Except that you don't have to have the official Kobo cover. You can buy an aftermarket cover for $10 or less. Or even go without altogether. Neither is an option for the Oasis. And if we're forcing a straitjacket comparison onto the two devices, let's not forget to add $20 to the price of the Oasis to render it ad-free, like the Aura One.

When it comes to comparing a larger screen with ergonomics, obviously you have to pick one, since you can't get both. But the cost factor is most definitely not a wash.
