In case anyone is interested, I decided to buy a Kobo Libra H2O, which is comparable (but $100 less) than the Kindle Oasis. So far I really like it. It is lighter than my Kindle Paperwhite and since I have arthritis in my wrists the Kobo is easier to hold. It has some features the Oasis does not. It is missing one Kindle feature that I know of so far but which can be worked around.
I purchased a book from the Kobo site and was able to use Calibre to convert it to a plain EPUB for use on other devices. I have also been able to transfer Amazon ebooks to the Kobo via Calibre (with plugins installed). So I am a happy camper. Now if I can just find time to read all the books I have stored on these devices ...
