> the screen isn’t as good as the oasis

Genuinely interested: how good does the screen have to be for mimicking text on paper? I have a Kindle from around 2013, I don't think I would ever need a better quality?

Wow that sounds great! This would make me consider a Kobo now (though my old Kindle is still good enough) :-).

The 300 DPI screens are a nice step up, as are the variable colour-temp backlights.
