Bunch of photos are attached.
Oasis #1 is on the left, Oasis #2 is on the right, or if there's a close up of a screen, the 1st photo is Oasis 1, 2nd photo is Oasis 2.
Observations:
- Both have shadow cones
- Texture of the black cover is like plastic. Texture of the walnut cover is like leather or suede, feels significantly more luxurious
- Walnut cover is darker than expected (I like this)
- Oasis 1 screen appears a little blue, Oasis 2 screen appears a little yellow
To my eyes Oasis 2 looks little bit better but not perfect. Have yet to see a photo of an Oasis that doesn't have the shadow cones. Probably sticking with Oasis 2 and the walnut cover.

That's pretty crap, would upset me too... Can't wait for an ereader that's sold as 'perfectly uniform screen!' Maybe we'll get lucky when two years later Amazon decides to iron out the screen problems and re-release working devices. Think I'll wait for that moment with the Oasis.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, might order the Walnut as well rather than my black staple, it looks much nicer.
