My most expensive ereader ever was a Sony PRS 600 at £250. That was in the days before the Kindle Keyboard was released. It may not have had the best screen in hindsight but it was made of metal and it was gorgeous. The Sony PRS 650 cost me £175.00 and the PRS 505 £150.
The highest price since those days is the Voyage at £169.99 (and I got £20 off buying it from Argos so it cost me £150). That is my limit now for an ereader. The heady days of paying for Sony devices are long gone. The Oasis offers nothing over the Voyage, in fact without adaptive lighting I think it's a step down. Amazon are basically making consumers pay over the odds for a leather case because they split the battery to make it lighter. That's not progress to me.
