> 3 dayI’ve been using paperwhite 3 for almost 5years I think, compared to that, I’m so satisfied for this one. It’s much more quicker, comfortable and convenient. The good thing is I bought it on Black Friday, even better!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWell, 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.

> 3 dayCompared to other Kindles, the battery on this has to be charged much more often and becomes annoying when you are reading a good book!

08-06-2025I had an old kindle basic before I decided to get this one, and I love the shape, the brightness and temperature features, however, the battery life doesnt even compare. While the basic lasted for weeks, I have to charge this one every 2-3 days even when the brightness is completely down to 0. It is overall a great product if you enjoy reading anywhere, just be aware you probably need to carry a charger.

> 3 dayThe battery life is appalling, not sure if it is just this kindle but having to recharge about every 3-4 days

> 3 dayI moved up to Oasis from a Paperwhite Mk7. There are improvements in lighting, weight and total quality. Battery life is somewhat shorter.

> 3 dayI agree with many of the negative reviews you read here. The 2 major flaws are the slippery aluminum back and just the fact that this isn’t 2.5 times better than a PaperWhite. The bigger screen and the adjustable temperature are great. Also love that you can flip it and the screen adjusts. But 270 dollars?? Come on Amazon. I thought that your pricing was supposed to be pro-consumer but this is a rip-off. I’d be surprised if this cost more than 60 dollars to manufacture. Give us a break!!!
