Update that possibly could help anyone seeking info on the battery life, as I was ......
I ended up ordering an Oasis per Black Friday deal. I found the battery life to be poor, draining pretty dramatically over 2-3 days with relatively limited use. Additionally, the Oasis I received had uneven screen lighting. It was not dramatic but I found it noticeable and it detracted from the reading experience. I returned the Oasis.
This Prime Day I got a new Paperwhite. While I prefer the amber lighting on the Oasis to the bluish lighting on the PW, this PW screen is very evenly lit with no discernible hot or cold spots. I expected to miss the page turn buttons, but so far I'm getting along fine with the touch screen.
The battery life on the PW seems to not be nearly as good as it was on my Kindle Keyboard when it was new. I use the light about half the time and I'm surprised at how quickly the battery drains -- but it lasts much better than the Oasis.
So for my use I prefer the PW.
