- Quick Start Guide
Q: What makes the Oasis worth twice as much as the standard Kindle?
A: For me, it was the weight. I wanted it to be as light as possible and easy removal of the case. Taking my Paperwhite out of the case was a pain. The Paperwhite plus the Amazon leather case is $119.99 + $39.99 = $159.98 (full price) and the Oasis is $289.99, which includes the case. For me, the Oasis being lighter and easier to hold was worth the $130. I read enough for me to justify the additional cost for those added conveniences.
A: Brad's answer is correct, but true only for e-books that do not have DRM (digital rights management) software which most publishers insist on in the belief that it will prevent piracy. Most B&N ebooks (and ebooks sold anywhere else) have DRM. Calibre's program can reformat ebooks which can then be read on Kindles, but Calibre does not have software that will remove DRM.
Q: When are the other colors going to be available for preorder?
A: The other two colors are up now.
A: 3G/4G is cell phone service only. WiFi is not cell phone service, it's a different wireless way to access a network or the internet.
Q: Can you read magazines on the kindle oasis ?
A: Yes, you can read magazines on the Kindle Oasis.
A: The Oasis connects to a WiFi router which may connect to the Internet. Or you can connect it to a PC with the included USB cable.
Q: How do I get a list of books to download and the cost? Does this include paperbacks?
A: There is no "list". Shop through Amazon, or go to bookbub.com. Tons of choices available. You can also go to your local library and wirelessly borrow from them.
Q: Can you play audio books on this device?
A: undefined
