Why would you still go with an Oasis 3? It's two years old already. In that case, an update from Amazon could be right around the corner, and then you'll be kicking yourself. Also, it is "only" 7 inch instead of 8. I find the +/- 8 inch a sweet spot for reading. (I also have a 12.9 inch iPad, but I wouldn't want a ~13 inch e-reader. It allows for 2 roughly 7 inch pages side by side, but the footprint of the device is huge.)
First of all the style isn’t flawed, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not a comfortable style for others.

Yes I know the Oasis 3 is two years old, that’s why I am trying to cover as much of the cost as I can using sales of existing devices and a discount from Amazon. I’m also committed to a new device now as I’ve sent the trade in, plus I really don’t want a Paperwhite, not even the new 6.8 Signature version.
