Recently got an Oasis also - my 'old' Sony PRS-T3 is still fine... but I'd been getting worried about what I'd do to replace it when the time came.
At least... that's my, to be quite honest, feeble excuse for treating myself.
Since the days of my 505 then 350 Sony, have always preferred and used page turn buttons - so the Oasis tempted me over to the Amazon side...
And the backlight... 'tis good.
The nubuck/suede brown cover is lovely.
No bevel / flat screen, decent font and okay typesetting ( compared to some hideous screenshots i've seen of past Kindles with enormous gaps - lack of hyphenation? ).
So, pleased, I am.
I do not carry it in my back pocket.
