probably because some people don't read specs, they just think newer, more expensive, what's not to like...
I was just quoting statistics, I have read reviews that say how great it is to have a cool metal frame, and other reviews that say the opposite
the critical reviews also say that the metal frame has sharp edges which add to the discomfort...
if amazon had a actual shops it would be no big deal to try then buy, but I would not want to buy one on line and return it for look& feel reasons, as that adds to the risk of amazon closing your account for too many high value returns.
A lot of verified purchase reviews do say the oasis 2 is too heavy to hold one handed for long periods, so when we start seeing kobo forma reviews we could see the same critisisms again
The most expensive Kindle I have owned was the discontinued Voyage and I never liked the expensive page turn buttons, so I sold it and " downgraded" to a paperwhite which suits me better
not impressed either with the range of colours on the top end models - both the oasis & the forma come in black or ... er .. black. a bit like a model T ford.
I much prefer a white paperwhite, colorwise.
