If the Oasis 1 was unavailable, or only available in Wi-Fi, the semi-retired Voyager would have to step up into the portable mode. Oasis 2 is great for reading at home, but I wouldn't want to carry it around all day.

If I had to change anything about the Oasis 1 it would be to add the ability to charge separately instead of only via the Oasis. Then the extra battery could be charging while I continue to read.
I agree that the Oasis 1 & 2 play 2 different useful roles which is another reason I can't understand why the Oasis 1 was dropped. My biggest issue with the Oasis 2 is the small battery, not the overall design.
