Yes, my opinion is that the design of the Oasis is its greatest strength and I doubt I'm alone in this. I was willing to pay for it and have not regretted that I did.

That said, undoubtedly there are people out there who buy every latest Kindle regardless of the price, just because it's the latest. But I don't think they're the majority.
I think most people who buy an Oasis do it for bragging rights. There's no other reason to buy one at that price and awful design.
