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

Excelente producto, super liviano y practico para estudiar.

Well, Ive let the cat out of the bag -- the Oasis often flips the page when I dont want it to do so. Just shifting my finger a little on the bezel will often flip the page. This is a nuissance. I have not found a setting to reduce the sensitivity of the screen or turn the touch screen off ... because, well, you dont really need the touch screen because the two forward and back buttons work beautifully. I have increased text size a little and its a joy to read. It feels lighter than my old kindle touch thats not holding a charge very well any more. Actually, the Oasis runs the battery down pretty fast, too, I have just disabled the bluetooth and hopefully that will improve things. I have a wooden stand for my kindle(s) and the design of the Oasis with one fat edge and one thin edge makes it lop-sided when I have it on the stand to read while having breakfast. Questionable design choice. Ive had the Kindle Oasis for some months now, and I must report that the battery life is truly dreadful, even with the backlight turned off and the kindle not in use for a few days the battery low warning comes up if I forgot to turn airplane mode on - in other words the wifi sucks it dry very very quickly. I have struck other problems lately. Sometimes it just gets stuck on a page. Buttons dont work, touch screen doesnt work. Fortunately powering it down and back up resolves this, for the time being, otherwise Id have a very expensive piece of technologic trash on my hands - but it truly isnt a good look. I have revised my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.

First device Ive used that disappears into the background and puts the words on the page first. Super quality build, super thoughtful features. The device is handed, the ridge makes it very comfortable to hold in your right hand with your fingers naturally falling (well for someone with my sized hand at least, YMMV (Your Mitts May Vary). But dont worry, if you turn it upside down it, now it fits perfectly in your left hand. The slick bit is the screen flips more or less instantly and the buttons switch functions. The screen is crystal clear and you can adjust the light strength and colour to your hearts content, I really like the ability to set a schedule that adjusts the brightness and colour. All in all, this critter is pricey compared to other kindles but its worth every penny.

Had this product for four months and it won turn off so that I can reset it. Can’t read during these train times and worse yet Amazon isn’t taking any calls so I can’t get any help

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

Es muy buen producto, pero para ser tan Premium me resulta molesto que tenga un poco más de efecto fantasma (rastro de imágenes o letras de páginas anteriores en nuevas paginas) que por ejemplo en mi caso lo pude comparar con mi otro kindle paperwhite, obvio no afecta en la lectura pero para ser tan costoso debería ser mejor en todo a los anteriores modelos. De resto me parece perfecto en todo lo demás.

First of all, the screen is amazing. Clear and crisp. I love it. Having all the options for the lighting including the softer light, just put me in heaven. The Kindle is the sole reason I can read. Secondly, the audible books are a real plus. Having bluetooth apps, the Kindle can par with almost any bluetooth device. I paired it with my Bose Headset and bluetooth speaker. The only negative for me is the battery life. If you listen to a book, or use the browser, the battery life shoots down very quickly. Having just received my Kindle yesterday, I want to see the battery life if I only read. I am thrilled with this new Kindle. Having small cataracts in my eyes, along with my stigmatism, made reading books so unpleasant. The Kindle changed that immediately. I hope to become an avid reader. Special note, take a look at the covers for the Kindle Oasis 9th and 10th generation. What a gorgeous variety of artistic colors, designs, and natural scenes. Joyce

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.

I think that the device is expensive for the features it come with, but its really comfortable to read for hours. Would be nice if you could use it horizontally and for read manga a maybe a bigger screen with a lower delay between pages(its actually about a second with images).

This 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.
