For both Oases, when they are flat on a table, is the display level, and does the device rock when the page turn buttons are pressed? The Voyage meets these criteria.
Yes and no, respectively. (With the cover attached).

If it was an updated Voyage and not an Oasis, I might have bought one as a Christmas gift.

Two things you may be missing:

1) You're assuming the screen will mimic the characteristics of the Oasis (which, by the way, I do agree was not as sharp as the Voyage's screen).

2) There is no longer a battery in the cover, which was a concern that you expressed.

1. That makes a 7" Voyage much better than a KO2.
2. True.

But, what I don't know for sure is how fragile the KO2 is because of being so thin.

About the thinness of the first Oasis: For me, I always found that holding the Oasis was problematic due to its very lightness. Personally, I just wanted a little more 'heft' to the unit.

That's one reason I always use a case: it makes the reader more comfortable to hold.

My two main "reading machines" are a 3G Kindle Touch (using the Constantia font) and a Kindle Basic Black (I guess 4B?). They both have nice Amazon lighted cases. After I bought the Fire 7 I tried to use it for reading but I just can't my eyes to work right with it (it's nice to have for technical books, illustrated books, however). Besides a tablet is heavier and clunkier than an eReader. The Fire 7 gets plenty of use for other stuff, though. Now that I've got a good, illuminated Bluetooth keyboard it makes one heck of a light (easy to carry) word processor.
