Edit: Got the numbers wrong. The Oasis2 is actually $130 more than the KoboF. Yikes That's $CDN. Not sure how that works out in other countries, but the difference is HUGE when you factor in screen size and color light. I hadn't realized the price and spec difference.

Here's the U.S. prices
Oasis 2 $249.99

Kobo Forma $279.99

Same price at Walmart too
