would've considered had it had a 8" screen with a greater PPI, other wise no, seems like Amazon is falling behind others when it comes to their devices, plus I'm a lefty and those page turn buttons would not be comfortable for me

Yes, the UK price seems very ouch ... €290 currently works out at around £230. Since the prices never change after release, it's possible that Amazon are edging their bets with the vote on Brexit in a few months and are anticipating some wild currency fluctuations

I assume the idea is that you'd have it in the case when not using it, but take it out of the case when using it, so the weight of the cover wouldn't be an issue when reading. I like a sleeve to protect my e-reader in my purse, but I don't like to keep it in or attached to anything when I'm reading.
And I like it being off-center because my natural inclination is to old my e-reader with one hand on the side and it's awkward when the screen goes all the way to the side. I think the way this is set up would work well for me but it's too expensive IMO. |

If Amazon threw in a case of tuna with each purchase, I'd consider getting it

I agree with your comments about ergonomics and Amazon makes a big deal about the design and ergonomics.....and then forces you to buy a cover that takes all that away? The Oasis has a battery and a charging port...why force the cover on us? As someone quoted above, it may just be the way Amazon thinks you should be using the Oasis. |

Apple is another good example. The iPhone SE is a step backwards from the iPhone 6s.
