Thanks for all your comments!

Finally I have ordered both of them, because I found that I can return the items for free within 15 days (they were in the same store).

So I will be able to test both devices and decide for myself which one suites me best. I think this is the best solution, because I really was having a hard time to decide.

Before having test them, this is how I see the things:

In favor of Kobo Libra
  • Library support.
  • Better battery.
  • More flexibility to adjust text = more pleasant reading.
  • More confortable to hold? (I have read mixed opinions).

In favor of Kindle Oasis
  • Better screen and frontlight.
  • Faster.
  • Better buttons.
  • I'm already in Amazon ecosystem.

That is. I know it's not a great deal, but considering that mi first intention was to buy a Paperwhite at most, even 30 € is a decent saving for me.

Also, the Libra condition is supposed to be "Excellent" and they provide years of warranty. The Kindle is rated just as "Used".

I was not aware of the possibility of being blacklisted. Why does this happen? Because the repeated changes of ownership?
