    Nothing different other than the warm light addition. But it is worth it, so much better experience. If you have sensitive or dry eyes, definitely consider.

    Kindle Oasis crapped out two days after the warranty expired. Just done. No compensation by Amazon for the crap product that was sold for a huge price. If you purchase, buy extended warranty. Reviews did state this problem for a few, wish I heeded the warnings.

    Muy buena inversión. Puedo llevar todos mis libros a todas partes. La batería dura mucho y se puede leer por mucho tiempo sin cansancio. Es el segundo que tengo y lo sigo recomendando.

    As a product claiming itself international version and charge us 20US dollars more, I would expect a product with some common sense in it. I am living in Hong Kong and we are using English and Traditional Chinese as our official language. Yet, the kindle store is forced to simplified Chinese store, which we do not read and write here. What will Dutch people think if they are forced to German store? What will German people think if they are forced to a French store? Hey, at least give us an easy way to switch to a language we understand, or do it properly without using the wrong language store, right? Yes, if I can get to the Internet and remember my password of Amazon account, I can switch it to the profile of my amazon account, to avoid the wrong store (simplified Chinese). But as a former British Colony, we speak and write English (UK) instead of English (US), thats why I chose the UK English. But if we made that choice, the Traditional Chinese input method is then unavailable, without a clue. Until I am forced to switch to English (US), I can find those input methods of Traditional Chinese, which is ridiculous. As a product costing nearly 300 US dollars, with a lot of Traditional Chinese books on store, with the population of 23 Millions in Taiwan and 7.5 Millions in Hong Kong, I cant understand why Amazon is still unable to provide a Traditional Chinese interface, instead of the simplified Chinese interface. It is rather sad the Quick input method of Traditional Chinese is still unavailable as well, which is said can be done easily by rooting the device, but voiding the warranty, so I havent tried. As a company with such a scale, would you just improve it?

    Please note that this is my first e-book so comparing to others is not my specialty. I will --Pro-- First of all, its great on its own. Comfortable to hold since its light, especially, page turn button is really a game-changer here. Whats great about it is the feeling when you dont have to poke your finger into your screen and make your reading more flawless. For me, this feels better than I thought at first. Buttons dont give any uncomfortable feeling both texture while grasping or sound while clicking. For those who love using dark mode. This feature will not disappoint you. Its also come with warm light and auto-adjust brightness feature. --Con-- Price, of course. It hikes from the paperwhite version dramatically. Depend on your budget. If youre really destitute, go with the paperwhite version. But if not, regarding my experience so far, the oasis version is worth spending. (Also get a larger screen, which for me, significantly improve my satisfaction. Battery 1) It uses quite a lot when wifi is open (airplane mode off), comparing to normal uses which last fine for 1-2 weeks (2 hours a day without turning the screen off and use screen saver while my case cover it instead) 2) When the battery is low it could be frozen. You can google it for more information. I yet know how low it needs to take to make it freeze since it lasts too long. Charger Only micro usb cable included in the package. YES! NO USB-C!! It takes around 3 hours to fully charge.

    Not impressed. When paying US$260 for an e-reader, I did have some expectations. I wish the wider screen and orientation sensor would justify the higher price. I hope it would be a big step up from the cheaper kindles out there. However, as an avid fan of comic books, my reading experience with the Oasis has been a huge disappointment. The kindle version of comic books does not take advantage of the generous screen size, and the so called orientation sensor simply isnt available in kindle comic books. You can only read the strips with the default portrait mode. That means you still end up with small pictures and texts, because the files are basically pdfs, so you do need to pinch and zoom for larger pictures, which results in headache inducing lagging. How about reading of normal books? Well, the screen does look significantly better than my Samsung smartphone. Yay, no more eye strain. The aluminium body is light and thin, though a little slippery to hold in my opinion. My main problem with the device is that the user experience isnt particularly impressive. I expected buttery smoothness in operation and simplicity of steps to get what you want). If you want to change orientation, the so called auto sensor only stick to ONE orientation. It will only turn 180°, meaning it stays portrait if you turn it around upside down. Wanna change to landscape mode? Pls press multiple buttons to get there. I still wonder why Amazon still wont let users access their screenshots with the Kindle itself. Who would connect the device with a computer just to get to the root file folder! Come on! Amazon! Make your Kindle smarter!
