I like the idea of the Oasis but I've been holding back from getting one because of worries about the battery. I like to read my Voyage without the cover around the house but the Oasis' battery is so much smaller that without the cover it'll go down pretty fast.
Typically a lithium ion battery gets from 500 to 1000 full charges, where a charge from half full counts as 1/2 charge, etc. It seems like without the cover the Oasis just might use up the battery's lifetime pretty rapidly. With the cover, at least if it works the way they say it does, it should last a long time but with the cover it's heavier.
I'm holding off on getting an Oasis till I have some reason to believe this isn't going to be a problem and my hopes aren't very high. I'd hate to pay that price for a short lived device.
