Actually the figures are pretty easy. Calculating one hour per day of reading for two years the Voyage cost is $.27 vs Oasis cost of $.40. Obviously the more you read the difference between the two costs go down.

I used the full price of each reader. I did not include a cover for the Voyage so the real price for most people will be higher that what I posted above. If you buy the Oragami leather cover the price difference will be negligible

The price difference is not enough to change my mind. I kept the time at two years to placate those talking about possible shorter lifetime of Oasis battery. The longer you keep it the cost difference also becomes less.

But if you go with the Voyage and put the $.13 saving in a piggy bank for two years you will have enough at the end to make up the cost difference and you can buy the Oasis the next time you need a reader!
