1) I am comparing to the PW3 with the 300DPI screen. The PW3 to me is quite laggy, the PW2 was faster probably because it had fewer pixels to play with. The Oasis 2 is buttery smooth and quick despite the larger screen.
2) I use a simple Moku case on my Oasis 2 just as on my PW3.
3) The PW3 is good for reading as I eat lunch because I can just set it on the table beside my plate and occasionally move a finger to flip the page. It sits flat. The Oasis 2 does not sit flat.
4) I have very large hands. I hold the PW3 in one hand between thumb and index finger. That's how large my hands are. Obviously I cannot hold the Oasis like that because it's way too wide.
That said, I love the actual operation of the thing, and the flush bezels, and the physical page flip buttons, and the fact that I can now make the fonts big enough to read while still having enough text on the screen to read. But the general shape just doesn't work for me, it doesn't lie flat and it doesn't slip into a large jacket pocket easily. (In case you are wondering, the big pocket on my wind / rain jacket will hold a liter bottle of water just fine, it is *big*).
