This thing is definitely ugly but it's still intriguing. Personally I don't find the Voyage particularly comfortable to hold as the weight is pretty evenly distributed and there isn't much room to place your fingers on the side without hitting the buttons. Having it be thick on one side with plenty of bezel to hold onto and super light on the other side should make it really comfortable to hold and much more balanced than the Voyage.
But it doesn't really look like a compelling upgrade just for that.. and I just got a new iPad anyway so the timing is not good. They should have announced these before the new iPads. The screen on the new iPad is so good it might have eliminated my desire to use the Kindle anyway as it goes much darker than before and NightShift makes it even more comfortable to use. Can't tell yet though as I'm reading a paper book anyway, the paper book is more annoying to use than any of these devices!
The other thing with the Oasis is it looks like the cover can't be used as a kickstand like the Voyage. I use the Origami cover on the Voyage as a kickstand almost daily to read while eating or any other time I have the kindle out on a Desk, table, etc..
