With the light set at 0, the text on all 3 Kindles is equally crisp and clear. But when the light is turned on, the text on both Oases become a little washed out and foggy. It seems the light layer, when activated, has an adverse affect on clarity and contrast. The Oasis screen is still good, but when put side-by-side with the Voyage, there is a small but noticeable difference.
Overall, Oasis A has the most even lighting and color, but the Voyage has the crispest, clearest, sharpest, darkest text. I also prefer the creamy-white/pinkish-white color on the Voyage to the yellow-white on the Oases, but that's a personal preference.

I ordered a second Oasis shortly after receiving the first because I wasn't happy with the screen. My Oasis sounds like your Oasis A with yellowish-white coloring with a slight color shift, but mine also has slight cones from the LEDs. It's not a bad screen but compared to my Voyage it looks inferior. I agree that with the light off both screens look the same, but with the light on the Voyage has darker text with better contrast and is much easier on my eyes. I was reading with the Oasis last evening for about an hour and when I went back to the Voyage it was a relief. My second Oasis is due Wednesday so at least one will be returned and if the second isn't better than the first, probably both. I would be happy to just keep and use my Voyage with it's good screen and useful Origami cover.
