I've always been skeptical about the Voyage text being significantly better than the Oasis. I think the Oasis has some extra feature that is supposed to make the background whiter than the Voyage, but I'm not claiming that it actually does in practice.
I didn't care much about the buttons on the Oasis when I first got it. When I went from a Kindle Keyboard to a Kobo Glo, I was sure I was going to hate the touch screen for page turns because I hate any imperfection (like fingerprints) on my ereader screens. Interestingly, I came to not miss the buttons.
Surprisingly, I've regained my appreciation for the buttons with the Oasis; I like not having to move my thumb to turn the page.
I still wish the battery in the Oasis itself was larger. Even if it was only 25% larger, I think I would have been happy.
