The shape of the Oasis 2 doesn't bother me with a case on. Like others have said the battery is where Amazon missed the mark again. I read mostly at night, I need the light on obviously, if I didn't want to use the light I would have bought the basic kindle. Also with a larger screen and more storage and audible, the Oasis 2 has a battery that's smaller than the Paperwhite. I think if you read with a low light setting and smaller fonts and leave wifi and 3g off while reading, your going to see better battery results. That's good for those who can, but I read at mid level brightness 12-15 and always have on my other Kindles and have not seen them go down that fast in a week. Like others I read anywhere from one to two hrs. each day. So I'm charging every few days. Wifi off while reading. Other than that I like the Oasis 2, just hope they get the battery right on the next one, otherwise it's only going to appeal to those who read with lower light settings and can get better results.
Also I wonder how long the battery will last over time, with my charging so often. I can see maybe 3yrs, or less, others with less charging will be longer.
