Kindle Oasis | Now with adjustable warm light | Waterproof, 8 GB, Wi-Fi | Graphite

So i've debated getting an e-reader for a few years now but wasnt bowled over by my daughter's paperwhite although she loved it. Having a massed a huge amount of paperbacks, i took the plunge but i did want the best out there so i bought the oasis. I absolutely love it! I was usually a bedtime reader but having to balance nightlights and paperbacks i wanted something easier to handle and to cut down on my book collection. This fits the bill perfectly and with the inbuilt amber light it makes reading a dream at night without the use of a bedside light and can even read under the covers. The font size is adjustable and having not got the best eyesight this was a game changer for me and no more strained eyes. Its easy to hold with the step bit at the back and already read 2 books when i would have only usually read about one. I just wish i'd bought this sooner, so if you are debating like i was don't hesitate. Great for the train too when we are allowed to travel again and charge lasts for ages. Easy buttons to turn pages instead of swiping the screen although you have both options. Great bookmark too so you don't lose your place. I couldn't recommend this little gem enough! It also looks great in gold. Love it!UPDATE3 years and 8 months on i am updating my review. The kindle Oasis still remains at 5 stars! I have read hundreds of books since, well in excess of 200 anyway and continuing to enjoy it, mainly at night for night reading, but used around 3 hours at least day/night. I would however recommend that you buy a kindle case that is authentic and will put your kindle to sleep as soon as you close the cover, i made the mistake of not getting one, but i have since and shortly after, purchased the premium leather case and i love it. I would not hesitate to recommend the kindle oasis, beautiful, practical, battery life remains excellent and has enabled me to read far more books having taken stock of my actual books, paper and hardbavk, far too many, that have since been donated to charity.I just wanted to let everyone know that the oasis is built to last, hopefully it'll stay that way. It does cost quite a lot in terms of outlay, but so worth it in my view. I could never have read and enjoyed so many books without it!

I used to have a 1st Gen Oasis but decided to sell it as I needed money at the time and had grown a love for print books over ebooks. Well, that sale failed as Royal Mail lost the parcel, so I never even got the money. Ever since then I've missed having a kindle. I love print books but there's something elegant and addictive about reading on a Kindle. I love the stats they provide (although I'm still hoping for the day I can see my daily reading stats like Audible does for listening).I wasn't sure much had changed between the 1st and whatever generation this one is (3rd I think?) and, not a lot has really... The screen is bigger, the warm light is great and allows for very comfortable viewing at night. The battery is now fully enclosed inside the Kindle and not doubled up inside the case (that's actually one critisim, the 1st gen came with a case... Although I understand this was needed for the battery). The device also seems quicker than I remember the 1st gen being. It also definitely screams the price a lot more than the 1st gen. I don't know if my memory is just failing me, but I don't remember the 1st gen Oasis feeling this premium. The materials used scream quality, reminding of a flagship phone or tablet. For the price of the Oasis, you'd expect no less, and that made me feel more pleasure in my purchase. The price tag is obviously quite expensive for an ereader, but I think it's worth it. If you read for hours at a time like me, you want the best reading experience money can buy, and this is definitely it (although it would be great if the oasis had a inbuilt gadget that sprayed book scents in the air, as that sadly can't be replaced by ebooks).I've already used my Oasis for around 15 hours and I've had it just over 24. You can thank the superb book I'm reading for that. The battery has gone down 60% in that time. Not so impressive, but I do have WiFi and location services turned on (although Bluetooth is off for now)... The battery won't bother me until I take this on a camping trip or something of that sort, although I'm almost certain aeroplane mode will provide the battery boost I need - I remember it making a huge difference on previous models of Kindle.This is the best Kindle money can buy. The only downside is the battery - I remember the older first generation Kindle Paperwhites having better batteries, but I definitely didn't read as much back then, so maybe that's why it seemed that way. The Oasis is very thin, so the battery is passable. The battery should last for around 30 hours of reading (based on WiFi & location on like me), which is plenty really - plus more on aeroplane mode.Overall, the battery isn't a big issue for me as everything else definitely outweighs that! I'm just happy I managed to spare 5 minutes away from my book to write this! Better get back to it! 😜
