Yes, my mistake, I was thinking "white" leds which are either blue or uv based, probably blue to make it cheaper.

@Plumadona how did you get your 1000 books on the Oasis?
I done 100 books, 10 at a time from the browser, and it took forever!
Pressing 'sync', doesn't really sync the books to the device.

If you are okay with the KFX version of your books, it is easier to simply turn wifi on, go in cloud ("all") and click all books in list view, then go to next page, click all again. Goes pretty quick and you don't have to wait for the downloads to finish before clicking more.

Things I do hate about the oasis:
6- Screen light stays on, even at setting zero!

Not true, only if you are in inverted mode. Black text with white background turns light off at 0. You might need to update to 5.9.2 for this, cannot remember if the FW that shipped turned light off.

10- Price, Price, and price! For the hardware that it has, it should be compared to a 5 years old smartphone (or older), so the hardware should be dirt cheap.

You are underestimating the cost of the screen. Show me a 7" tablet with a 300 ppi screen for $50, please. I would gladly buy one.
