Another thing about the Oasis that hasn't been talked about here yet, is how do the covers hold up in outdoor environments ? This got me thinking when I mentioned this in another thread, about not seeing Oasis devices on beaches this weekend during the heatwave busy Memorial Day weekend. I did see lots of other e ink readers though. Amazon does use woman sitting on the beach in it's Oasis ad. So maybe folks are bringing other e inks instead of their premium Oasis. Not just for the price, but maybe more to do with, not taking a chance with the device, sun screen will add to the slipperiness and it could be almost impossible to hold on to the Oasis. Also the premium covers, they may not look as nice with with bug spray ( Camping ) on your hands or sun screen. I would think that they could leave residue or prints on the covers that can't be cleaned off. With all other e ink devices you could get a cheaper cover to replace it. I don't know, but maybe that's why I have not seen an Oasis. Maybe they are being pampered more by owners, just bringing them out when they can use them at work or home, outside on the deck or vacation balcony while able to safely put them back in the cover , before they head out into messier environments ? I don't know has anyone used them camping or at the beach yet ? Or would you rather take something else to read on instead ?
