I voted oblong, I have used square readers exclusively for the past three years, but I recently revived an old Paperwhite 4 of my husband’s (I bought him the PW 5 for Christmas, lucky him!) and I have been really enjoying the compact size and symmetrical form. Plus I was actually able to put it in my back pocket, something I had never previously tried to do. I can hold it above me when reading in bed and it just feels right, instead of feeling something is going to topple. I often read the Oasis in landscape mode to get the symmetry, but then I make the margins wider as otherwise the lines are too long for me to scan easily. So I probably end up with the same number of words on screen.
I use Charis Modified Larger to compensate for the slightly washed out font on the PW4 and it is the perfect reader for me. I'm now contemplating selling my Oasis 3, even though the display is noticeably sharper, and it has the amber light.
I find myself wishing that Amazon would make a new 6” reader in a neater body, with the amber light, plus a glass screen.
