I'd personally be leery of buying the original Oasis. It has an internal battery that's 1/6 the size of the batteries in other Kindles and that means it should die much faster. It may be that the Oasis battery isn't difficult to replace but I'd check that out before I'd consider getting one.
I realize there's a battery in the cover but really that's only a portable charger. It runs on the internal battery and the cover's battery just charges that.
Lately there have been more complaints about the battery in the original Oasis dying than there have been about other models of the Kindle and I suspect that's why.
