I've found reading in landscape mode to be most comfortable in handling the Oasis. It gives me that big lower edge, just like the Paperwhite. Conversely, it's also why reading in landscape mode for PW never worked out--I lost that big lower real estate to hold onto. So basically I've just paid $175 so I can read the PW in landscape mode, lol.

I'm using my little phone holder to hold the Oasis for hands free reading too. I also have an old zippered soft case that fits it snug. I'll probably buy a dedicated case for it one day, but the urgency isn't there anymore.

Things I've noticed in a day of ownership: 1) auto brightness = flickering light? 2) warm light, not completely sold on it...it's similarity to urine hue is ummm...difficult to ignore. 3) alignment is not available in Oasis??!! 4) is it me or are the margins (including header and footer) quite big? I feel like my PW has much smaller margins.
