Thought I'd write this here but I got my kindle oasis today and sending it straight back for the following reasons:

THE OASIS IS NOT MORE COMFORTABLE TO HOLD,in fact I found the opposite and can't believe no one has brought this up before,having to position and grip the small wedge I found actually to be more UNCONFORTABLE than the standard back of the PW3 or voyage,the texture is also not as 'grippy' and all in all is just not a pleasant experience for me.

My second major complaint is the screen light,not only does it shadow in the corner (many people have complained about the oasis light),the main problem is that it's a sharp blue hue,whereas the PW and the voyage both use yellow hues,I find this unbearable for reading and the yellow page like hue is MILES BETTER than the oasis blue hue,a HUGE disadvantage imho.

Other than that the page buttons are nice and it feels very sturdy and well built,that is a major plus against the soft build of the other kindles.

I also had a problem with mine in that the touchscreen every few minutes would become totally unresponsive so I had too press the power button on and off for it to recognise touch input again.

I got the walnut cover and REALLY love the texture and look of the cover but I'm afraid the oasis on the whole is really a step back from the voyage and was actually more uncomfortable due to the slim wedge hold.

I had slated the oasis at launch but with my PW3 having a broken backlight I thought instead of going for a voyage again I'd try the oasis,I did,hated it and am now sending it back.

I would even rate the oasis below the PW3 for the reasons I mentioned,it really is a sub-par device and for the money is unjustifiable in every way possible.

I really don't know how voyage owners who bought the oasis can recommend it!
