I'd say that the Oasis has slightly better contrast, but it's not enough to outweigh the advantages of the Kobo. The user interface of the Kobo is far superior to the Kindle's. The Kobo is also definitely easier to hold with the side slightly angled up where the page turn buttons are. The metal of the Kindle makes it cold and unpleasant for me to hold (or maybe it's the glass since I do have a cover on it). And the additional screen size on the Kobo, even though it's not a lot, definitely makes a difference.

I still buy my books from Amazon and use Calibre to convert them to epub.
