It's weird to me that Kindles aren't bigger than they are, because they seemed huge when they came out. For me, it's just so vastly superior to "real" books.
The size is my only issue. I love how it looks reading it, but I just can't get over how small it is, even compared to paperback books. I've been using a 10 inch tablet as a reader for a few years so it's exaggerated for me.

I've had my Oasis for almost 2 years. Battery is ok, definitely doesn't last as long as my old Paperwhite. I can get 3 weeks of daily reading w/o recharging.

I actually like the asymmetric design. I usually hold my Kindle with one hand. To me, it's easier to hold that bulkier side with 1 hand as my fingers can kind of wrap around it. Now for someone who holds it with two hands, I can see that feeling odd.
I also like to set it flat - e.g. on the food tray in your plane seat. It's just ultra-aggravating in that instance that it lists to the side.

With regard to the actual size, I think it's effectively perfect. It can fit into back pockets and the like.
