Is buying a Kindle worth it? I'm looking at the Oasis, because I want the ability to disable touch screen and turn pages with the buttons (ya girl has ADHD and sometimes needs to follow along the line of text with a finger to avoid losing track of where I am).
I just love having a physical book in my hands, but I'm think the Kindle would be cheaper, and more convenient for travel, etc.

I adore my Kindle for several reasons, but I still love real books, too. My husband bought me my first Kindle, because I read in bed, and he's a light sleeper. He was always annoyed by my book light, and the sound of pages turning.
I love the way it slips into the pouch on the side of my purse, that I can load it up with books for a trip, even audiobooks--- it links to the Bluetooth in my car. You will never be without something to read; you can have a new book in minutes.
It is worth considering the audio function. I don't know if the Oasis has this? I think you are wise to choose that model for the push button page turning, though. My Paperwhite sometimes turns pages when I don't want it to, and I have to find my place again.
I think the Oasis does have this - I'm not much of an audiobook fan though. I end up zoned out and missing major plot points 😂
I know what you're saying on the audiobooks. I have some long car trips that I do by myself, and I can't stay awake without an audiobook, but I do miss things when my attention is focused on driving.
