For the overpriced argument, I’d say:
- If you compare the price to a Kindle Voyage + a leather origami cover, you spend almost the same price since the Oasis has an included leather cover (+ an extra battery).
- If you have just one reader that fulfils all your need, it’s cheaper than buying several devices that may not suit you.
- I’m pretty sure Amazon makes more money on the basic Kindle and Paperwhite (high volume + cheaper to produce)
The only "bad thing" I could say against the Oasis is the lack of adaptive light sensor. I don’t know why since it’s a very appreciated feature on the Voyage.
Anyway, I really hope this Kindle will be back soon with maybe some evolutions. Finger crossed for a plastic/polymer cover (it saves an animal skin, it's cheaper and more resistant).

You're right for all about the oasis price.
But the only "bad thing", the lack of adaptive light prevent me to buy it, i still love my voyage for the adaptive light and the origami cover (i read always on table)
