Greater than one weekNot 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!

> 3 dayUpgraded my kindle paperwhite to oasis a month ago. Love it, was a bit expensive but worth it! It is lightweight, lighting adjustable and else same experience as paperwhite.

> 3 dayThis is my first e-reader, I tried one years ago and it was laggy but when I got the oasis, it is much smoother than I thought

> 3 dayThis kindle oasis froze on a page of a book and there is nothing that I can do to make it work again. I have tried everything: pressing and holding the power button for 40 seconds, charging it for many hours, pressing and holding the power button for 40 seconds again, etc. It seems like it is not a well built product.

> 3 dayIm a long time Kindle user and purchaser. Three years ago I had some spare cash and bought the more flashy 32gb Oasis with whispersync, which was and is pretty pricy. Unfortunately I dropped the poor device in spectacular fashion and the screen cracked. I can still use it but the cracks spread across the bottom of the screen. These days you cant get insurance to cover these devices so I faced a dilemma, do I just buy a Paperwhite, which Ive had and was happy with back in the day or do I splash out again. I had a good think and when Prime Day came up I took the plunge and bought this one with a good discount. I think its an acceptable compromise. I have never needed 32GB of storage but I did use to use the 3G quite a bit in the past. I came to the conclusion that with a bit of discipline I could definitely do with out it as nobody is travelling anywhere at the moment. I also feel happy getting another Oasis because I do love the additional features like the side buttons to turn the pages.

> 3 dayBattery life is terrible. Have had this for just about a year and if I let it sit overnight even after charging all day this thing will be dead in the morning. Have a cheaper older Kindle that I keep I my car and only gets charged when the car is on and I dont have any problems with that one keeping a charge even with it sitting in a car in the cold and heat. I would normally get a case for any hand held device, but even if I didnt want to, this one needs one, it is very slippery to hold without one. This is not to say that I dont like this device, just wish the battery life wasnt an issue.
