Peter walks you through the reading experience with both ebooks and manga, the shopping and some of the software based features like Kobo Awards and X-Ray.It supports audiobooks, but only ones bought via Kobo’s own store in a homage to Amazon’s worst qualities. The video below is our full comparison video where you can visually get a sense of the hardware and software experience. Amazon is a little more basic, but more appealing to new users. Kobo has a bit of an advantage because you can sideload in your own fonts and it has more advanced options to control the font size, font weight and others via slider bars. Reading on both of these devices are really good. Amazon and Kobo both have extensive manga selections, I think Manga looks better on the Forma, thanks to the larger screen and rapid page turn engine. Their bestseller lists and featured lists are better than Amazon. This is sometimes a double-edged sword, as there is a definite lack of quality, but the cream always rises to the top. Kobo is no slouch when it comes to their ebook store and they organize it really well, it is easier to find big name authors and content from major publishers.

The Oasis has a more complicated version of Overdrive support via WhisperNet, but it only available with an internet browser and is only for US customers. You can save hundreds of dollars borrowing content from the library instead of buying it. One of the big advantages of the Forma is that you can borrow ebooks directly from your local library, if they do business with Overdrive. The Oasis has automatic orientation that switches from landscape to portrait mode, but the Forma has 360 degree orientation via a gyroscope and there is an option to lock the orientation once you find a mode you like. The Oasis and Forma both have manual page turn buttons, which is good for for people who do not want to rely exclusively on the touchscreen. The warm light system is totally configurable with slider bars or can be totally disabled. This provides even light distribution, but you can mute the bright white lights with various degrees of orange, to produce a candlelight effect. This device has 17 LED lights, half of them are white and the others are red. The Forma lighting system is better than the Kindle because it employs a color temperature system.

It has 512MB of RAM, Bluetooth, WIFi and access to the Audible audiobook store, so you can listen to audiobooks via wireless headphones or speakers. The Kindle Oasis utilizes a brand new Freescale dual-core 1GHz processor, which is the only e-reader that is using it.
