Kindle Oasis | Now with adjustable warm light | Waterproof, 32 GB, Wi-Fi + Free mobile connectivity | Graphite

So i've debated getting an e-reader for a few years now but wasnt bowled over by my daughter's paperwhite although she loved it. Having a massed a huge amount of paperbacks, i took the plunge but i did want the best out there so i bought the oasis. I absolutely love it! I was usually a bedtime reader but having to balance nightlights and paperbacks i wanted something easier to handle and to cut down on my book collection. This fits the bill perfectly and with the inbuilt amber light it makes reading a dream at night without the use of a bedside light and can even read under the covers. The font size is adjustable and having not got the best eyesight this was a game changer for me and no more strained eyes. Its easy to hold with the step bit at the back and already read 2 books when i would have only usually read about one. I just wish i'd bought this sooner, so if you are debating like i was don't hesitate. Great for the train too when we are allowed to travel again and charge lasts for ages. Easy buttons to turn pages instead of swiping the screen although you have both options. Great bookmark too so you don't lose your place. I couldn't recommend this little gem enough! It also looks great in gold. Love it!UPDATE3 years and 8 months on i am updating my review. The kindle Oasis still remains at 5 stars! I have read hundreds of books since, well in excess of 200 anyway and continuing to enjoy it, mainly at night for night reading, but used around 3 hours at least day/night. I would however recommend that you buy a kindle case that is authentic and will put your kindle to sleep as soon as you close the cover, i made the mistake of not getting one, but i have since and shortly after, purchased the premium leather case and i love it. I would not hesitate to recommend the kindle oasis, beautiful, practical, battery life remains excellent and has enabled me to read far more books having taken stock of my actual books, paper and hardbavk, far too many, that have since been donated to charity.I just wanted to let everyone know that the oasis is built to last, hopefully it'll stay that way. It does cost quite a lot in terms of outlay, but so worth it in my view. I could never have read and enjoyed so many books without it!

I am a voracious reader: mostly tech magazines, biographies, sci-fi and some philosophy. I tend to do most of my reading on my mobile phone or computer. I use the Kindle app on there, and it's a pretty decent experience. However, battery life drains using it; and it's not too good for the eyes.So I figured, seeing as I have hundreds of Kindle books, that it was about time I bought a Kindle to read them on. And not just any old Kindle. I wanted the best! And the best at the moment is the Kindle Oasis, complete with 7" screen, which should easily cope with my tech stuff.It comes in a sexy slim box with a USB lead (not USB-C) and a tiny - can't be seen with the naked eye - user guide. If you've ever used a Kindle before (I had the cheap and cheerful bargain-basement version many years ago but didn't really get along with it), then once you tap the screen it's a simple process of signing in and hanging about while it syncs all your books and what-not.There are many settings you can apply (I prefer the 'dark mode' enabled under accessibility) and you can set it up on a per book level. Page-turning is faster than other Kindles, either via tapping the screen in one of the designated areas or by using the handy buttons! The buttons work great and I tend to use them most of the time.Amazon has still retained its' experimental browser' feature and it's still rubbish. However, if you can be bothered to call up some RSS feeds it is usable in a pinch.Reading books is a pleasure, though. Since adopting it as my main reading vehicle (I still use my phone / PC for magazines - hello Readly - my eyes are not feeling so strained. The text is super clear and crisp.Finally, special mention must go to the screen features. You can set it up to go all warm and cuddly on a schedule and to also auto-dim depending on the ambient lighting. This works really well.ConclusionIf you want the best reading experience out there, then there is no competition. Best screen, most responsive UI, waterproof (!) and possibly the biggest bookstore in the world, you really can't go wrong. For me, the larger screen is what makes it. Everything else is a bonus.
