Kindle Oasis review: The best e-reader is not worth the price of a high-end tablet
The Kindle Oasis has a revolutionary design, but is that enough to warrant the luxury price?
Pros:
- Unique and beautiful design
- Included case with second battery
- Lighter and more compact than any other e-reader
Cons:
- 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...

Amazon Kindle Oasis Review – An embarrassment of riches
Amazon is out of its mind, and yet for some reason I'm considering opening my wallet and spending hundreds of dollars on a Kindle Oasis . The company's new flagship ereader wows first with design, then with sticker-shock: closest yet in Amazon's quest to dethrone paper with its digital replacement,...

Amazon's beautiful, functional, impractical Kindle Oasis reviewed
Amazon's Kindle has gone through roughly two different design phases. The first began with the original Kindle in 2007 and ended, roughly, with the Kindle DX and Kindle Keyboard in 2010 and 2011.
Pros:
- Slimmer
- sleeker
- and altogether more usable design pushes the Kindle lineup forward
- Redesigned body and physical buttons make it incredibly comfortable for one-handed use
- Ten-LED frontlight is nice and even
- Included battery case looks nice and extends the runtime to eight weeks
- Amazon's e-book...
Cons:
- Shorter battery life when separated from its case
- No ambient light sensor
- which is strange since this is a feature on the cheaper Kindle Voyage
- The asking price is steep
- and the Paperwhite is going to make the most sense for most buyers

Kindle Oasis, the e-reader you have to have even when you don't
There's no good reason to hand over $449 for an Oasis when you can spend just $294 for the perfectly adequate Kindle Voyager, even if the Oasis is thinner, lighter and altogether more appealing than the Voyager.
Cons:
- No water resistance
- Expensive

Kindle Oasis REVIEW- Oh dear, how will I ever return to the Kindle Paperwhite
I'm a huge fan of my Kindle Paperwhite . I bought it about a year ago and have cruised through dozens of books, reading night and day. It has, until the moment I set my hands on the Kindle Oasis, filled my every need for an eReader.

Let me begin with a question to existing Kindle owners. Have you, ever since you have bought your Kindle, felt the need to upgrade? Well, chances are that your answer is No. And, Amazon is desperately trying to turn that answer into a Yes.

Kindle Oasis review: Amazon's newest e-reader is nearly perfect
A typical iPhone or iPad is capable of doing damn near anything you need it to-so long as you don't need to do it in direct sunlight. And while those devices certainly become more energy efficient over the years, heavy users like me still find it difficult to get through a full day without having to...

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.
