I have both as well and find myself using the Paperwhite significantly more. The screens are close enough, though the Oasis is noticeably better if you put them side by side. That said, the Paperwhite is perfectly suitable for reading.

The Paperwhite, however, has vastly superior battery life to the Oasis. It's not even close. I read 2-4 hours per day and get weeks out of my PW compared to days w/ the Oasis. (wifi left on all the time for both devices)

If they released a new Oasis with battery life comparable to the current PW,I might upgrade. until then, the PW is the best for the way I use them.
