My Oasis has splotchier lighting than any early Paperwhite or Voyage I've seen.

I was going to post a review on Amazon, but the Oasis page says it hasn't yet been released and reviews can't be posted. I contacted support and they said I may hear from someone about it in 2-3 days.

So anyway, just got my Oasis. This was my reaction.

- Wow, super light, feels great holding with 1 hand
- The black leather case is horrible, feels like plastic (more than expected). Jealous of everyone who ordered different colors.

I turn the device on, instantly am presented with lighting that may be splotchier than any I've seen on an early paperwhite or voyage.

See photos. 2nd one doesn't really do it justice. There are blue splotches all along the edge of the screen that are very distracting.

So while I feel like the ergonomics are a winner, I would say pump the brakes on excitement for this device. Yet another early QC issue on a Kindle.
