Amazon's premium Kindle Oasis comes with Bluetooth, waterproofing and a larger screen. Here's our full review of the 9th-gen model from 2017.

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

The 2017 version of the Amazon Kindle Oasis remains expensive, but it still offers one of best ereader experiences money can buy with an easy-to-use system, beautiful design and phenomenal reading experience.

Great reading experience; Audiobook functionality; Waterproof and metal design is lovely

Expensive; No headphone jack; No speakers

The Amazon Kindle Oasis is the best ebook reader money can buy, but the Kindle Paperwhite remains a more realistic choice for all but the most well-heeled readers.

Sharp, bright screen; Long battery life extended by leather charging cover; Ergonomic design; Built-in accelerometer; Vast ebook store.

Expensive; Not waterproof; Cover doesn't protect entire reader.

Yes, it's expensive, but the Kindle Oasis is a brilliant bit of design and easily the best eReader yet

Beautiful design; Excellent battery life; Good display

Expensive

Still beautiful, the Kindle Oasis further differentiates itself with a bigger screen. It's not for everybody, but some will find it a joy.

Lovely and lightweight; Still so thin; Charging case a nice touch; Waterproof

Expensive; 3G version is even more; Not for everybody

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,...

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

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.

According to FCC documents , the Oasis actually has Bluetooth and text to speech functionality, but Amazon has not enabled these features yet via a firmware update. Maybe in the future they will allow it to connect up to series of new accessories.

High Resolution; Case has a built in battery; 10 LED lights make it the best Kindle to read at night; New Ember font is really good

The most expensive Kindle ever; Asymmetrical design takes some getting used to; If you turn the brightness level to max it drains the battery quickly; Rating; : 7.5/10
