I jumped from the Voyage to the Paperwhite when they switched to USB-C and added a warmth slider for the screen. It’s really nice, especially with an origami case (even if that case isn’t as nice as the origami case for the Voyage).

A physical (or physical-ish) button is pretty much my main driver. I also like the little bit more freedom I'd have with a kobo.
