I'm intrigued by the aluminum bodies and finally putting page turn buttons back, but putting the buttons in the cover is clumsier than my 2016 Oasis. When you remove its cover, it is wafer thin, light, and has page turn buttons! Granted the tiny battery in it that gets recharged by the cover is a disaster, with the readings of how much battery charge is left in the device bouncing all over the place for the last few years (and didn't get any better when I replaced that battery).
I got the Colorsoft on release day, and it's a nice unit, but it has less style (it's just not as nice to hold). And while I forget about it while reading, there's no question the Oasis's screen is nicer since it doesn't have that mesh layer. This newest Colorsoft is probably a bit better in the hand since it's aluminum and thinner, but I can't see the quality of the screen being that much better than mine.
So much for my hope they'd release a 10th anniversary Oasis this year...
