Hi.

My eperience with KOBO LIbra vs Kindle Oasis :

[Books]
- Kobo, unlike the Kindle, can view book information without having to be online (connected to Wi-Fi)..
- Kobo supports the ePUB format.
- Kobo works perfectly with Koreader.
- I live in the EU, so no Audiobooks are available to me on my Kindle.

[Settings]
- The menus on KINDLE are not as easily processed as on Kobo. It is not complicated, but to set up the page I have to go through several menus.
- Kobo may be more optimized in this regard. (but it's about everyone's preferences)
- What bothered me about OASIS was that it was not possible to ban screen autorotation. I often read in climbing, and oasis kept turning my screen, which was very uncomfortable for me.

[Screen]
- Kindle Oasis has significantly better contrast and backlight than Kobo Libra.
- Overall, I find the Kindle Oasis more durable, both with a screen and a metal body.
- The Kobo Libra screen reflects less direct light than the Oasis.

With KOBO, I can better spread the text across the entire screen.
On the "Kindle Oasis", the text has very large edges from the end of the display, so the whole place of the screen is not used, which is a shame.
*But who only uses KINDLE, probably does not even notice it, which means that there is no problem.

[Construction]
- Kobo is just a piece of crackling plastic. The quality of the KOBO construction has deteriorated a lot against the "AURA" range.
- Oasis has a better screen and body. In my case, however, OASIS is not very comfortable, it does not hold up well. (especially when I'm lying in bed and I have an oasis over my head)

*I remember all Kobo Aura H2O 2editions. Rubberized body, perfect contrast and color of the backlight (orange). Screws were used to construct the body. Now KOBO is only 100% of a piece of plastic attached to each other with four plastic clips.

[Battery]
- The battery on the Oasis even without Wifi and the like was quickly discharged. I will last a few weeks with Kobo Libra. With Kobo Libra, I recharge the reader after only 4 weeks. With Oasis at least 1x to 2x per week

PS : It also seems to me that KOBO is updating its software more + some adjustments and news.

Of course, if you buy books on Amazon, it's not worth buying KOBO or vice versa.

I would recommend you to try both devices and then choose your favorite.
Amazon allows return within 3 weeks (or so)
