Kindle Oasis review: The best e-reader by far (it's also the most expensive)
The base model of Amazon's latest and best e-reader, the Kindle Oasis with Wi-Fi, costs $290. The Oasis version I tested, which supplements its Wi-Fi adapter with a 3G connection (so you can download e-books while on the go) and that doesn't present you with "special offers" (Amazon's euphemism for...

Amazon's New Kindle Oasis: The Gizmodo Hands On
Just after 11 am on Saturday morning, I became the proud parent of my very first Tamagotchi, freshly hatched from its virtual egg. By yesterday afternoon it was dead; its passing a poignant reminder that the gadgets we adored as kids aren't always as awesome 20 years later when we're grownups.

Unhappy
The non-glare screen, size and weight were wonderful. However, the display is in shades of grey (no colour) which was disappointing. The browser is terrible but, then, why would it be anything else when it's in shades of grey.

Paper books have a charm that their digital equivalents have never quite managed to match. As book collectors will no doubt tell you, an ebook reader cannot replicate the fresh smell of a new book, or recreate the feel of high quality paper.
Pros:
- Really light
- Excellent battery life
- Great screen
- Nice case
- Doesn't offer enough additional features to justify its price
Cons:
- Really light
- Excellent battery life
- Great screen
- Nice case
- Doesn't offer enough additional features to justify its price

Amazon Kindle Oasis Review: An Expensive One-Trick Pony
While it's a solid e-reader, as all Kindles are, the $289 price for the Oasis left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. It does offer a super-bright backlight on an anti-glare screen, which complements the company's best-in-class content and great parental controls.
Pros:
- Even and bright light
- Best-in-class content selection
- Unique design with physical buttons
- Intuitive interface
Cons:
- Expensive
- Browser still awful

Kindle Oasis review: is it better than a book?
The Kindle Oasis is a wonderful ereader and is a pleasure to use. Its asymmetrical design is the biggest jump forward for any Kindle yet. But that doesn't make it worth £270. The Kindle Paperwhite costs less than half that and is still an excellent ereader with a great screen.
Pros:
- Screen works well in all light conditions
- excellent design
- great selection of ebooks in Kindle Store
Cons:
- expensive
- cover slightly ruins the e-reader's balance
- not waterproof

With its sublime design, bright screen, and innovative battery cover, the Oasis is the best e-book reader we've used to date, but the price is awfully high for incremental improvements-and Special Offers still lurk.
Pros:
- Comfortable form factor
- with excellent physical page-turn buttons
- Bright
- sharp display
- Mature software and excellent ecosystem
- between Amazon's store and other supported formats
Cons:
- Flat-out expensive
- Still saddled with Kindle Special Offers
- which cost $20 to remove
- No support for audiobook playback

The Kindle Oasis is our favourite Kindle model so far, despite the lack of adaptive brightness. That slim and light build, along with the battery-packing cover, make this the most desirable eReader we've ever clutched. Unfortunately you'll have to dig deep if you want one.
Pros:
- Slim
- smart design
- Rammed with features
- Great display
- Leather cover with extra battery
