For what's it's worth ...
Went to Best Buy to see if they had any Kindle Oasis-s on display. Nope. So checked the reviews on Best Buy's site. A few points in the review caught my eye. (The first excerpt was from a fairly long, very positive review.)

The screen is the first front-lit Kindle I've ever seen where you simply cannot see any trace of the LEDs from any angle. No dark spots, no bright spots...just a completely uniform illumination from edge to edge in both directions. The "page" also appears to be nearly flush with the top glass surface, helping achieve the illusion of printed paper. It's sharp and clear, better than any Kindle I've used.

(But, apparently -- according to the review -- he/she hasn't used a Voyage.)
A generally positive review follows -- but, apparently (for this user) the touchscreen lags.

I got oasis yesterday, very lighweight compared to voyager, screen size comparable, like having actual page turn button, touchscreen seems kinda slow, the on/off button on top is improvement from back of voyager. cover does seem kind of flimsy, but supposed to be leather so will see how it holds up. finding it easier to hold with cover on, then removed. cover doesn't have separate charge port, so all charging is done thru kindle.

And the reviewer specifically says ...
Cover doesn't have separate charge port, so all charging is done thru kindle.
So that looks like it might be settled.
