I'm of the opinion that everyone should evaluate based on their own usage patterns (or planned usage patterns).
If I was going to use the Oasis because of it's ergonomic design, and based on my reading habits, I would be worried about battery life. I think I would go through a lot of charge cycles. I can appreciate the reader is designed to be put in the cover whenever you aren't using it, but why change my reading habits due to thier design decision?
I also tend to pass the reader along to family members (or maybe even sell it), and I'm not sure I would be comfortable doing this with such a limited battery size (1/5 of a typical ereader battery).
