Like Atunah, I don't understand all the spite heaped on the Oasis. You don't like it, don't buy it. Why does it irk you that other people like the Oasis? I personally think that its design and the buttons are brilliant and that's the reason I bought it. The price is a bit much, I admit it. But I could afford it at the time and have not regretted buying it.
Speaking of awful designs, Kobo Aura One would be the most terrible I've seen recently. Those tiny bezels that go with its big screen, I would never be able to hold the thing. But I don't go around abusing the KA. Clearly there are people who love it, so, good for them. And no, this fact doesn't arouse any feelings of animosity in me.
