So I still have to ask where the premium is except for the price.

I believe that the Oasis uses the screen of the Voyage, doesn't it?

I know this has already been answered but just to chip in with my own thoughts. As has already been said, the bare stats of two devices having 300 ppi & a Carta screen don't tell the full story - the screen on the Voyage is a step above the PW3, so there's more to it than that. And the fact that Bezos was tweeting about the Oasis, the marketing of it as a premium device, and of course the premium price, all add up to the screen being that little bit better again. Though maybe they are just really excited about it being thinner and lighter, some people get really turned on by that in their tech!
We do know for a fact that they've changed the lighting on it, more lights along the side instead of the bottom, and they'll probably have refined the light guide layer (that seems to happen with every new release). I'm betting it'll be the nicest looking screen on any Kindle we've seen.
I'm still sceptical of the price though!
