For all that he portrays the Voyage as a trainwreck, I like mine a lot, after having several Kindles before it including a Gen-1 Paperwhite.
I don't mind the justification as a general rule, and actually find extreme hyphenization (which was their route on the iOS apps) much more distracting.
My only real problems have been:
* The haptic feedback can't be made prominent enough to be obvious through the first-party leather cover.
* The tap zone for switching percentage/page number/etc has no visual affordance and I find it pretty non-obvious to reliably find.
* The automatic lighting is way more sensitive to what's over my shoulder than the ambient light, so goes very dark if the room is softly lit from behind the Kindle (or very bright if there's a light in my background).
* The font size isn't consistent between books even if I don't use publisher font. I assume that's because the markup of the books has some influence on the font size and doesn't always use "default."
* I'd prefer a first-party book spine case over a notepad style case--that said, the origami stand has been extremely useful for reading while eating.
Other than those niggles, it's been great, and certainly has been a more enjoyable device to use than any of my past Kindles.
