I'm going to eat something at some point in that timespan, and when I'm doing that I'm using both hands and the e-reader is flat on the table, in its cover, recharging...

I can easily hold my H2O one handed. It's got enough heft to it to be easy to hold. It's in a book style case and that helps make it easier to hold. As for turning the page, again, not a problem holding one handed.
One thing is that most users didn't complain the the H2O or Voyage are too big and/or too heavy. Since they didn't complain, then there was no need for the Oasis. (IMHO), the Oasis is an awful design with with a rather pathetic battery. The battery will only last 1/2 as long as the Voyage because it has to be charged twice as much.
