My 2017 Oasis has dismal battery life. I read fast, use a larger font, an during the day the light is all the way up unless I am outside. I also use the Kindle often during the day, so it is waked up and put to sleep often. I get maybe 15 hours of usable battery life, and the battery drains quickly after it gets below 20%.
It's not a big deal for me, I plug it in every 2-4 days overnight. If the screen light was brighter on my 2019 Paperwhite, I would use it more, and don't think I would buy another Oasis. It's best feature for me is the auto-rotate, but I am not crazy about the form factor and do not use the buttons and would not miss them if they were gone. IMO the Oasis is too expensive for what it offers.The screen lighting is great.
My perfect e-reader screen would be about 4.5" x 6.5", taller and narrow, more like a paperback book. No buttons, with a .75" bezel on the sides, and .5" top and bottom bezels.
