Thanks to everyone on their honest opinions on the new Oasis and for all the info on comparisons. I want to look at one in bestbuy, before I have this put under the Christmas tree. I need to make sure the screen is right for me 1st. Of course, with the price, it will be the only item on my Christmas list.

There is no hurry for me, as I currently use a flawless Voyage, but I hope that the new Oasis screen does not disappoint. I never did spring for the last Oasis, after I saw all the screen issues, but this one has many of the features I have been really looking for—such as reading while I shower : ) No, but really, one does not necessarily have to read by a pool. Just knowing that I could be caught in the rain reading and be fine is good enough for me. The new Oasis will give me the extra peace of mind when it come to taking it around to read.

Just hoping that the screen does not look like some of the paperwhites, which some people have nicknamed the "paperbeige."

Out of curiousness, will many of you keep your PW or Voyages once you have the new Oasis?
