Thanks. Every time someone posts about the great screen, I am tempted. But I suspect the Oasis 1 is still better for me than the Oasis 2

Thank you!

If you mean you are lying flat on your back with the device held directly above your face, so it's essentially horizontal, then I cannot advise. That seems a really uncomfortable way to hold anything while reading, ipad, physical book, whatever.
I do read in bed all the time, and I hold my Oasis one handed in my left hand, effectively pinched between my thumb on the front and first and second fingers on the rear. My little finger pops underneath to support. The device is held tipped back a bit from vertical. I held the Voyage the same way and my little finger doest get tired with to Oasis like it did with the Voyage.

Thank you! This is quite helpful. I read similar to you, just didn't describe it clearly.

I actually do like the design (I have an Oasis 1). My concern is the added weight of the Oasis 2. But if it "feels" lighter than the Voyage (which I also have), even while reading lying down, it might be worth it to me if the screen is better than what I have now ...
