I turn pages numbers off and in no time they are back on. if I pick it up it goes forward multiple chapters. did that last night and this morning, and I did not touch the screen or the buttons. I was on chapter 8 and was suddenly on chapter 40. this was just unplugging it. not good for me at all. and the sharp edges are eating me up.

eta - if I could find a full back silicone back cover that wraps to the front like the PW latest gen, then that would solve the edges problem, but I would still need a replacement.
I understand.

I think most of the cases and covers I’ve seen for it are in one of two category types. Either they use a slip-in design where the Oasis is slipped into a bulky leather or faux leather case, or they use a plastic snap in plate to secure the Oasis. I got the Amazon case that uses the plastic snap in plate. I think it is too thin. I still remember the leather case I had for my K3 Keyboard model way back, and that was great, but the trend today is "thinner is better" in devices. But with my arthritis and carpel/cubital tunnel syndromes, "thin" makes cases difficult and painful to hold. I wish Otterbox made a Defender case for the Oasis, that is what I use on my iPhone XR and iPad. Unfortunately most people seem to prefer the thin cases these days, so not too many choices available that work for me.

It does sound like your Oasis likes to jump around the book a lot and the screen seems to activate commands on its own. I still wonder if that is due to holding the bare aluminum body and having static charges. Mine hasn't done any of that, but it is always in a case. And of course your Oasis could just be defective. Amazon's quality control probably isn’t as good as it should be.
