Okay, I'm a huge kindle fan. That's no secret. I started with the kindle keyboard and have owned a couple of each of the voyage, paperwhite, along with the basic kindle. I bought an oasis first generation, but never received it (my daughter ended up with it when I moved to the UK before I received it in the US). I finally got tired of waiting for the first generation to make its way to me and purchased a 2nd generation oasis last year. I kept it for a week and really wanted to love it, but I kinda hated it. I found it slow to respond and the lighting wasn't as crisp on it as it was on my voyage. I ended up sending it back. I found the battery life to be awful. It didn't even last 4 days before I had to recharge. I just found it way overpriced for something I did't enjoy reading on. I went back to my voyage and sent that oasis back.I can't lie. I am the type of person that just spends way too much time stressing over not having the latest generation of kindle! I thought I would give this newest one a chance. After all, I knew I could send it back if I hated it...I also believe that Bezos and others actually listen to us when we tell them what our issues are with products. If they didn't fix the oasis, no one would be willing to pay that money for it, the previous issues had to be addressed. So I bit the bullet and saved my pennies and purchased this new one.I have to say, after downloading books and setting up probably a dozen kindles (for kids, co-workers, in-laws, husbands, and myself) this is the easiest and fasted kindle I've ever set up. Downloading was super quick (and I kid you not, I have thousands of books on my account and computer). There was no lagging whilst scrolling the cloud and having dozens of books download at the same time. This has always been an issue for me in the past. There was no indexing issues (I actually had to send back 3 paperwhites when they came out because they would not index due to my large library, a little known software issue that didn't effect all kindles, but obviously I was unlucky, my battery would run out within a day). There is no issue with page turns or accessing my home pages on this thing, even whilst downloading multiple books. It works lightening fast and I have to say I absolutely love this thing. It's hands down my favourite yet. I never thought I could say that about another kindle as I love my voyage(s).I waited a week to post this as I wanted to make sure I gave not only an honest review, but an accurate one as well.This warm lighting...wow....but first, let me say, the lighting on this oasis and my voyage(s) is still different. I think this oasis is closer than the one I sent back last year, however, it too, is still nowhere near as bright as my voyage(s). However, I am getting used to this. It's time to admit to everyone that I am not as young as I used to be. When I read at night, my eyes burn and water like mad. It used to mean that I only read about 10 minutes at night before I just gave up and turned off my kindle. I honestly had no idea that this warm lighting would completely change my reading experience at night. I guess maybe I'm clueless because I honestly had no idea that the backlighting would be the cause of my burning/watering eyes. Now I know. The problem has completely disappeared now with me just turning up the warm lighting to about 6. I am now able to read at night with no issues. It was an unexpected surprise and one that I would gladly pay for all over again in the price of the kindle. Until I had this warm lighting I just didn't realise how much I was missing the enjoyment of reading at night.There is one thing I can fault. It's not all good news here...my oasis does not wake up. I don't believe it's the case (which I love, I have the Atotu fabric case which sits flush with the back making it flat. I've tried to wake it up using a different case that I know worked with the previous oasis generation. I just think it's my kindle. However, even though I find this super annoying, I can't knock it down even one star, because I am so pleased with this kindle in every other way. At the end of the day, having to push the on button to wake it isn't really the end of the world...annoying yes, dealbreaker no.I still think it's rather expensive (this is like a week and a half's pay for me!!!). Having said that, it's my form of enjoyment. I don't really go out much for meals, I don't smoke, I don't collect Pokémon or anything like that...so this is it...I read...and this device makes reading a joy for me...I'm not having any issues with the battery life. Honestly I've only had to charge it once and that's with me having downloaded hundreds of books.I am not regretting a single pence I spent on this oasis and I hope I have it for years to come.

This is my second Oasis, I had the 2017 version previously and loved it. This newer version has a bigger screen and the warm backlight for reading in the dark. Ergonomically it is perfect with one side slightly thicker than the other making it easy to hold and page turn buttons which adapt to which way up your are holding it. I understand it is waterproof, but haven't tested this.
The reading experience is wonderful, the text is sharp, page turns are slick and the backlighting is even across the whole screen and can be set to automatically adjust between the warmer and cooler lighting at sunrise and sunset.
It has not been refreshed since 2019, and still has USB-A charging which is becoming obsolete now, but the battery life is fantastic so I only need to charge it every week or so.
This model is being discontinued but if you can still get your hands on one I highly recommend it.

I bought this Oasis 3 to replace my trusty 6-year old Paperwhite which had gotten a bit laggy and slow (like its owner). An earlier reviewer had said it made for a whole new reading experience, which I thought was a pretty tall order - until I got my own.

It is amazing, a real quantum leap from the Paperwhite. It’s lighter, thinner and the nifty ergonomic design of the back means it’s very comfortable to hold. The slightly bigger and squarer screen makes more difference than you would believe: it really does alter the whole experience. I actually feel I’m reading a proper book, and not a tablet: it’s much more enjoyable and I find I get lost in a book now, which I never really did with the PW. (Which I can’t face using again now, the difference is that great.)

The screen too is clearer (not matt, like the Paperwhite) and crisper. It’s a real quality screen. Plus it has the added bonus of the warm light option, which is nice if your eyes are tired and you want a softer tone. You can also schedule the warmth to come on automatically at sunset and off at dawn, so you automatically get a warmer tone for night-time reading. Clever stuff.

As well as the touch screen - whoopee, it also has page turn buttons which are situated on the right hand side just where you hold it, so within fingertip reach. Everything is very quick and responsive, and downloading only takes a jiff.

Battery life - hmm, I never believe what it says on the tin anyway when it comes to these claims. I’ve not had it long enough to really put it to the test, but with airplane mode on, brightness at 15 bars and warmth at 5, and reading 1-2 hours a day, I’d say the battery isn’t lasting nearly as long as the PW but it’s not exactly disgracing itself either. Doubt it would last for weeks (but then how long is a piece of string? All depends on how you use it) but as I top my devices up regularly anyway that doesn’t bother me.

I bought the 32g with 4g, 32 being far too many giggies for my use but irritatingly it was the only version which offered both WiFi and 4g, and that flexibility’s always been a must for me. It’s meant I can download new books in the most unlikely places. I teamed it with a decent screen protector and the posh red fabric smart cover (overpriced but very nice) and now I can swank all over town with it. Or could, if we weren’t still in lockdown. Maybe I can wave it out the window and make the neighbours jealous.

So, lovely Amazon peeps - stay safe, stay well, and if you need a lockdown treat then this is just the job. It really is that good.

I used to have a 1st Gen Oasis but decided to sell it as I needed money at the time and had grown a love for print books over ebooks. Well, that sale failed as Royal Mail lost the parcel, so I never even got the money. Ever since then I've missed having a kindle. I love print books but there's something elegant and addictive about reading on a Kindle. I love the stats they provide (although I'm still hoping for the day I can see my daily reading stats like Audible does for listening).

I wasn't sure much had changed between the 1st and whatever generation this one is (3rd I think?) and, not a lot has really... The screen is bigger, the warm light is great and allows for very comfortable viewing at night. The battery is now fully enclosed inside the Kindle and not doubled up inside the case (that's actually one critisim, the 1st gen came with a case... Although I understand this was needed for the battery). The device also seems quicker than I remember the 1st gen being. It also definitely screams the price a lot more than the 1st gen. I don't know if my memory is just failing me, but I don't remember the 1st gen Oasis feeling this premium. The materials used scream quality, reminding of a flagship phone or tablet. For the price of the Oasis, you'd expect no less, and that made me feel more pleasure in my purchase. The price tag is obviously quite expensive for an ereader, but I think it's worth it. If you read for hours at a time like me, you want the best reading experience money can buy, and this is definitely it (although it would be great if the oasis had a inbuilt gadget that sprayed book scents in the air, as that sadly can't be replaced by ebooks).

I've already used my Oasis for around 15 hours and I've had it just over 24. You can thank the superb book I'm reading for that. The battery has gone down 60% in that time. Not so impressive, but I do have WiFi and location services turned on (although Bluetooth is off for now)... The battery won't bother me until I take this on a camping trip or something of that sort, although I'm almost certain aeroplane mode will provide the battery boost I need - I remember it making a huge difference on previous models of Kindle.

This is the best Kindle money can buy. The only downside is the battery - I remember the older first generation Kindle Paperwhites having better batteries, but I definitely didn't read as much back then, so maybe that's why it seemed that way. The Oasis is very thin, so the battery is passable. The battery should last for around 30 hours of reading (based on WiFi & location on like me), which is plenty really - plus more on aeroplane mode.

Overall, the battery isn't a big issue for me as everything else definitely outweighs that! I'm just happy I managed to spare 5 minutes away from my book to write this! Better get back to it! 😜
