Nice review, I've only had mine for 4 days and like it a lot. The shape is fine with me, I loved he shape of the Oasis 1. Then again I have the discontinued "official" cover that results in the back being completely flat when it is on.
The bigger screen is a big plus, waterproof didn't matter to me. Battery life does seem to be less than the Oasis 1 but then again the combined battery size of the Oasis 1 and its case I believe is bigger than the battery of the Oasis 2. I saw somewhere a chart that listed history of current and past Kindles that include the battery size/rating and the Oasis 2 was a little smaller than even the Voyage battery.
I will have to charge mine today but I have downloaded some big books (2 Delphi Collections) that had to index and it ate the battery up pretty good and I did not plug it in while it was doing as I wanted to see the impact.
