I have both; I managed to leave my Voyage behind on the train in September and I bought a refurbished replacement. I also bought an Oasis and I do like the larger screen, especially as I am a quick reader. It is less comfortable to hold, though, and I prefer the page press to its buttons.

I am using the Oasis more and finding the battery life poor; last week I was off work sick and read for extended periods and the battery was getting low by the evening. I find Amazon's marketing misleading; it says the battery provides weeks of reading (with the light set to 11 and reading for 1/2 hour a day). I'm sure a large proportion of its customers will be reading for more than 1/2 and hour daily and when set to 11, my screen is very grey which definitely doesn't provide a like for like book experience.

The Oasis also seems to hang for quite a time when, for instance, I'm adding to a collection. I wonder if subsequent versions will get a more powerful battery?
