Amazon last week offered the Kindle for $59 and also a chance for me to do a trade in. I got $75 for my Oasis and I spend $80 and I got the Kindle without aids, and I also got a cover for the Kindle for a little over $5, and to boot I got 3 months of Unlimited. I am happy with the Kindle, and I am asking myself why I ever spend so much for the Oasis.

My Voyage (much-loved) died and I too, bought the Oasis and I HATE the "handle" shape. Simply hate it. I use it, for some stupid reason--my Fire is too old, my Fire 10" is too big, my Paperwhite (old) has an Otterbox on it and it's too heavy and the Oasis, while not "just right" like the porridge, is the closest. But I HATE IT.
The lower-right-hand corner digs into my right (holding and dominant) hand. I'm bony and it drives me nuts. I've been considering a new one, but I'm still so PO'ed about how unergonomic the Oasis is, I'm reluctant to even shop for the next/new Kindle eInk. (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrumble).
