My poor Kobo is on its last legs, and I'm looking for a replacement. I like the Kindle Oasis for the screen size and storage capacity, and since I'm an experienced Calibre user, I know all about sideloading, formats, etc. My question though, is how is sideloading on the Oasis. On the Kobo, it seems to take it a very long time to process anything sent to it from Calibre via the USB cord. Is this also the case with the Oasis? I plan to transfer quite a lot of my collection over to the device.

I have an original H2O and it does not take a very long time to process anything sent to it. As for the Kindle, it's not nearly as well integrated with Calibre as the Forma is. Kobo can do a lot more with Calibre and has much better eBook management then Kindles.
