The Kindle Oasis provides an awesome E Ink reading experience along with extra-long battery life, but the $290 price is a bit steep.

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

Expensive; Browser still awful

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

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.

It’s marginally better than other eReaders on the market, but at a ridiculously expensive price point.

If you don't mind the high price, the Kindle Oasis is the best e-reader you can buy today.

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.

With Black Friday here, now is the best time to plump for the Oasis – if that’s the Kindle you’ve had your eye on. My biggest issue with it was the high price, and with some heavy discounts currently available it’s a much more appealing product.

Big and sharp display, Page-turning buttons are great, New “warmth” display setting is nice on the eyes

With the Paperwhite being so good, the Oasis is a hard sell, Lack of USB-C is annoying, Minimal updates from the previous model
