If you're reading at home, the larger screen of the Oasis makes (for me) a tremendous difference. When my eyes were tired in the evenings, I had to use my reading glasses with my Voyage, but on the Oasis I can use a larger font with the same amount of text on the screen and read comfortably. It is, however, not nearly as portable as the PW or Voyage, and won't fit into a normal-sized pocket.

You really have to decide which is more important to you: the larger screen, or a more portable device.

I should add that the difference made by the extra 1" of screen size really surprised me. The reason I bought the Oasis was for the 32GB of storage, but it's turned out to be the larger screen that's made much more difference to me!
