According to this source, the screen is
"now based on a much thinner, slightly flexible glass substrate to make it lighter and more resilient to mild bending and drops."

I don't know exactly what that means in practical use -- or whether SlashGear even knows this is true for certain, but there has to be some explanation for how much lighter the Oasis is then the Paperwhite or Voyage.
The article also mentions that ...
It also required a significant change in how the electronics are wired, moving the connectors from the shorter edge to the longer instead: that meant Amazon could fit more LEDs, too, making the illumination brighter and more even.
So my guess that the Voyage would -- eventually -- get 10 LEDs also is probably not going to pan out.
