I never used the Aura One, although I did want one. When the Oasis was released, I decided to go with it, and I'm glad I did. It's a great device, best Kindle I've ever used, and I've had several...
The 2nd gen Kindle was my first one, then a couple of the little basic models with the 5 buttons on the bottom bezel, (this was my least favorite, I didn't care for it at all), then the 1st gen Paperwhite which I liked, then the 2nd gen Paperwhite which became my favorite for a long time.
Then I got a Kobo Glo HD because of the better font controls, which has been my main reader for the past year, until I got the Oasis 2.
The new Oasis does offer the screen inverse, which many users like at night. I don't see me using it much, I had to increase the font size to make up the reduced contrast. But everything else about this device is top notch IMO. And it's nice to have wireless delivery options again, especially the Send to Kindle feature.
I thought the auto-rotate would bug me, but it has turned out to be a feature I really like. It makes switching hands while reading very smooth. There is very little about it that I don't like.
If you buy from Amazon, you can always return it in the first 30 days if it doesn't meet your needs or expectations.
