I love my Kindle Oasis. At first I thought I'd hate the asymmetrical design, but the way it's weighted fits right into one hand, so I don't get strain from propping a book open with my thumb and don't have to change position every time I want to turn a page, just press a button or swipe the screen. It's backlit, so I can read in the dark. E-ink is easy on the eyes, and of course I can fit a whole library of books in it. The best part is it's water resistant (I think one of the main reasons I upgraded from my original kindle) so I can read in the bath and not worry about getting a book wet. So relaxing! I hadn't been able to do that before.
The only complaint I could have is that the battery doesn't last quite as long as my old kindle, but that one wasn't back lit. These days I go long stretches between reading too, so I notice the battery level less.
I used to read on my phone, but definitely prefer the kindle for books. It fits right in my purse so it's really convenient.
