Been carrying the Oasis everywhere I've gone, fits very nicely into my back jean pocket. And instead of reaching for my phone when I'm waiting for something I find that I can just pull out the oasis, read a few pages and then slide it away. And it doesn't drag or weight my pants down in case anyone is wondering.

My hand size is 'medium' (according to the gloves that I wear) and i find that at times I will not hold the kindle the way they intended. There are times where I will have my fingers stretched out with the kindle resting on them instead of holding the kindle like i was griping paper/magazine.

I tried some night reading and so far it's been a mixed bag. Brightness is uniform and I see no splotches or unevenness which is nice. However, I have the brightness on at about 15 in the dark which means it's pretty bright (24 is max). It's not uncomfortable but it's bright enough that I think it bothers my significant other who's trying to sleep. Reason for brightness at 15? It is because the screen looks 'white' to me at that brightness, going lower doesn't just make it dimmer, the tone start to get cooler and it starts looking bluish. Find it to be quite distracting and at times uncomfortable to read.
