If it turns out I was wrong and people are still getting decent battery life from their Oasis a few years from now then that's a good thing and I'll find myself wishing I'd gotten one. It's just too much money to risk on something I have so little confidence in.
For you guys who have an Oasis and are enjoying it, I'm glad. Everything I've seen tells me that it's a nice device. I've mentioned this issue before to people who have gone ahead and bought one with the idea that they want it and it'll last as long as it lasts and that'll be okay. Seems reasonable to me as long as it's not my money.

I'll keep you updated on it each year.
. Course, after a few years, I might have yet another kindle. Although I can't think of what they could improve on it.
The Voyage, which you have I think is a mighty fine device. I have one too and it still works fine. And if having buttons and the ergo design of the Oasis aren't important to you and others, there really wouldn't be a point I don't think to get the Oasis.
