I own the kindle generation 3 (been 6 years) and decided that it was time to upgrade to something with a better screen and back lighting. Received the Kindle Oasis this morning and I've been playing around with it. Loaded some books and started reading. I must say it is pretty nice, it's so much lighter, more compact, and so much more pocket friendly. An hour into reading and I have to say that I find reading on the Oasis so much more enjoyable. While everything is great and wonderful with the device itself, there is a BUT...and that is the price. I mean it's not like it's going to hurt my bottom line or anything but the idea of it being $300 for a 6 inch E-reader makes me feel like i just got slapped and got pick pocketed by amazon.

I went to best buy and checked out the current paper white & Voyager both which are cheaper than the Oasis and I just don't know. Neither really appealed to me after using the Oasis.
