Got my new Oasis last night

The screen is beautiful with even lighting and no pinhole lights visible on the screen. Both of my Voyages started out with a couple of tiny pinhole size lights, and the replacements that were sent had more.

The screen size appears to make a big difference compared to both of my Voyages. Although the font boldness adjustment has made the Voyages more readable without going to a larger size font.

The real buttons on the new Oasis seem more intuitive to me than the Voyages touch buttons. The Voyage sometimes doesn't turn a page at the press of the button.

I am glad the Oasis buttons are programmable, so I could set them to match where the Voyage ones are placed.

Overall, I'm exceptionally pleased with my new Oasis.

The cover is a different story. The magnets seem too weak. The Oasis has already fallen out twice (luckily just on my desktop). The prop stand started out too stiff, but now it doesn't seem sturdy. So the cover may go back. $60 for the leather cover is too much for it not to be perfect.
