It must be because there are more LEDs. The lighting is very even. The warm light does not get as orange as the Nook, but it is good enough.

I would not like to use it without a case. The metal case is not really comfortable. The ledge on the back doesn't seem to be in the right place for a comfortable hold. However, I put it in the waterproof fabric case and it is very comfortable. The front cover folds to the back and covers the ledge. With the weight concentrated on the side with the buttons it is very nice to hold. The buttons are good. They do make an audible click. I would prefer the haptic sensors that the Voyage had, but the buttons on the Oasis work fine.

I do change hands frequently when I read, so I was worried that I would not like having to rotate the reader to change hands. That doesn't seem to be a problem. The screen rotates instantly.

I haven't had it long enough yet to need to charge it, so I can't speak to battery life. I am very happy I bought it. I would recommend it at the Prime Day price.
Thank you.
And prime day is today isn't it? Guess I'll go see what the oasis is running at...
