I love my electronic reading. I actually don't read physical books anymore, ever.
Right now, there are only two hiccups: platform lock in, and e-reader cost (and I do recommend a dedicated e-paper reader). I'll tackle them in reverse order.
The best reader on the market currently is the new Kindle Voyage. It's a fantastic piece of hardware: 300dpi, 6-inch e-paper screen, fast refresh, automatic backlight level adjustment. However, it's spendy: It's CHEAPEST option (with ads on the lock screen, Wifi only) is $199. The top of the line model (no ads, Wifi+3G) is a whopping 289!
If you're willing to go with not-top-of-the-line hardware, you can get the cost of the actual device down to sub $100, which is "okay if it gets dropped in a pool or stolen at the beach" range for me.
Platform lock-in: This question is a little harder. You have 3 main players currently: Google (via Google Books), Apple (via iBooks), and Amazon Kindle. Books from one are not intended to go to other services. Now, there are some caveats: iBooks is iOS only, and Google Books is Android only, but you can read Kindle books on just about anything with a screen these days. There are PC, Mac, Web, iOS and Android clients, plus the dedicated hardware and Amazon's own FIRE line of tablets. This is fantastic, because your progress per book is ALSO synced to the cloud, so you can read on your phone, then your laptop, then your Kindle device, then your iOS/Android/Fire tablet, and your place is marked automatically for you as you go from device to device. This ALSO works for what kindle calls "Personal Docs", which are documents you upload to your Kindle Account; subject to a limited list of permitted formats, other than that these can be anything. Even e-books purchased on competitor stores, as long as you can conver them from their native format to a Kindle Personal Docs compatible format. Which brings me to the thing that makes this all worthwhile:
Calibre E-Book Manager
This things is FANTASTIC. Plugins are available to suit your every legal and less-than-legal whim. Convert ebooks from one format to another with impunity, but only list each title once! Automatically import, convert, and email the converted book to your Kindle Account? Yup, you can do that too.
Seriously, Calibre single-handedly makes e-reading a pleasure. Here's a screenshot of my instance
Of all the options, I would recommend Kindle being your home base, with Calibre to move things in/out and liberal use of the Personal Documents feature.
This ended up a bit longer than I expected, but I hope it helps!
Check out the section that says "Brilliantly crisp display" here, so I honestly doubt it, especially with the Amazon ebook readers that always successfully managed to completely eliminate glare. It seems very unlikely that they would suddenly introduce the new "flagship" of the series with such a huge drawback.
Voyage, no "r"
I have the [Kindle Voyage] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IOY8XWQ/ref=fs_ods_fs_eink_ie) because it was given to me as a gift. If you scroll down a bit, there's a chart that compares the features of all of the Kindles available. I like that the Voyage has "PagePress" feature (there are areas on the side of the Kindle that you can press to turn the page forwards or backwards) because I often read while eating, and I don't like having to touch the reading-area of the screen with my hands. That said, if I were buying it for myself, I don't know that that added feature alone would be worth the price difference. I had a Wi-Fi only Kindle (you can pay extra for 3G capability), and I just make sure to stock up on books when I know I'm going to be somewhere without Wi-Fi for awhile. Let me know if you have any specific questions! I'm happy to help!
Looks like you're in luck.
> But if you're comparing the raw specs and capabilities of a piece of hardware in comparison to another, based on price as we are here
This mischaracterizes the argument, because you didn't say raw specs and capabilities. You said what it "can do" - and like it or not, the software that a piece of hardware runs does affect its value.
Here is a direct example of software directly affecting the price of hardware. Here's another - the equipment is priced lower because, you guessed it, exclusives.
Well PW4 is newer and lighter. I don't know about the light uniformity between these 2 devices.
Specs wise you can just compare them.

A kindle Voyage is 199.99
[A 13" touch screen drawing tablet is 750.00] (http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Cintiq-Interactive-Display-DTK1300/dp/B00BSOSCNE/ref=sr_1_19?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458755541&sr=1-19&keywords=best+drawing+tablets)
[A 13" touch screen USB powered portibal monitor 389.00] (http://www.amazon.com/GeChic-Portable-Touchscreen-Monitor-MiniDisplay/dp/B00XK5A502/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458755649&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=usb+poured+13+monitor)
That comes to $1338.... And that is just to fulfill my need for a great drawing device, an e-reader, and a touch screen secondary monitor . The 32gb iPad pro with apple pencil is 899.00... plus it does all the other iPad things like apps, email, text, camera.... so on and so on. For me the iPad is incredibly useful and economical. I may be a fringe case but regardless it is working out great for me.
Amazon has kindles with light that were designed to reduce blue light, assuming you mean that you read on your phone or tablet.
They've had front-lit, non-led kindles since 2012 and their most popular kindle model (Paperwhite) isn't much more expensive than the one in the article (79.99 vs. 119.99).
So is the new Kindle Voyager the answer to all Grey's hopes and dreams?
Nope. http://www.amazon.com/High-Resolution-Display-Adaptive-PagePress-Sensors/dp/B00IOY8XWQ
Yup. It's for downloading books when you don't have wifi or a hotspot.
The new Kindle Voyage (next-gen Paperwhite) is pretty good looking. 300 PPI and pressure-sensitive bezel for page turning.
This looks aimed at a different kind of animal. The marketing on the Voyage page is pretty masculine compared to the all female marketing paperwhite. Don't know why I noticed that, but I did. Looks sexy, but not enough to justify replacing my Paperwhite. Kinda want to get my hands on the Voyage to check it out though.
