Amazon - Kindle Oasis E-Reader (2019) - 7" - 32GB - 2019 - Champagne Gold

I have been reading on iPads for a long time and I love the True Tone and warm light settings that are on my iPad Pro now for reading, so when I saw the new oasis was going to have this feature, I knew I wanted it but it was hard for me to spend the money for this when I had my $1000.00 iPad. I actually preordered and canceled the new oasis several times (I was afraid Best Buy was going to ban me...lol) before finally settling on purchasing it. Well, let me tell you, I am so glad I did! This new oasis screen is awesome and I feel like I am reading a physical book. There is a huge difference between the paperwhite, which I purchased at amazon on prime day but returned it, and this new oasis in terms of lighting. The warm light setting really is much easier on the eyes for evening/nighttime reading. I am even leaving it on a little through the day. I love ALL the features the oasis offers. It truly does offer a much better reading experience. I am a very avid reader, so I feel like, for me, the cost of this device was well worth it! I have small hands and it is a little more awkward for me to hold, but I am making it work! The light shines evenly across the screen, there is no shadowing, and battery life seems to be good so far. For me, having both the iPad Pro and oasis is beneficial. Any books that has links or color pages is better on the iPad. For example, I love reading my study Bible on my iPad because of the links and the illustrations, so for me, having both devices is well worth the money spent. I know a lot of people are unhappy because it wasn’t a huge upgrade from the oasis 2, but I think it is a major upgrade because the screen is so amazing with the new lighting. I am very happy with my purchase!

The Oasis is the top of the line in the Kindle line. It boasts such features adjusting font size, tabs feature to scroll or using buttons, switching the oasis to right to left hand friendly, adjusting background to soft yellow (newspaper version) so as to eliminate total eye strain, and many other more reader friendly devises to apply other Kindle Oasis activiities. The Oasis, dollar for dollar is the best value around for us regular readers. I highly recommend purchasing a cover in order to protect your investment.

As an owner of both a Paperwhite and an Oasis, I can say that I love both. The slightly bigger screen, premium metal feel, and color temperature settings may not justify the extra cost to many, but as an avid reader, I knew I’d get many many hours of use out of it.

MY WIFE IS PRETTY MUCH BED RIDDEN. SHE DOES NOT READ PAPER BOOKS BECAUSE THE PRINT SIZE IS NOT TO HER LIKING. THE KINDLE READER TAKES CARE OF THIS.

It doesn't have the shadows around the edges like my paperwhite did, it holds all my books, and it auto adjusts for the room. I am thrilled with this reader!

I love this eReader. The quality is extremely premium and feels exceptionally comfortable when held in the hand. It feels so nice that I ended up getting a sleeve to protect it in instead of a cover that attaches to it. I find the format just right and have been able to read PDF manuals I own as well as comics. To this point, I'm glad I went with the 32 gig version to store my additional content. To top off the cake, it is so light and portable, it never leaves my side.

I had the earlier Kindle Oasis and I loved it but needed an Upgrade. This newer one (2019) is SO Much improved from my other one! It holds thousands of books, has a front light and light option for nighttime which is amber and won’t affect my sleeping patterns like before. And the front light gets SO Much brighter than my old light did. I can read so much more easily than with my old model. Also this one is water-resistant too! You can read in the tub or even in a pool floaty! It’s a great size like my old one but is so lightweight and comfortable for me to hold. I can even read in the bright sun with no glare! Is this expensive? My answer is that it’s worth every penny for me! I love it!

I chose the Oasis for the form because I never liked holding a tablet or reader with a narrower bezel. My only beef with the design is that it is a little slippery (without using a sleeve or cover), and because the power button on the top is directly opposite the power jack on the bottom sometimes I inadvertently turn it off or on when plugging in the power cord. You'll know what I mean if you buy this. The e-ink display is fantastic, but the auto-brightness shows a distinct effect on the display in lower light that appears as a slow flicker. It eventually settles down, or maybe my eyes adjust to it - don't know. I use the warm setting exclusively because it looks closest to paperback pages, and couples with the anti glare screen it's easiest on my eyes. The battery lasts quite a while. The first 5-10% seems to go quickly but it takes forever to get down to even 75% - like a week at least. There is very little setup to do when you get it and adding books from an external source (like a computer) is simple. Just attach it using the USB cable and the Kindle is seen as a storage drive where you can drag and drop your files into the appropriate folder. Not all popular formats are compatible. I'll get another if I lose this one!
