FWIW I was very disappointed with the Oasis 3 initially, because the metal back made it so cold to hold -- but with a suitable transparent skin applied, that problem vanishes (at the cost of 4g of weight), and it's definitely my favourite e-reader now. The battery lasts quite a long time -- 15hrs or so -- far less than the 30--40hrs of the Oasis 1-plus-charging-cover, but it charges in half an hour rather than the Oasis 1's three hours, which makes up for it unless you're in the middle of nowhere miles from power for weeks on end (in which case, you'll likely have a USB power bank on you anyway).
I might still prefer the Oasis 1 if it was still being made with a new battery, but battery ageing is definitely affecting it by now (even the charging cover is impaired), while my Oasis 3 has none of those problems, being under a year old.
Beautiful screen, almost flawless and very easy to read on.
