In Praise of Oasis 2

I complain about the battery life on my Oasis 2, but as I've looked at buying a new ereader I've come to realize just how great this device is.

It has a fairly large screen which is beautiful.

The lighting system, although it does not include comfort light, is nearly perfect.

The inverting of text to white on black is so nice when reading at night so that the screen doesn't become an interrogation light as my wife sleeps.

It's light weight.

It's waterproof, I read in the tub sometimes, I read in the pool in the summer, when I'm out and it starts to rain, I don't have to worry.

I can sync books to my iPhone so that when I get stuck in a line at the DMV or while waiting for my son's soccer to end and realize I don't have my Kindle, I can still read for a bit on my phone. Also I can get reference material (highlights, notes, etc) on my Mac with the other app.

It has buttons for turning pages and the touch screen can be disabled. I use this when reading fiction in bed, being able to touch the screen while laying on my side or back makes it feel more like an actual book.

I've loved other aspect of other devices. My Kobo Aura one was great for large screen and amber light, android devices offer many options, but I gotta say as much as I've been frustrated at Oasis 2 for not having comfort light and a better battery life, in my opinion and experience, it is still the best e-reader on the market for simply enjoying reading a book.
