I know someone who used to have a Kindle Touch but has switched to a PW3. So yes, I do have some experience.
The thing is, what I've been saying about the battery has nothing to do with this being a Kindle. It's just simple battery logic.
If you get say 500 charges from a battery before you start to lost capacity, then the battery in the Oasis will start to lose capacity sooner than a PW3 or Voyage because the battery in the Oasis holds less charge and needs to be charged more often using the batter in the case. So for every full charge you get with a PW3 or Voyage, the Oasis gets 2 charges. So that will bring the battery life of the Oasis to roughly half that of the PW3 or Voyage. This is something that most people do not think of. So basically, you are paying more for a device that has less of a shelf life due to the way the battery designed.
