For the price, I think it's a terrific value compared to its direct competition. It bugs me the way the Paperwhite is quoted at $120, when to get it without special offers adds another $20 to the price, a whopping increase in percentage terms but the comparable price to other ad-less readers. The screen of the Aura Edition Two is laughable in a current release. And, of course, the new GlowLight has the NightMode light. And buttons.

Unfortunately, I can't cite double the memory as added value, which it would be if B&N didn't have a bull's eye on its foot.

I have to drive by the malls today and I'll swing in to take a look. B&N is next to Best Buy, so I'll see if I can see the new Oasis, but I know they won't have it on display.
