I have a Kobo Aura One and love it, BUT I also have a Kindle Voyage. And the Voyage ( for me!) has the better screen. I figure - again, for me! - that the Oasis will be a BIT closer to my beloved Kindle Voyage.
So....should I change it to the 8-gig? Your postings here will be held in strict confidence!  |
Same exact boat. Need Kobo to fire up the drama by putting the Forma on sale too.
Seriously though, this sale is so tempting. It allows me to stay within the Amazon ebook world. I really appreciate being able to put my Paperwhite on airplane mode and continuing to read overdue library books (it sounds a little more complicated to do it on Kobos). It also allows me to sync with my PW so I can use it on the go and keep the Oasis at home.
The biggest sticking point is that the 7in screen isn't enough of a real estate upgrade for me. I've tried it a few times at my local Amazon store and each time, I haven't felt the screen was big enough. But that was also with the price at $250...maybe it's big enough for $175.
How long will this deal last? At least until Friday right? That will give me a chance to go to the store tomorrow and give it one more test drive.
