So your main reason for returning the Libra 2 is because you find the Oasis screen better to read from? I'm genuinely surprised! I thought, the Libra 2 takes the cake when it comes to a stunning screen on the current Ereader market.

How often would you define "voraciously"? At least 2-3 hours daily? I read around 30 mins a day, max an hour, so hopefully the battery won't be as bad in my case.

I wonder if I'm the only who actually prefers having zero information about page numbers/percentage/chapter while reading. Zero distraction. Just me and the story

I plan on slapping a skin/decal on it to solve this problem
