I mulled over it for a few days and seeing as my ereader is the most important device to me i thought i'd at least give the oasis a go before i'd consider going back to the voyage.
For a device that had been design from the offset for enhanced ergonomics and selling at a premium for being more comfortable,the fact that i actually found it to be the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE ereader i have ever used was a complete surprise.
To NullNix above i did try moving my hand abit,also switching hands but just didn't like it,what i meant before was i like my fingers spread across the back of my kindles,with bottom right/left in the palm of my hand,so over the wedge and i'd feel the bump towards the middle of my fingers.
If there was one feature i praise the oasis for though it would be those physical page buttons,they are infinitely better than stretching my thumb over to tap the screen.

This was a topic of discussion when the Oasis was first released, and there were several posts with recommendations on how to hold it. I hated the ergonomics originally and my hands felt cramped. Eventually I got used to it, and I really like it now. What made a big difference to me was that I put a DecalGirl skin on the back. That made the grip much better and not feel so slippery so I was less worried about dropping it and then not focused so much on how I was holding it.
