I have the Oasis 3 and I love it. I previously had a Kindle Keyboard, so this is quite an improvement. I side load my books with Calibre and I convert from epub when necessary.

I love the ergonomics of the Oasis. The "bump" or bigger side, distributes the weight so that it balances in your hand for easy one handed reading. And can be flipped so that it can be used right handed or left. The buttons are placed where one hand can hold the reader and turn the page without using the off hand. Touch screen turning or swipes can be used also. Of course, some still prefer the form of the older models, but for me I love the newer form factor.

There are members who prefer Kobo over Oasis, and vice versa. You really can't go wrong with either, specially if READING is your primary goal.
