There was never an actual Voyage 2 despite rumours by a certain site. Possible origin of rumours was the original Oasis? Hence my attempt at humour calling it a Voyage 2.

I've not seen an Oasis 1. I do have a Pw3 and did have an Oasis 2, which apart from being 7″ was only OK. The Libra and Libra2 I have seem better. I've not seen the Oasis 3.

Which Oasis, if any, is nearly impossible to change the battery on?

It's been reported here (somewhere) that the Oasis 3 is nearly impossible to change the battery without incurring cosmetic damage to the unit. I own an Oasis 3 - still great and holds a charge.

I also have an Oasis 1, but the screen controller may be defective. It has vertical lines going up and down the screen. I've taken it apart, and disconnected various cables and then reattached them, but...still can't get rid of those lines.
