    Love the easy on the eyes screen with all the options of viewing the text. Very Easy to use. And very lightweight. The price was right for the product. Easy and quick to get in and out of the store to pick up my online order. Great customer service. Would highly recommend Best buy and the Kindle product to friends and family.

    I have been using my iphonw and a first generation kindle paperwhite for years, but wanted to ipgrade to a better screen. I love that the Kindle Oasis has buttons so thag I don’t have to swipe to change the pages. The navigation is great. It is so much easier to continuously read without pausing because I need to move to readjust to change the page.

    So I waited a bit before making a review. After a month of owning this, I can say that I have a love/hate thing going on. I have the Kindle Paperwhite, which I love, but was looking to upgrade since the Oasis has the warm light. Loves: -I love the fact that you can adjust the warm light because I deal with migraines. I’ve been able to read more with this Oasis than I have in a while. -I also love how it has the buttons. It feels nice to hold and doesn’t feel heavy. Hate: -The battery life on this sucks in comparison to my paper white. -The price is pretty hefty, you’d think you can get the option to remove the ads with no additional cost. Overall, I don’t regret getting the Oasis. It’s been nice to read on it. I just have to be mindful to charge it more often.

    I don’t know a lot about these things. But my wife loves to read and it is hard to find large print books that make it easy for her to do what she loves. This tablet lets you change the size of the font so easy and it makes reading for her easy. The fact it is water resistant is nice because she can relax in the tub and not worry about dropping it while she is in there. Good buy all together.

    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 best thing I bought myself ever

    Probably the greatest thing I’ve ever purchased in my entire life. I read over 52 books a year as my usual New Year’s resolution. Having the page turn buttons is amazing because while you hold the Kindle, you can leave your hand in one position the whole time. I got a remote page Turner from Amazon and a tablet holder for hands-free reading. I can fit more words on the page With the oasis larger screen. You can tell the difference between the oasis and the paper white because the lighting on the oasis is much more even and uniform. It is the more expensive model, but I’m afraid Amazon will discontinue this soon, so I had to scoop one up. I love having a premium reading experience. It makes me love reading so much more.

    Is the Kindle Oasis a good buy or not?

    The Oasis arrived on time and was packaged well with very little chance of damage. I proceeded to set up the Kindle and found it to be a breeze. As for the function, it was as described by the seller. So far, I love it. The text is clearer than my other Kindles. It is light to hold but I will say that it's very slick to grip. I also bought a cover for it as I was aware from other reviews that stated the Oasis was a little slick to hold. The cover added little to the weight. So, I would buy it again. At this point, I would suggest you do the same if you are looking for a good Kindle. If anything changes, I will follow up with an update.

    The bezel is so convenient and the clickers to change the pages especially for reading while laying down. I like the screen size and the matted page look. I wish they had other colors but not that serious.

    Warm Light is Amazing

    I enjoy reading at night, and the reason to why I opted for a Kindle Paperwhite. I ended up purchasing the first generation Kindle Oasis, but the charging cover was annoying even though the overall design was ergonomically better for me. I then switched over to the 9th generation Oasis and was pleased with the redesign, the increased screen size and the new magnetic cover that does not charge. Now the 10th generation became available, same specs as the 9th BUT with Warm Light feature. I new this was a deal breaker because my eyes seemed to become more sore due to strain, but the Warm Light did improve my ability to read at night. The charge holds well, getting weeks off a single charge. I am somewhat disappointed that the 10th generation Oasis will not work with the 9th generation magnetic cover. That was annoying, because I found myself taking it out of the cover to read. I only use the cover to protect my screen when not using it. Overall, the 10th generation Kindle Oasis is a great device. The Warm Light feature is the single most reason why I would choose this device over any other Kindle out there.

    A Real Kindle, lives up to the name of Oasis

    Really good, better than I expected in many ways. The 7’’ screen is way bigger than the 1st gen 6’’, a greater change than it may sound. Still pretty light-weight, the metal feels good, just don’t forget to get a case if you live in areas that can get cold. Warmness control is not seemingly fancy but yep, it’s amazing. Just think about your iPhone’s True Tone display (should you ever used one), then you understand how this feature counts. The only things I’m not satisfied with are the battery life and the connectivity. Somehow, I feel it can’t last as long as my 1st Gen Oasis, even if the old buddy is now over 24 months. Not saying is bad, but it’s still a retreat. Unless you read all day long, however, I guess up to 2 charges a week is good for 95% of us. And, well, come on Amazon!!! It’s 9102 already (2019 actually :) ), a microusb port is just old-fashioned. You can do that don’t ya? I would pay like $15 more for that. Hopefully you can do that on next gen, and I really think you should. Overall, really good in every aspect, as long as you get some spare money and are willing to invest in reading, this is a must-have. ( Mine is 32G Graphite WiFi. $279 is not cheap, but is worth only if you need. Like the brand-new AirPods Pro, it’s built primarily for the Pro users rather than being a budget choice. Have a think about your need before the decision.)
