I won't be getting an Oasis 4 because of the horrid UI.

Yes, the gen 9 Oasis I have (32g + 3G/4G, depending on country) is only used for testing. I don't like the metal casing, the bump (be fine if all that thickness), inability to set collections via Calibre (Collections don't work well without Sync and I can't delete the ones on my Amazon account) and series data is rubbish sometimes set by Amzon/Publisher; you can't edit series info.
So it would be nice if I added something to make the back level, stuck on something over the back and ran Kobo firmware. Though it was a S/H bargain, not blacklisted and like new with a decent LiPoly cell life I think a waste of money.
Curiously the only way to force a Cellular connection is to turn off the local WiFi or never add the password. It's possible sometimes to have a better 3G speed than cabled Internet speed, though fortunately my Internet is very stable. It is though only 6 Mbps to 8 Mbps and typically 7.6 Mbps downlink and mostly 0.9 Mbps uplink (A 8 Mbps/1Mbps package).
