Amazon Kindle Oasis (2019) 8GB Wi-Fi - Graphite, B
Free delivery
originally posted on bestbuy.com
I've had the Oasis for a little over a year now. It definetly does what the paperwhite does, but better regarding the screen and eye strain. It does seem like the battery doesn't last quite as long, but I can't really give any definitive numbers - it just feels a little shorter. The form factor is going to be a love it or hate it situation - I personally like it. My only wish for this device is that it could fit into my pocket a little easier like my old paperwhite did. Is the price worth it? It depends. A Honda Civic will get you to the grocery store all the same as a Corvette - the 'luxury' features of the device are nice, but in no way needed, so it's really up to you and your finances.

Love it. Many have complained about battery life but I actually don’t mind it. I do most of my browsing on my phone or computer and the device is specifically for reading. So far it’s lasted me about a week with heavy usage (like reading more than 10 chapters on high brightness and warmth). I love the page turn buttons and the ability to disable the touchscreen so I can hold it better without touching to turn on accident. Was going to go for the paper white but glad I chose the Oasis. Hopefully Amazon upgrades it and I can trade in. I love physical books but hate storing them because I never have space nor do I ever rarely re-read some books. This device is a game changer and makes more excited to read more books.

I have had a Kindle for years i upgraded whenever i could. I got my whole family hooked and even went to kindles for online use. My Mama loved hers until the day she died. I love to read and with kindle unlimited I have gotten to read and love a variety of books I never would have known. The newest has come a long way from my first one. It is light great to read from and text can be enlarged which helps my eyes as i have grown up as well and need a little extra help. It turns great and in its cover really feels like a book.

The Oasis pluses: Excellent build quality, Amazon Kindle store, screen size, ergonomic design, and the page buttons. Really good reading experience. The warm light feature is another plus. Negatives: mediocre battery life (disappointing), there shouldn't be ads at this price point, and still has the old USB plug. I had to pay to remove the ads to get a better battery life, as it kept downloading ads and draining the battery. I'd recommend it if you are okay with its negatives, however, you'll enjoy the reading experience.
Cutting right to the chase: the adjustable color temperature screen is the greatest advance in Kindles since self-illuminating screens were introduced on the first Paperwhite… period, full-stop. And, at least for this reader, there’s no going back after trying it out. It’s that good, and that much of a game changer.With both warmth and brightness (they have separate controls) turned up to about the midway point, reading on a Kindle transitioned for the first time from merely reading words, to the experience of reading words on a paper page in a book. This might sound like “Who cares?” nonsense to most people, but if you’re in that small minority of the public buying a high-end Kindle, you understand what I mean, and it’s that kind of difference that you’re paying ... MoreCutting right to the chase: the adjustable color temperature screen is the greatest advance in Kindles since self-illuminating screens were introduced on the first Paperwhite… period, full-stop.

On existing Kindles, I could never find quite the right light level. If it was as bright as I wanted it to be, that felt too harsh on my eyes. But bringing brightness down to a level that felt comfortable seemed too dim. Now, by simply increasing the lighting warmth on the new Oasis, you can have brighter light with no harshness in a dark room, making reading much easier on the eyes.Finally, I’m happy to say that Amazon seems to have (finally!) nailed the quality control issues that have plagued new Kindle lighting systems in the past: No splotches. No dark spots. No shadows. No weird color casts. Just smooth, even, beautiful lighting across the screen.So, is this the perfect Kindle for me? No. The perfect Kindle would be this new 7” screen in a Voyager form factor. The ergonomics of the Oasis are still not great for me, although my satisfaction with the new screen appears to make the annoyances matter less. The 2019 Oasis is not only a keeper for me, but I’m actually trading in both my Voyager and original Oasis.
My wife is an avid reader and even though she loves to hold an actual book in her hands, she was an early adopter of the Kindle. She has had her original for a LONG time and since she was constantly complaining about the download speeds, I convinced her it was time to upgrade. She decided on the Oasis and she is very happy with it. It is lightweight and a very solid device. It is also very easy to read in all lighting conditions. It may be a little bit more expensive than some other models, but it is worth it.
I had high hopes for this Kindle for reading books and other documents. After having HD screens on my smartphones and tablets, I couldn't get used to black and white book covers and other graphics. I really wanted to like this device, because the size and aspect ratio was just right. Unfortunately, I had an extensive collection of Google Play Books that are DRM protected, and there was just no way to read those books on the Kindle. Although I could convert the books to EPUB so they could work on the Kindle, the conversion did not address the DRM protection. When I first started reading ebooks on Android tablets, the tablets were 7 to 8 inches in size with a 4:3 aspect ratio, just right for ebooks. Now they are so big for watching movies, that they are unwieldly for ... MoreI had high hopes for this Kindle for reading books and other documents.

When I first started reading ebooks on Android tablets, the tablets were 7 to 8 inches in size with a 4:3 aspect ratio, just right for ebooks. Now they are so big for watching movies, that they are unwieldly for books. So I really wanted to like the Kindle Oasis because it was the size of the first Android tablet that I owned. I just couldn't see buying all the ebooks over again that I already owned just so they could be on the Kindle. Another thing that was weird is that if you have a number of Word and PDF documents, you have to send the documents one at a time to the Kindle's special email address. You cannot plug the Kindle to your computer and batch download your files to it. They won't show up to be read that way. So I ended up returning the Kindle.
Recently switched my kindle for the newer oasis. First impressions are good.I'd the dynamic warm light setting for me is the best change, I often read in bed before I sleep and the effect on my eyes is obvious.The bigger screen is a solid improvement along with the better resolution.Can't comment on the battery life as its not been long enough for a fair review.If you're really into your reading, kindles are the way to go. The variety of E books is huge and having everything so easily accessible is brilliant.Shay.
Coming from the last Oasis, I was quite bummed when I bought one for my girlfriend and she had the warm-light feature which is standard on this latest model. It is a night and day difference for night reading! In fact, I traded in my old one and got a new model for myself just so I didn't have to lie in bed jealous. I've always liked the way this one felt in your hands - with the ergonomic side grip and buttons. It's just practical, and makes reading more enjoyable. I recommend the Kindle Oasis to any avid reader!
Overall I really enjoy this e-reader. The physical buttons are very nice to still have. I love physical books, but you seriously can't beat being able to carry around a few chick lit novels with you on vacation. I ordered a very cute case with a stand from another retailer and now I'm rockin'. I went with this version because of the physical buttons. No accidental turning like I did with my paperwhite.This is definitely a luxury not a necessity but it's nice to have.Negatives: Expensive for what it is (honestly). Lack of USB -C charging port. Hopefully the next version they update!
