The Oasis 2 went back to Amazon today. There were pros and cons to both it and the H202 but in the end Kobo won IMO. Main differences to me:
Wins for Kobo:
- much cleaner interface
- can turn down blue light
- wake up/sleep fast
- nice Pocket integration
- excellent battery life
Losses for Kobo:
- quite heavy
Wins for Oasis
- page turns almost instant
- page turn buttons
- nice clean default font
- lightweight
- Goodreads integration
Losses for Oasis
- battery life seemed abysmal. I didn't use it much but it didn't look like it was going to make a week
- slow to wake up/unlock (why the extra swipe?) and sleep
Seems like the perfect e-reader is still elusive! Needs all those wins and none of those losses.
