Loading a ton of books at one time can also cause one or more books to get "stuck" while indexing. This chews up the battery, and prevents other books from being indexed. When that happens, books need to be removed from the device and redownloaded.

Books like study bibles can take hours to index as well. I don't know if the newer models have the same issues as the older Kindles, but I'm assuming the behind the scenes processes have not changed all that much.

The battery life on the 2nd gen Oasis is dismal. Combined with my reading style and habits, mean I need to plug mine in every 3 days. It's not a huge problem when at home, but I take a Paperwhite when traveling. My Oasis also goes from 30% battery to zip in huge leaps.

I like the screen size and the lighting is better than the 4th gen Paperwhite, but wouldn't repeat the purchase if I had it to do over again.
