as a scientist/engineer, i am baffled why i didn't find the Oasis 2 comfortable, but i didn't. as has been stated, with the center of mass restring more firmly in ones hand, the net "moment/torque" on the hand should be less on the Oasis 2, and hence, it should be more comfortable.
yet, when i held the Oasis 2 (owned one for 1 week and recently tried it again at the store), it made my hand hurt in spite of the weight and distribution which should help with the net moment arm. my guess is that for whatever reason, the shape of the body and weight distribution causes me to grip the device awkwardly when lying on my back in bed. most certainly if i read sitting down, or even standing, the Oasis 2 is pretty comfortable to hold. yet, lying on my back in bed, i can much more comfortably hold the Voyage or PW forming an "L" with my thumb and forefinger.
even with my oasis 1, i am still finding that "L" formation with the case on is equally or maybe more comfortable than gripping the thick side of the ridiculously light Oasis 1 without a case. (i can do the L sort of thing without the case, but it doesn't feel as stable due to the thin edge)
