International Version – Kindle Oasis – Now with adjustable warm light - 8 GB, Graphite

I like it, just got it so need some time to adjust.

Excelente

Upgraded 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.

I bought this after I lost my Kindle Voyage. Its a great little device and Im pleased with it. However I cant say that its significantly better than the Voyage that it replaced, which may be why Amazon stopped selling the Voyage. In fact the Voyage had page turning buttons on both sides, which was a bit more convenient. On the other hand, this has different kinds of lighting, which is a nice touch, and is a bit smaller. Its a great device but not worth the price of upgrading if you have a Voyage already (unless of course you desperately want to read in the bathtub). NOTE: THEY RECENTLY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE for this device. BAD MOVE! I see no improvements whatsoever, while meanwhile I can no longer corral all my books into their categories -- no matter what I do, some books still show up floating around outside the little boxes where they should be stored. At the same time, it now displays ads for books even though I specifically paid extra for the version that didnt have ads. This improvement is a significant downgrade - much more difficult to use with no additional features that are useful to the consumer. I cant understand why companies do this. No, Im sorry, I can. Amazon employs programmers who have to do something to prove that theyre useful, otherwise theyll lose their jobs. So they take perfectly good software and tinker with it just so that they can be seen to be doing something. It gets me upset. After this so-called upgrade, Id downgrade my review to a 3-star if I could.

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!

Ive had several paperwhites so Im experienced with ereaders. The Oasis has terrible battery life. When I returned it the customer service person neglected to inform me my new $250 Oasis would be replaced with a used/refurbished one. The refurbished one has the same terrible battery life. This is a common problem with this ereader. I wish I had never spent the money on this as Im now stuck with a defective device. The battery life loses power quickly and doesnt last more than a day. My 5 year old iPad Air lasts longer than this does. In addition its impossible to hold in one hand and uncomfortable to read at night while going to sleep.

Excelente producto, la mejor compra que en años haya hecho.

Muy útil, práctico y agradable a los ojos.

Great! The first kindle I owned was a paperwhite, However, I quickly replaced it by a basic kindle, since the blue light of the paperwhite bothered my sleep tremendously (this also happens to me with every device I own and use before going to sleep). I purchased this new kindle oasis hoping that the new lighting features didnt cause this issue, and after two weeks of use, I can say it is the perfect companion for my pre-sleep readings. Additionally, (but less important to me) the device is way faster than my two previous versions. The waterproof is nice to have, since I can safely read in the pool, and also, the buttons are great addition and very practical. Overall, Im very happy with this purchase! Nicely done Amazon.

I can never go back to a paperwhite having now used the Oasis. I also noticed that in the month since I have owned this kindle, I have read twice as many books as I averaged in previous months, and to me that is the bottom line with this product: it’s way more responsive, it’s more comfortable to read with, the battery life is better and recharges insanely fast... to quote Ferris Bueler, if you have the means, I highly recommend it.
