Reimagined to be our thinnest and lightest Kindle ever

Designed to feel as light as paper, Kindle Oasis is over 20% lighter and 30% thinner on average than any other Kindle. The handgrip tapers to an ultra-thin 3.4 mm display so you can read comfortably for hours.

Kindle Oasis combines our strongest cover glass and a featherweight frame infused with metal using structural electroplating, ensuring it is lightweight while also resilient enough to take it with you everywhere you go.

Perfectly balanced ergonomic design

A tapered ergonomic handgrip shifts the centre of gravity to your palm, to rest in your hand like the spine of a book. Perfectly balanced for one-handed reading, Kindle Oasis lets you lose yourself in your story.

Comfortably turn the page with either the touch display or dedicated page turn buttons located on the front of the handgrip. Whether you choose to read with your left or right hand, Kindle Oasis automatically rotates the page orientation to match.

Highest-resolution Kindle with enhanced lighting

Kindle Oasis features a high-resolution 300 ppi display for crisp text, which reads like the printed page, on the same 6” display size as Kindle Voyage. A redesigned built-in light features 60% more LEDs than any other Kindle, increasing the consistency and range of screen brightness for improved reading in all types of lighting. Kindle Oasis guides light towards the surface of the display with its built-in front light—unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes—so you can read comfortably for hours without eye strain.

Dual-battery charging system provides the longest battery life of any Kindle

Charge the device and cover simultaneously while joined together and plugged in. When on the go, the cover will recharge the device automatically, giving you months of combined battery life. Plus, a new hibernation mode minimises power consumption when your Kindle is inactive, extending battery life to its fullest capacity.

Premium leather cover

The removable charging cover is made of high-quality leather and comes in your choice of black, merlot or walnut. The cover opens like a book and fits closely around the bezel, waking Kindle Oasis when opened and putting it to sleep when closed. Twelve magnets form a secure and solid attachment between device and cover, while still easy to detach when the lightest possible weight is desired.

Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + free 3G

Wi-Fi

A Kindle with Wi-Fi is a great choice if you already have a high-speed Internet connection and wireless router set up in your home. If you do not have Wi-Fi set up at home, a 3G model may be a better option—3G connectivity lets you download books anytime, anywhere.

Built-in free 3G connectivity uses the same wireless signals that mobile phones use, but there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for 3G wireless connectivity. The added convenience of 3G lets you download books anytime, anywhere, without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. Your Kindle may use wireless connectivity to make other services available, such as wireless delivery of personal documents, which may require an additional charge. For more information, see Wireless Terms and Conditions

With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, 3G lets you download books anytime, anywhere, whether you're relaxing on a beach, halfway through a hike or waiting on the tarmac. Check 3G coverage area

Connectivity Technology: Wi-Fi OnlyColour: Walnut Verified Purchase
My previous kindle (kindle keyboard), has served me well for over 7 years so was a little apprehensive if this one would be better. Yes, it's expensive, but if you're really into reading on e-ink, it's definitely a worthwhile investment. Considering I paid £150 for the kindle keyboard plus another £50 for the case, this is not much more for a much better designed product. And if it lasts me 7 years, that is not a lot of money long--term fir an avid reader.

There are so many comments about the screen being the same as the other kindles, which are far less expensive, which to a large extent is true, but that isn't the point for me and not why I bought the Oasis. What does it for me is its form factor. It is such a pleasure to hold and it really does just let you concentrate on reading.......that is the point! It is much better to use than the other kindles, which I have tried briefly. The buttons are nicely positioned, the screen is evenly lit, (perhaps QA has improved), and so far the battery is just as good as my kindle keyboard, which was great.It's also really light and so portable, so ideal for my commute.

I purposely got the walnut cover as I want it to get marked to give it some character. It's already doing it and looks more like the cover of an old book every day, great. The cover is completely sufficient for protecting the kindle, albeit the sides may take a hit.although the cover does just stick out a mm, so this may not be an issue.

My only initial downside on first impressions was the screen. Yes, I was impressed with the light and its evenness, but as a whole, I just wasn't wowed. I think I was used to the bolder font of the kindle keyboard.

The Oasis is a mixed bag of innovation and compromise. I've got a few other Kindles too including the Paperwhite and Voyage.

My rating of 4 stars is optimistic and reflects the fact that I like it in spite of some of its short comings. This could be a two star review for someone else.

The cost seems high to me for what you get. The screen doesn't feel any clearer or brighter than the screen on my other illuminated Kindles and its overall performance is as sluggish as those other devices so I imagine it uses the same or a similar processor.

Battery life is advertised as being months as opposed to weeks but this assumes you're using the battery case.. The battery in the main device itself is teeny tiny and holds very little charge so you're obligated to carry it around in the case at least. This isn't a great hardship, but I do feel it's a bit dishonest.

The page turn buttons are great. I hated the page turn pads on the Voyage; too hard to locate and press reliably. It does feel slightly mad that my favourite feature is real buttons just like my 2008? model Kindle had, but there you go.

It is the best Kindle to date, but I'm not really seeing where the premium is hidden. If you don't mind the cost I'd recommend it.

Device looks and feels great. However it hangs when in standby and will not open unless you hold the power button for 40 seconds. That's not my real complaint however, customer service won't speak to me to resolve it as although I bought it and am the legal owner my wife has it registered on her account (she reads more than me). I tried explaining this, but they plain refuse to speak to me, so I think I may have to just return it and get a replacement.

This is great but so was my previous paper white. Not worth the added expense for the difference. But that is ego having to have the top model when in reality I did not really need it. D'Oh!

A beautiful piece of technology. I upgraded from a Paperwhite and thought long and hard about whether to choose a Voyage or an Oasis. The fact that the Oasis comes with a cover (an additional cost with the Voyage) is smaller, lighter and has a better screen swung it for me.

The screen is noticeably better than the Paperwhite. It is brighter and sharper and doesn't have the darker spots my Paperwhite had. The buttons to turn the page work well with a satisfying click which gives good feedback and makes it difficult to accidentally advance by more than one page at a time. It is incredibly light and easy to hold because the design means most of the weight is in the part you grip. Unless I am travelling I use it without the cover and it is easy to hold in one hand for long periods, with the built in accelerometer quickly identifying when you switch hands making the text rotate immediately. The function of the buttons also rotates when you switch hands, so that the top button always advances to the next page and the bottom button goes back a page.

It is still early days but I have found that the battery life very good. After using it for 3-4 hours a day for almost a week I still have over 90% charge on the kindle and 80% on the cover. This is in aeroplane mode, I only use the wifi when downloading books.

The backlight has to be manually adjusted by going into the relevant menu. At the brightest setting it can be comfortably read outside in sunlight, and the dimmer settings make it comfortable to read in the dark. Ideally I would like to have physical buttons or a slider to adjust the brightness rather than having to access a menu.

My only niggle is the cover.
