In my quest for a better e-reader where I didn't have to worry about the battery, I first bought a Nook Glowlight 3. Its rubberized bezel feels very comfortable in your hand and the screen is beautiful. I'm spoiled by the page turn buttons on the Oasis, though, and the buttons on the Nook don't respond as quickly. And the rest of the software is not good. A good reader to load a few books on to take on a trip, or to go somewhere when you have an appointment.
I just bought a Kobo H2O, 2nd edition, since lots of people rave about their Kobos. The screen is not very responsive to touch, though, so I don't see myself keeping it. My least favorite of the three.
No perfect e-reader available, I don't think.

I agree the Oasis 2 would be perfect except for the battery life. I also wonder why they base their kindles on those who read only 30 mins, a day ? If someone spends more on a premium device, you would think they are probably reading more than 30 mins a day.
