@djpiebob @cyen I like the Oasis but I think the regular paperwhite is a significantly better deal. If you can get the Oasis on sale is best, I think

@migueldeicaza loss aversion is a hell of a drug. each downvote in Stack Overflow costs -1 reputation, and I was always surprised that (some) people with tens of thousands of reputation would avoid casting downvotes because it cost them 1 rep every time they did it.
