I agree, in my opinion the Oasis has the best design of all for holding in one hand. I got a Kobo Libra Colour which has a similar form factor with buttons on the side, but the lopsided design of the Oasis makes it much more comfortable to hold as the center of mass falls close to the hand; I always feel like my Libra is “pulling” on the side where I’m not holding it and must often use my other hand to hold it comfortably.
It’s really a shame that Amazon has discontinued it; I guess it was just too costly to make compared to the Paperwhite. Although I’m not in the market for yet another 7” device, I’d still be very happy if this other 2024 mystery device turns out to be an updated Oasis.
