I don't have an Oasis but they seem pretty common as well.

The one thing we do know is that Amazon is the leader in the field and the others are pretty far behind, so my guess is that Kobo was cutting costs with their new Aura 2nd Edition to help them compete.

I was hoping you had some sales figures.

Looking at review numbers in Amazon...
All New Kindle - 1999
Kindle ereader - 16693
Paperwhite - 29,287
Voyage - 10,827
Oasis - 1,972

I believe the above number for the paperwhite is only for the most recent version. I'm guessing the "low end" (paperwhite and kindle) are out selling the high end.
