They ditched the concept of the removable battery in Oasis 1 - but as we've said, the Oasis was still kept around for other reasons, so bringing up this old issue of a removable battery is a moot point. The shape works well - it's light, it's smooth, and it's balanced for most people - I find it much more comfortable to hold than a paperwhite. Personally I like the metal and have no idea what people mean when they say it's slippery, although I've seen several state that, it's not something I've experienced. If they do change the metal, I hope they don't go too plasticky
