![]() ![]() One of the other great features about e-readers is you can customize the screen for you. You can make and export notes if you like to read books for work or school and integrated Wi-Fi means you can look words up or do quick searches too. The text is very easy to read it’s sharp and dark and pops off the page. What can you expect in an e-book reading experience? You can keep your place at all times, even while flipping around the book. The convenience of e-books can’t be understated, but yes, you’ll face an adjustment period. I was a die-hard paper book reader until I finished book one of the Mockingjay series and desperately needed book two at 1am. If you’re not familiar with e-readers, they can take some getting used to. It’s also the only one with buttons to turn pages and the only one that will automatically reorient itself if you turn it upside down, but the other devices don’t use buttons so there’s no need to re-orient.īumpout grippable back Reading experience: what’s is like using an e-reader? Oasis is the only e-reader from Amazon with Adjustable warm light and auto-adjusting light sensors to adjust tones to the time of day. The Kindle Oasis, like the paperwhite, is waterproof, while original Kindle is not. What does Oasis have that Kindle and Paperwhite don’t? That’s remarkable, and weeks longer than most tablets. In real-life scenarios, you can read two 300-page books at an average reading pace with medium brightness levels on the Kindle Oasis on a single charge. Amazon says the Oasis will last up to 6 weeks of 30 minutes of reading a day with the brightness level set to 13. The battery of the Oasis is one of its significant upsides. The screen of the device reorients the reading position if you rotate it 180 degrees when you grip it with your left hand as opposed to the right. Other benefits of the Oasis it suits both lefties and righties. Furthermore, the reading experience gets even better thanks to the device’s adjustable back light feature. Reading on the Oasis is a delight as the texts look crisper and more precise-thanks to the e-reader’s e-ink technology, which matured tremendously over the last decade. The Oasis has a 7-inch monochrome display with 300 ppi, which is sharp and incredibly responsive compared to other e-ink displays. When it comes to the display, Amazon has made some improvements. Again, will some folks prefer the buttons to the repetitive swiping motion? Maybe The buttons are responsive and work pretty well, but they seem somewhat superfluous. Hitting the top button will turn pages forward, while the bottom one will turns pages backward. On the front, you got two physical buttons for turning pages. The device, however, feels much lighter and thinner than a real book. Some love it some don’t like it-it’s personal preference. The aluminum back features wedge-shaped grip design, which, according to Amazon, makes it easier to hold the device. For one, this Kindle feels a bit clunkier than the previous Kindles. ![]() The Kindle Oasis is a simple and elegant e-reader but the design comes with a few gripes, of course. I don’t understand why and have never received a satisfactory explanation. This is an ongoing yet mystifying issue where functionality is limited for Canadian customers. (That’s a feature that’s available on the other readers too, however.) Yet in a significant disappointment, it appears Audible is not available on this device in Canada. You can also supposedly access Audible audio books on the device too. Just head to the Store tab and search or surf for what you want. Fortunately you can buy the books right on device. To get much use from the Oasis, you need to buy books from Amazon. Get books and audio books from Amazon and Audible, but not really Its cheaper sibling, the Kindle Paperwhite (read that review here), which has a 6-inch screen, starts at $130, and is perfectly adequate for most people. It is also waterproof.įor some, the Kindle Oasis may seem like overkill. It’s got a high-res 7-inch monochrome display with adaptable brightness feature that adjusts the screen’s color tone depending on your ambient light conditions for what Kindle says is a better reading experience and reduced eye strain. The new Kindle Oasis still has its signature design with a wide aluminum body with a bump out on the back. So what’s new? The new Kindle Oasis is slightly refreshed. ![]() Supported formats: Kindle (AZW/AZW3), PDF, TXT, MOBI, PRC, Audible (AAX).Battery life: up to 6 weeks reading 30 min/day.Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, micro USB, optional 4G.Display: 7-inch e-ink display (300ppi) with colour adjustable frontlight. ![]()
