I'm planning to switch to the oasis exclusively. I have had many kindles over the years (kindle 2, kk, kindle (before it was rebranded 'basic' - the one with the lighted cover), Paperwhite, DXG and Voyage. It was with reluctance that I left the kindle brand after the original Oasis failed to deliver what I was after. If it had offered either a larger screen or waterproofing, I would have bought that.
The KA1 is really nice, and I love the way the text looks on the screen - just like a real book, because (I believe) of the kerning, which the kindle still lacks.
I just like the quality of kindles, and this one looks like a return to the quality of previous versions, with its aluminum back. I am also curious to try this side-weighted form factor of the Oasis.
Overdrive integration was another thing that attracted me to the KA1, but now that I can borrow books for my kindle too (although not direct from the device, but that's a small quibble for me), there's nothing to stop me going back to the Amazon fold.
