I haven't compared them myself, but I did read a post today on the e-blog-reader that states this was designed to be more comfortable than the Oasis because the back is completely flat like most e-readers. A lot of people were turned off from the uneven back of the oasis. They curved it for the battery in front instead of the back to counteract this, which makes sense to me.
