My parents are in their eighties. I think they are pretty much the target market for an ergonomic lightweight design.

Well I'm only 58, so still a while to go before hitting the 80's, but I already have trouble holding thin objects. I do have arthritis, and not all elderly people will have that issue. I do think the "thinner is better" philosophy with ereader, tablet, and phone makers has gone too far. If the device is too thin to grasp comfortably, then even if it only weighs 1 ounce it will still be unholdable for those with that issue. So no I think the market for the Oasis is more directed at the younger, trendier crowd.
