brightness time and time.
When you go from living room to bed and turn lights off then the brightness of the screen gets automatically deemed.
Screen gets dark enough so that your eyes feel comfortable while you are reading.That means the light is good and even despite you are reading with lights off.

You can highlight text or note or even send it to social media.You can bookmark any page from the book.
It also has landscape mode.It has parental control.It also shows you how much time you will require reading this book according to your reading speed.
It has a feature called Word-Wise which is helpful for the younger reader.This feature will look for terms which are difficult to understand and it highlight those terms and give a hint about them.
You can change font styles, font-spacing and margins.

The software of Voyage is not changed very much.
It is responsive to X-ray feature which breaks down all major names, locations and characters within chapter or book.You can select any name, word or character and then you can see all the pages where that name, word or character shows up throughout the entire book.
So if you are reading a Neil Stevenson book that has like a million characters and you can't remember anything who is who, this function helps you with that and you actually use this function.
It also has dictionary function which you have to download.You can download the dictionary of your own language, I like this function and it is useful as well.
It also has an online function called Good Read Social Network which allows us to see recommendations from other readers.

Performance:
It has capacitive screen touch.The screen is smooth and it's much easier to use with good touch and great navigation between pages.
There are three main touch zone on screen.When you click on free white space on the right-hand side, it goes forward (next page) and When you click on free white space on the left-hand side, it goes backward (previous page).
Top section touch zone will let you get down menu section and you can swipe from left to right to go backward (previous page) or you can swipe from right to left to go forward (next page).
The thing that many people did not like about Voyage is they are touch only.Previous Amazon Kindle had two big buttons on either side to go forward and backward and one smaller button that is back button.
There are buttons but they are press buttons and response to pressure not touch.These buttons are on either side front-screen to go forward, backward or to go back.
These buttons vibrate a little when you press them, so it is a new way of navigation in this new Amazon Kindle Voyage.Real quick refresh rate and the interface is responsive.
Page forward and backward function can work as fast as you can tap.The surface is sealed from front-side so if some water falls on it don't bother just clear it.That means it's somewhat water resistant.

Battery Life:
Battery life of Amazon Kindle Voyage is quite good.You can use it literally every day reading six to eight books a month at full charge.
It has a big screen and good brightness but that does not affect it's battery life.It has Micro USB charger so you can plug in anywhere is works.
Only people with month or two long travelling period will have problems with battery life.But it has a solution too, It is a low power device so you can charge it when connected to a laptop with USB charger.
That's why you should carry Micro USB charger with you or ever USB power saver.

The Final Say:
I think Amazon Kindle Voyage has everything to go for it.Best display, great touch response, new pressure sensitive buttons, Word feature and many more.Amazon Kindle Voyage is the best E-reader ever.
But I think if you have the last version of Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, you don't need to upgrade on it.
But if you want to give someone a nice gift or you don't have any previous version of Amazon Kindle and you want to buy your first awesome Amazon Kindle then it is made for you.
It is the best E-reader ever if you have money to spend then definitely you should spend on it.But if you want mid-range level, I think Amazon Kindle Paperwhite will do fine for you.
