The Voyage is a very nice device. But reading one handed in bed it would flop over sometimes and either fall to the floor or hit me in the face. (At least that's my excuse for my appearance.) It was great reading at my computer desk with the origami cover.
The Oasis price did not phase me as the cover is included which put it within a ten spot of the Voyage with good cover. Yes, I know there are cheap covers.
But the Oasis was made for reading one handed. At my desk or in bed I can easily read one handed and shift hands without losing usability. The touch buttons require a strong enough input that I can hold it with my finger on the button and just press to change pages.
I also leave my Oasis in the case except when I am reading. The battery life has proved as good as the Voyage. Now the life of the battery may or may not be less but you know what. I don't care. As much as a I read it would not bother me to replace after only a year or two to have the most comfortable reader.
Now a device designed like the Oasis with a bigger screen would entice me to buy much sooner. I do not carry my Kindle around as my phone allows me to read when waiting for the dr, etc. And yes, it would have to be a Kindle.
