I’ve never seen the first gen Oasis, but followed old threads about it on Amazon. I had the impression that it didn’t have a screen orientation that could be locked...it would auto-rotate as you moved the device, and also that it didn’t have a landscape mode.

Are those two impressions correct?

I looked at the User Manual for the new Oasis and it refers to having a landscape mode with the controls for that in the font menu. If this is going to be correct for the new one, that it locks the chosen orientation, I may consider buying one.

I know no one has one yet , obviously. I’ll poke around for videos because someone mentioned seeing the black/white inversion demonstrated, so there must be videos available.

Still amazed only 8 font sizes are on the device.
