Amazon Kindle Oasis review: First class reader, first class price

The Amazon Kindle has been fairly predictable over the past few years, walking a path from button-laden ebook reader at its 2007 launch , all the way through to the ultra-refined and ultra-simple Paperwhite and Voyage generation. The Kindle exists for one reason and that's to read books.
Pros:
  • Light weight design
  • fast page turns
  • great battery cover
  • lovely even lighting
  • premium feel
Cons:
  • Price
  • no adaptive front light

Kindle Oasis

The Kindle Oasis is the most luxurious, high-end e-reader ever made by Amazon. It's ridiculously thin, weighs very little and is a pleasure to use. In addition, it's supplied with a clever leather case into which the device slots, which not only provides protection for your e-reader, but also an...
Pros:
  • Included leather case is great
  • Fantastic display
  • Gorgeous looks
Cons:
  • That price..
  • No adaptive front light

Amazon Kindle Oasis

Reading on the Oasis is sublime. Simply tap the right or left side of the screen to turn pages, as you would on any other touch-screen Kindle. You can also use the physical Page Turn buttons on the side, which I found to be perfectly situated beneath my thumb.
Pros:
  • Sharp, bright screen
  • Long battery life extended by leather charging cover
  • Ergonomic design
  • Built-in accelerometer
  • Vast ebook store
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Not waterproof
  • Cover doesn't protect entire reader

Amazon Kindle Oasis review

Amazon's Kindle range hasn't seen an innovation like the Oasis since 2014, when the Kindle Voyage appeared. Ever since the original Amazon Kindle hit the virtual shelves back in November 2007 the company has managed to refine the design with each passing generation, nipping here and tucking there to...

I love the thing!

A great pick up, although I'm starting to notice slight ink burn as I'm moving from one page to the next. I've had the device for about three weeks now and I've charged it once. Honestly I could've went with the mid-tiered kindle but either way I'm happy with this purchase.

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

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

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.

Tech Guide got its hands on the Kindle Oasis and we were surprised at how small it is. It's just 3.4mm at its thinnest point and is lighter than a smartphone at just 131g. But that wasn't the surprising part.
