Also, the Best Buys I've seen only have the basic Kindle and the Paperwhite on display.

I made a little folded-paper mockup from the listed dimensions. Not too big at all for me. The additional display room will be very nice for a slightly larger font.
The size of the Oasis was a bit of a concern for me, so I compared it with my Paperwhite. The Oasis is 0.4 inches shorter, 1 inch wider, and 0.4 ounces lighter. In return for the greater width, I get page-turn buttons, which I've missed ever since replacing my Kindle Keyboard.
