Amazon has a 30 day return window.

There's no difference between the two models other than the frontlight. It depends on how important that is to you. Me, I'm not interested, the previous model is good enough for me.

Yep, On one hand, I knew when I bought an Oasis 2 last week from their amazing deal, a new model would be announced soon after. (I was right!)
On the other hand, after seeing the difference is to make the light look yellow, well, I can now sleep well.

Comparing the two, it does seem like the weight has changed so its a bit lighter. Just guessing, but maybe from a plastic backed e-ink screen instead of glass?

Other than that, I see little reason to get this if you already have an Oasis or even a somewhat comparable e-reader that works. It just feels like Amazon is late to the color temperature lighting game and finally want to capitalize on it with their premium/large display device.

Yes the weight is a few grams less. Don't know, wouldn't a plastic-backed screen make a bigger difference? And they don't advertise it at all.

That's rather the point, is it not? For some people, lack of a warm light prevents them from sleeping well .

Plastic is lighter than glass and even allows for some flexibility. It's probably not worth mentioning in the marketing though unless it's part of significant other changes.

Yes, I meant wouldn't the weight be even lighter than those few grams if the screen was plastic-backed? Kobo Forma with its 8'' screen doesn't weigh more than the Oasis with a 7'' screen.

That's true, but the Forma has plastic body basically all over, including the front of the display, not just it's backing. The Oasis has an aluminium body and has probably kept the front of the display as glass to keep a more "premium" feel to it.

Again, it's all just a guess from me since nothing else has really changed on the specs or on the outside that I can see.

Can anyone confirm if the battery is 1000mah again? I can't see anything in the Amazon listing or in the user guide.

I prefer the white/blueish to the yellow so I guess it makes my decision easy.

I've yet to get an Oasis, but if i see one with a good screen (as good as my current reader), then I' might spring for it; but I definitely will not jump on the preorder bandwagon; I got burned once preordering a PW and received one faulty item after another. So, I will wait patiently until i see hands on reviews o and actually hold the item at a best buy, and if the screen looks up to "Voyage" standards then I'll switch to Oasis.
