The Paperwhite and Voyage are front-lit, not backlit. They should be fine.
This article on what I assume was the same study http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/12/e-readers-and-tablets... mentions specifically "iPads, Kindle Fires, and Nook Colors", and also says "A Kindle without a backlight, as you'd expect, only reflected about as much light as a book and had its peak omission in relatively red wavelengths."
