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)

He Derek,
Was it you asking me about this earlier in the thread? I was able to read in this config just fine. It used to tire my little finger after a while holding the weight of the voyage, but the difference in weight spread on the Oasis make it feel easier. It's an adjustment, but I think you'll be fine.
