This seems a little disingenuous since you said that finding out that the reading area of the new Oasis was the same as the KA1 tipped you toward the Oasis, but it turns out you knew this isn't entirely accurate. If you're interested, it doesn't even require a patch to eliminate the header and footer entirely on Kobos, but only a very trivial hack that even someone with no skills can manage in less than a minute. More granular adjustments do require a patch and some skills.
My own take on this device is that it's great that the Kindlers have finally got a larger screen* option, which has always been my top criterion going back to my PRS-950. I think Audible integration is less valuable than it seems, at least for me, since I think the Android/iOS Audible apps are far superior to the native Audible function on Amazon devices. Even when I'm listening to an Audible book on an Alexa device, for example, I'll stream it from another device because of more and better playback options. I also think an audiojack would have been handy in addition to Bluetooth capability.
But that's me and I'm invested elsewhere, mostly. Sometimes I think it would be handy to have a Kindle because of the cool things Amazon brings to the table, but I can never quite justify it. The size of this got me thinking,; fortunately rationality triumphed.
