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).

I bought the Oasis before I bought the Forma. When I bought the Oasis I was happy with the larger screen. I didn't realize what I was missing until I got the Forma; much better form factor for holding, and the internal firmware/software is light years ahead of the Kindle.
