I actually quite like the buttons on the Oasis. I've had regular kindles and then the Oasis, and far prefer it in every way. I've thought about buying a new one, but they don't seem to have really changed much, so I'm still on my original Oasis.
The buttons are well-placed for me. I hold it in one hand and my thumbs naturally rest right there.
My one complaint is that the touch-screen is still active and sometimes it changes pages when my thumb moves too far in, or when I close the cover. (No idea why the latter happens. Does the cover touch the screen and cause a page flip?)
There might be a better arrangement for the buttons, but I can't imagine what it is.

- fumar 5y agoOasis is my favorite kindle next to the original. I have had many. Oasis is a great travel size. It fits anywhere. I wish they would release an updated version of the smaller one.
- majormajor 5y agoYeah, I wish I could turn OFF the screen page turning. If I'm reading at night as I fall asleep I don't want to wake up to a book in a different place because my finger brushed the screen as I nodded off.
- dunnevens 5y agoYou can. At least on the Oasis. Tap the menu button. Tap “Turn off touchscreen”.
- dunnevens 5y agoTap the menu button. Tap “Turn off touchscreen”. That takes care of what is a major annoyance. This is on my 3rd gen Oasis. I don’t know if this feature is available on yours.
