I agree the scalloped lights on the side would have had me send it back , if it were mine. I'm not sure if there is a difference between the scallop lights for each Oasis. The screen seemed pretty good, almost like my Voyage, only that it had a lighter font. The biggest improvement I saw were the buttons, and how light it was to hold, without the cover on. My reading club has mostly kindles, Paperwhites, Voyages, and other older kindles and Kobos. Everyone liked the buttons most of all and how light it was too.
