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).

I love the shape. Have loved it since the Oasis 1 was released in 2016. Sold my Voyage last week because it was sitting unused on the shelf. I just couldn't read on it anymore, it was so unergonomic for me. I prefer my Oases and my Libra to the regularly-shaped ereaders any day. And it appears I'm not the only one, as Kobo has copied the design from Amazon and now uses it for its own premium readers. But yes, as with any other invention there are people who find it not to their taste and unfortunately you're one of them. Perhaps you should get a new Paperwhite or a Kobo Clara instead?
By the way, I use this case for both of my Oases, as they're a bit too slippery naked:
