My battery is very poor, and needs recharged two to three times per book, I can't really relax because of this.

If you usually buy through Amazon, you would probably be better with the Oasis, unless you are happy to switch to the Kobo store, and also convert all your Kindle books then copy them to your Kobo using your computer.

If you are in a country that supports Overdrive, the Kobo supports borrowing from your library direct from the device.
Sounds like you need both!
Seriously, though, it depends whether your priority is convenience of purchasing or being able to use the library.
The Kindle is solid and dependable, with frustratingly few options to adjust reading settings (wide margins - even on narrowest setting, few font bolding options). The Kobo feels very nice in the hand IMO due to the tactile plastic, it is also a more comfortable shape for me to hold.
They are both wonderful readers.
I hope you enjoy whichever one you pick, and please let us know what you decide.
