The warmer lighting option is a decent start, but I'll be sticking with Kobo for now. When I tested the Oasis 2 against other readers a few months ago, including my new Forma, I found that the Kindle devices just aren't for me. The warmer frontlight is a plus for the new Oasis, but just not enough to make me give up the Overdrive integration, Pocket integration, and library management options that Kobo gives me.

The build quality on my past devices have each been good enough that I haven't really needed something more and the aluminium was nice on the Oasis, but slippery in my hands. Despite the smaller screen size and other drastic differences, even the Clara HD is a win over the Oasis for me, but that's likely a very personal preference. If something were to make me switch to Amazon, it would likely be some of the book options they have that others don't.
