Thanks everyone.
i'm almost 2 weeks in on my Oasis 1. i can't say i've found the perfect grip yet, but its definitely more comfortable that the Oasis 2 was (no hand cramping) and i can read for a couple hours at a time without any ill effect. but i do really miss that extra inch of screen space...
i think my previously experienced page turning issues may have been user error and/or the kindle indexing.
i also have gotten used to the light gradient. as i noted elsewhere, to my eye, the "gradient toward yellow" on the thin side is mitigated if i have the thick side held to the right. the down side of this are the light cones. there are two prominent light cones on the middle of the page that i still haven't been able to ignore. as luck would have it, they are much less intrusive if they are on the right hand side of the page, but then i have the light gradient issue to try to "forget." i'm pretty sure i'll keep it, but i'm tempted to order another one in hopes that i might get a better unit, but i'm not sure its worth the hassle and if i will likely get a unit with different issues.
finally, the good news is i have not had any problems with the charging covers connection to the main unit.
thanks again for everyone's helpful sharing and comments. i still may get an Oasis 2 at some point but that unit would be used exclusively for "not in bed" reading.
