> 24 hourIt certainly is not cheap but it does exactly what it says it will, no fuss no bother. The automatic adjustment for the available light is good. But is it SO MUCH better than a paperwhite for the price, I am not so sure on.

> 24 hourCompared to other Kindles, the battery on this has to be charged much more often and becomes annoying when you are reading a good book!

> 24 hourWell, Ive let the cat out of the bag -- the Oasis often flips the page when I dont want it to do so. Just shifting my finger a little on the bezel will often flip the page. This is a nuissance. I have not found a setting to reduce the sensitivity of the screen or turn the touch screen off ... because, well, you dont really need the touch screen because the two forward and back buttons work beautifully. I have increased text size a little and its a joy to read. It feels lighter than my old kindle touch thats not holding a charge very well any more. Actually, the Oasis runs the battery down pretty fast, too, I have just disabled the bluetooth and hopefully that will improve things. I have a wooden stand for my kindle(s) and the design of the Oasis with one fat edge and one thin edge makes it lop-sided when I have it on the stand to read while having breakfast. Questionable design choice. Ive had the Kindle Oasis for some months now, and I must report that the battery life is truly dreadful, even with the backlight turned off and the kindle not in use for a few days the battery low warning comes up if I forgot to turn airplane mode on - in other words the wifi sucks it dry very very quickly. I have struck other problems lately. Sometimes it just gets stuck on a page. Buttons dont work, touch screen doesnt work. Fortunately powering it down and back up resolves this, for the time being, otherwise Id have a very expensive piece of technologic trash on my hands - but it truly isnt a good look. I have revised my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.

> 24 hourI bought this after I lost my Kindle Voyage. Its a great little device and Im pleased with it. However I cant say that its significantly better than the Voyage that it replaced, which may be why Amazon stopped selling the Voyage. In fact the Voyage had page turning buttons on both sides, which was a bit more convenient. On the other hand, this has different kinds of lighting, which is a nice touch, and is a bit smaller. Its a great device but not worth the price of upgrading if you have a Voyage already (unless of course you desperately want to read in the bathtub). NOTE: THEY RECENTLY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE for this device. BAD MOVE! I see no improvements whatsoever, while meanwhile I can no longer corral all my books into their categories -- no matter what I do, some books still show up floating around outside the little boxes where they should be stored. At the same time, it now displays ads for books even though I specifically paid extra for the version that didnt have ads. This improvement is a significant downgrade - much more difficult to use with no additional features that are useful to the consumer. I cant understand why companies do this. No, Im sorry, I can. Amazon employs programmers who have to do something to prove that theyre useful, otherwise theyll lose their jobs. So they take perfectly good software and tinker with it just so that they can be seen to be doing something. It gets me upset. After this so-called upgrade, Id downgrade my review to a 3-star if I could.

> 24 hourAs a product claiming itself international version and charge us 20US dollars more, I would expect a product with some common sense in it. I am living in Hong Kong and we are using English and Traditional Chinese as our official language. Yet, the kindle store is forced to simplified Chinese store, which we do not read and write here. What will Dutch people think if they are forced to German store? What will German people think if they are forced to a French store? Hey, at least give us an easy way to switch to a language we understand, or do it properly without using the wrong language store, right? Yes, if I can get to the Internet and remember my password of Amazon account, I can switch it to the profile of my amazon account, to avoid the wrong store (simplified Chinese). But as a former British Colony, we speak and write English (UK) instead of English (US), thats why I chose the UK English. But if we made that choice, the Traditional Chinese input method is then unavailable, without a clue. Until I am forced to switch to English (US), I can find those input methods of Traditional Chinese, which is ridiculous. As a product costing nearly 300 US dollars, with a lot of Traditional Chinese books on store, with the population of 23 Millions in Taiwan and 7.5 Millions in Hong Kong, I cant understand why Amazon is still unable to provide a Traditional Chinese interface, instead of the simplified Chinese interface. It is rather sad the Quick input method of Traditional Chinese is still unavailable as well, which is said can be done easily by rooting the device, but voiding the warranty, so I havent tried. As a company with such a scale, would you just improve it?
