So what I've discovered since yesterday is that holding it in one hand when I'm sitting or even lying on my side is comfortable because of the way the back works. Doing so when I'm lying on my back, and holding the Oasis above me, causes it be to awkward. It's not resting in my palm it's falling toward me held by my thumb. So when I want to hit the page button it's a little awkward. I end up holding it two-handed anyway. For which it's slightly bigger size makes it slightly more awkward than my Paperwhites but still more comfy than my Kobo Aura One.

thanks for sharing this feedback. i've been very interested in getting the new Oasis, but this may be a show stopper for me. i too read on my back and i read one handed on my back with my Paperwhite and i hold it using an "L" configuration between my thumb and pointer finger. i had hoped that gripping the thicker portion of the new Oasis would be more comfortable than my current reading habits.
i had long wanted to buy the original Oasis but shied away from it given all the complaints about the uneven lighting. if i could find one of those with an even lit screen that would probably suit my needs better. (i don't need the waterproofing or audible functionality, but am primarily motivated by the larger screen and what i thought was potentially a more comfortable one handed use while reading in bed, lying on my back)
