I never liked the overhead lights on planes or bedside lamps for reading. Hard to find a position where my hand doesn't cast a shadow on the screen.

I wanted a "cheaper" reader for travel as well. Alas, front light and at least 200ppi pixel density are both non-negotiable. The ability to run KOReader is also a big consideration. Thankfully, my main reader (PW4 32GB) is moderately priced enough that I'm not too scared to bring it with me when I travel. I don't think I'd take that risk with the Oasis, Aura One or Forma.
