By the way, how does the Oasis compare to the Voyage for you?
I'm surprised it was so hard to find different versions and better formatting for this book!

I have mixed emotions on the Oasis versus Voyage. I think the Voyage is the superior product: more even lighting with fewer shadows, slightly higher contrast on the text and I like the origami cover with vertical stand. I also really like the auto-brightness setting on the Voyage. The first Oasis screen I got had awful shadows that I couldn't tolerate and the second one is better but not as good as my Voyage. I also think the Oasis is over-priced. On the other hand, I love reading one-handed with the Oasis and appreciate that it's so thin and lightweight. I like reading it without the cover and got a DecalGirl skin for it. Therefore I haven't used my Voyage since I got the Oasis! In summary it's not perfect and a tradeoff.
