I own both the Voyage and Oasis. Without agreeing with all that posted about battery life for the sake of argument I will post with that caveat.
The comfort of reading with the Oasis is so much more, for me, than the Voyage that if the battery's life were half I would still buy it and replace it with an Oasis. My comfort while reading is much more important than having to replace an electronic device a little sooner. Somebody with better math skills than I should compare cost per reading session.
By the way, the discussion of the size of the internal battery MAY have an appreciable effect on the life of the battery but most of us are capable of reading without the cover and simply place it back in the cover when not reading. So for those with simple adaptive skills the combined battery power is the main consideration, not just the internal battery. Every time you buy a new phone you change some habits. Why not with a reader?
