I already listed a few but I'll mention them again. Flush glass is a premium feature which both Amazon and Kobo's top of the line readers have. Another is the front light. The Oasis frontlight is second to none while the Libra was plagued with uneven lighting on some units (supposedly it's been addressed, seems like Kobo has QA issues). The text clarity and contrast on the Oasis is simply better. The Libra screen has a weird blue/greenish hue to it and the warm temperature range is worse than the Kindle...its barely yellow on the warmest setting.
Like I said, from a hardware standpoint the Oasis wins but Kobo's software is better. Now if I could somehow frankenstein together an Oasis running Kobo software I'd have the perfect reader.
