International Version – Kindle Oasis – Now with adjustable warm light - 8 GB, Graphite

Amazing e-reader, bought one for myself, liked it so much that I ordered 3 more for family members!

Well, 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.

Excelente

Its good, except if in a case for some reason the battery just depletes a lot quicker. Out of the case I had battery life of a week average. Gets a bit uncomfortable to told after a while

I think that the device is expensive for the features it come with, but its really comfortable to read for hours. Would be nice if you could use it horizontally and for read manga a maybe a bigger screen with a lower delay between pages(its actually about a second with images).

First device Ive used that disappears into the background and puts the words on the page first. Super quality build, super thoughtful features. The device is handed, the ridge makes it very comfortable to hold in your right hand with your fingers naturally falling (well for someone with my sized hand at least, YMMV (Your Mitts May Vary). But dont worry, if you turn it upside down it, now it fits perfectly in your left hand. The slick bit is the screen flips more or less instantly and the buttons switch functions. The screen is crystal clear and you can adjust the light strength and colour to your hearts content, I really like the ability to set a schedule that adjusts the brightness and colour. All in all, this critter is pricey compared to other kindles but its worth every penny.

Ive had several paperwhites so Im experienced with ereaders. The Oasis has terrible battery life. When I returned it the customer service person neglected to inform me my new $250 Oasis would be replaced with a used/refurbished one. The refurbished one has the same terrible battery life. This is a common problem with this ereader. I wish I had never spent the money on this as Im now stuck with a defective device. The battery life loses power quickly and doesnt last more than a day. My 5 year old iPad Air lasts longer than this does. In addition its impossible to hold in one hand and uncomfortable to read at night while going to sleep.

Much more practical than physical books. Though it has these annoying flaws that I expect to be gone with the next generation of Kindle readers: 1. Not exactly like white paper of a new physical book. The background has an earthy grey tint. You need more light for acceptable contrast. 2. No purely red light night time mode. The warmest color setting still emits plenty of blue and green light that lowers your sleep quality. 3. Its cold and slippery. Doesnt feel that good in your hands. No good grip.

Would have liked to give this zero stars, but that didnt appear to be a possibility. Worked fine for a few months, then the screen stopped working. It is under warranty, but because I moved addresses they cant ship a replacement to my new address (they even asked if I could go back to New Zealand from France to pick up the replacement). Really, really terrible customer service.

Muy buena inversión. Puedo llevar todos mis libros a todas partes. La batería dura mucho y se puede leer por mucho tiempo sin cansancio. Es el segundo que tengo y lo sigo recomendando.
