Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Kindle Oasis is a great e-Reader. I recommend it unconditionally, but with one caveat. It is designed to be held in your hand in a particular way. Whether you like holding it that way, or whether you like the way a Kindle Paperwhite is held, is a matter of personal preference. My wife and son like the Oasis better. I like the way I can hold the latest Paperwhite better. Considering the price difference between the two and the feature improvements in the latest Paperwhite, it may be worthwhile going to the store and actually holding both types of Kindles before choosing. The type of reading you plan to do may impact the amount of storage you choose to get. The smaller amount will be ample for most readers. Someone planning to store a lot of graphic material such as graphic novels, and perhaps someone planning to store a lot of audible material, however, might want to assess their needs before making a decision. The reading experience is great and comes as close to reading a paper book as I have found. Battery life is great, visibility excellent indoors or out, the backlight makes reading in bed great, and the water resistance means you can take it places you could not risk in the past. I love having my Kindle on long flights.

I got this for my girlfriend and she loved it. I'm not a big reader but man... If I had to go one route, it would be this one. I have big hands so the grip in the back helps a lot. If you have the cash and are an avid reader than I HIGHLY recommend this kindle. You will not be disappointed. The only reason the Kindle Paperweight is the better seller is because of the major price difference but like I said if you want to splurge and read a lot... then this should be your choice. BAM! I'm out.

Oh , I love it . Silky smoothe , on paper , adaptible to room light and 7' screen . Don't know if it's worth $250 ( kind of dependent ) but with some throw away or trade in definitely worth another $150 even if you have a nice 6 incher . I sure like it .

This is the absolute best e-reader you can buy, imo. It is light, easy to use one-handed, durable, waterproof, with a great display. However, it is insanely expensive for something only meant to display text. If you have money to blow, get one. If not, just read in the Kindle app on your phone or tablet with the blue-light filter enabled.

I have 3 kindles till now, this one is the best, the screen is bigger and not heavy, the power can hold on for almost one week. just paid unlimited kindle reader. I bought a cover for it, only cover the back of it, feel much better and safer.

Great for reading it can be on the sun and it looks good and clean . The touch screen is a little laggy but its tricky at the beginning

Finally the perfect Kindle. It's light-weight, very sharp resolution, waterproof, and comes with a 7-inch screen which is awesome. Completely worth the price if you're a heavy e-reader.

I had one of the older kindles with a keyboard and find this screen so much sharper. Like the automatic brightness more than I anticipated. Battery life isn’t quite as advertised but still excellent.

This is my third kindle and certainly my favorite! It’s lightweight, easy to hold. The screen is large and anti-glare. Very easy to read from - almost as good as holding a book!

Nearly flawless. Occasional light ghosting, but no more than any other e-reader. The perfectly designed page turn buttons and excellent backlighting make it worth the price of admission.

This kindle blows my mind. Its light and compact which is wonderful for my diaper bag. I can use it in bright light and in bed at night. Well worth the price.

Really comfortable to hold, 7-inch screen looks fantastic and offers some features that could be useful. If you use audible or like to read near water (poolside or in a bath) then this would be the e-reader to go with. If not, then I would just stick with the Voyage (if you're a hardcore reader) or a Paperwhite for casual readers.

This is not the first Kindle I owe. I was looking forward to this newer design with water proofing and one side hand holding. Well, it is OK. It is actually quite uncomfortable for me - it just keeps slipping from my fingers, especially when you try to push those button for the next page. Ugh. I guess I am clumsy. This model does not have blue light elimination yet, so this is a minus. Other functionality good and as advertised. Try to see if this si something you like. I think I am going to my iPad and Kindle app.

This is my 3rd kindle and it’s tge best. Easy to hold and very light weight. The buttons to turn pages are an added plus

I wanted a Kindle because I was tired of draining my phones battery using the Kindle app on my phone. I did some research and found that this version had just been released. It's easy to use, the touch screen works well, and Audible option is perfect. My only wish is that I'd had gone for the cellular activity, but it was another $30 and I wasn't sure it would be worth it. For me, I'm always carpooling or trying to find books for lunch at work, but I have to find Wi-Fi to do that. Spend the extra money!

Works as i expected - nice big and clear screen - simple to page and light. Happy with the purchase...

This is my favorite kindle reader by far. We built a new house and my bookshelves did not go in it very well so I put my books in the attic and decided to get a new kindle to use for reading. The light isn't overly bright, I never get a headache, battery life is great. I love this kindle!!

I had a kobo aura hd before switching to the Kindle oasis. The kindle is quite better (better design, better screen, faster) and I love it but you will have to use a software like Calibre if you want to send non-amazon ebooks. Furthermore that reader won’t show you the book cover when in stand-by mode even if you pay the fees to get rid of the adds. To summarize: I love it but I’m a little bit frustrated that it can’t do as much as the competition. Perfect for amazon customers.

Best kindle yet. Easy to use and lightweight!!! Great screen display and now waterproof!

Best reader, super light a very fast reader but pricy.
