I don't like the metallic back. It feels cold, it's too tough to actually pry the screen out of the device (if you ever need a battery swap), and it's made too strong if you're going to combine it with a cover, that also covers the back of the Oasis (so you're basically having 2 covers).
The metallic back also weighs a bit more than a pure plastic one.
The battery.. yes.. Is a major con. They could have extended some of the protrusion in the back a little more, to add more room for more battery life.
For a device like this, 1500mAh is good enough.
Remember it's not only an ebook reader, but also a device that reads audio books, connects to wifi, has sort of a browser, a touch screen and light. All these things suck a lot more battery than a standard ebook reader without them.
The screen size is good for books, but the resolution could easily be halved and still look good!
It's not a con, it just needs more CPU cycles, to display a screen of text.
Images do look better on them!
The resolution is fine enough to see PDFs; but the screen size is too small to read lettertype/A4 PDFs comfortably.
I'm glad amazon listened, and you can actually turn OFF the screen light.
I also love the Night mode reading!
Funny thing is, night mode reading should be used in full day light on an e-ink screen.
It'll help not burn your eyes when reading outside.
While regular viewing is best for night reading.
On an LCD, the reverse is true.
Night mode on an LCD (white text on a dark background), reads best at night, or in the dark. It protects your eyes from getting too much screen light in, and headaches as a result; while reading night mode on an LCD screen in full daylight, is going to make the screen harder to read.
