My first Kindle was a Kindle DX (10") with buttons. and I absolute loved that thing. After my ex sat on it, cracking the screen so badly it made it unusable, I moved on to a paper white. It was fine. I did enjoy the portability and the touch screen, but I would constantly be fighting with the device's touch screen page turning feature. It would constantly misread my palm or thumb as page turns, constantly losing my place, and as a result I found myself holding the device in very uncomfortable ways.My old paperwhite finally started to show real wear with cracks on the screen and uneven backlight... so after some research, I made the switch!I was actually ready to buy a Kindle Colorsoft (if it were available in Canada), I've always found that Amazon does a great job with fit and finish on new tech, and every Kobo in the past I've picked up and played with felt cheap and inferior. Well, Kindle Colorsoft's lack of availability pushed me to watch a few reviews comparing and contrasting the two e-readers, and I'm glad I did!After an hour with it, all I can say is that this thing rules; I never had an Oasis, so I can't compare these ergonomics to the last Kindle with buttons, but it's incredibly comfortable to read on. I can hold it _any_ which way I want and the picture auto rotates, the user interface has also come a long way, so far in fact, that I think it's surpassed the Kindle interface. The color is nice to have when you've got pictures in a book you want to look at, and the natural light backlight is great - feels like orange meets a tinge of green -- really easy on the eyes.Unless you're dying for Kindle's comic book feature, where it shows you panels as pages, just get this thing.Why Amazon got rid of buttons on a the Kindle lineup is beyond me.
