The Kindle Oasis is the best, and sexiest, ebook reader that money can buy – Period.

Super slim and beautiful screen; Wide selection of books; Includes leather battery cover; Excellent page-turn buttons; 2-month battery life

Expensive for an ebook reader; You must buy your books from Amazon; It's still 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.

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

Flat-out expensive; Still saddled with Kindle Special Offers; which cost $20 to remove; No support for audiobook playback

The Kindle Oasis has a revolutionary design, but is that enough to warrant the luxury price?

Unique and beautiful design; Included case with second battery; Lighter and more compact than any other e-reader

Not a big performance update compared to previous versions; Battery life may not be as impressive as claimed; Device weight becomes average when case attached

The Kindle has been with us for more than eight years now (it made its debut in late 2007 – the year which also saw the world get a first glimpse of a phone from a certain company in Cupertino) – and in that time has carved a niche for itself as being without doubt the best option for anyone who...

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.

Every couple of years Amazon introduces a new Kindle e-ink e-reader that's smaller, lighter and faster. But with the arrival of the Kindle Oasis, Amazon's thinnest and lightest e-reader ever, the e-book pioneer needs to add a new adjective to the list: pricier.

The Kindle Oasis is the lightest Kindle yet at 4.6 ounces and is 3.4 mm at its thinnest point; A slim leather battery case is included and adheres magnetically to the device, bumping battery life up to a 9 weeks without WiFi on.

It's pricey; isn't any zippier than the Voyage or Paperwhite; and isn't waterproof

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.

Even and bright light; Best-in-class content selection; Unique design with physical buttons; Intuitive interface

Expensive; Browser still awful

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.

Screen works well in all light conditions; excellent design; great selection of ebooks in Kindle Store

expensive; cover slightly ruins the e-reader's balance; not waterproof

Amazon is back with an all new Kindle which is dubbed as Oasis. The eighth generation Kindle was launched in India earlier this month for a hefty price of Rs. 23,999 for the WiFi variant and Rs. 27,999 for the WiFi and 3G variant .

Brilliant build and design; Leather cover with built-in battery; Great 300 ppi display with 60% more LEDs; Physical buttons and auto rotation

Overpriced; Not waterproof; Less improved software features

If you've got the Cash Money, this e-reader is the best you can buy. We can't knock its hustle.

Fabulous lightweight design; Pristine screen; Easy-to-use software

Really; really expensive; No adaptive lighting
