I've had decent results with a 6" Paperwhite after running the PDF through k2pdfopt specifying native PDF output (not reformatting, merely reducing margins to fit more on a page) and landscape output. The page turns work intuitively in landscape, tap bottom for next, top for back.
I say "decent results" on a 6" reader because it's just on the cusp of comfortable readability for me. With a 7" Oasis, it should be considerably better.
==============================================
EDIT: Ignore useless text hidden in spoiler below. The latest k2pdfopt supports the Oasis 2.
Spoiler:
I just attempted to do a quick test on my new Oasis 2, but in k2pdfopt you select a device model in the rightmost dropdown, which "sets width, height, dpi, and corner marking for selected devices" according to the help for parameter "-dev". But there's no Oasis preset, so I don't know what settings to use.
Has anyone already figured this out? I don't have the need right now so don't want to spend the trial-and-error time.
Preliminary guesses (add these to command line/command line box on the GUI):
-w 1398 [wild guess because I don't know how this is determined: Oasis is native 1448px, PW2 is native 768px, but its -w value is 718px, so I likewise subtracted 50 from the Oasis's native 1448px.]
-h 1205 [similar wild guess, using the PW2's difference of 59px (1024 native - 965 value that k2pdfopt uses) to subtract from the native Oasis height of 1264 to get 1205.
-dpi 300 [a check of various devices shows this value is the native DPI]
[leave out corner marking spec because its default is "mark" and I have no idea how to set this--it's try till an error.]
