The original Oasis on the left, the new Oasis on the right. While the new Kindle Oasis on paper is less expensive than the original Oasis, $250 is still a lot to spend on an e-reader. Is it that much better than the Kindle Paperwhite? No, it isn't. Except for the Audible support, they have access to the same deep set of reading features and same Kindle e-books and other content from Amazon (if you're a Prime member, you can download plenty of free titles, some of which you may actually want to read). While it's a little mundane looking, the Paperwhite has a nice E Ink touchscreen display and often gets discounted to less than $100.
But the Kindle Oasis (2017) is a premium e-reader targeted at those who value their Kindle as much, if not more, than their phone and want ultra light snap-on case for iphone xs max to own the best e-reader available, The original Oasis was that e-reader, And if you already bought that one, I don't think you'll be that enticed by this one, The original is still a great e-reader, and if lightweight is what you're after, it's still the king, Ultimately, however, the larger screen, more durable aluminum chassis and full waterproofing are important upgrades that put the new Kindle Oasis at the top of the e-reader class, Sure, it's a little crazy to spend this much for an e-reader, but then again, people have been known to overspend on smartphones, noise-cancelling wireless headphones and a lot of other products, Why not a fancy Kindle?..
With a bigger screen, audiobook support and (at last) full waterproofing, the new Kindle Oasis heads to the top of the e-reader class. The Good: The new Kindle Oasis maintains its slim design while adding a sturdier aluminum back and a larger 7-inch, high-resolution E Ink screen. It's fully waterproof (can be submerged) and can play your Audible audiobooks to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. Integrated light is brighter at its highest setting. The Bad: Expensive; no case included. The Bottom Line: While not as lightweight as the original Kindle Oasis, the larger screen, more durable aluminum chassis and full waterproofing are important upgrades that put the new Oasis at the top of the e-reader class.
When Amazon released its original Kindle Oasis e-reader in 2016, I was pretty impressed, It was really thin and lightweight and featured a top-of-the-line E Ink screen, It also came with a slick, removable leather cover that had a built-in battery, The only downside? It cost a whopping $290 or £270 in the UK or AU$449 in Australia, Enter the "all-new" Kindle Oasis, 2017 edition, The first fully waterproof Kindle, it features a larger 7-inch E Ink display, a very slim design and an aluminum back, It ultra light snap-on case for iphone xs max also marks the return of Audible audiobook support to the Kindle platform, And technically it costs less, starting at $250 for the model with 8GB of storage, The Oasis goes up to $350 for a 32GB model with cellular connectivity, which has all-you-can-eat data plan included in the price for content downloads during the lifetime of the device, (Note that's only for e-books; you'll still need to download audiobooks on Wi-Fi.)..
The big caveat is that the new Kindle Oasis doesn't come with a case, it's an optional accessory, starting at $45. So for those of us who like to use a case (I do) the price is essentially a wash. However, despite that, the good news is you're getting more e-reader for your money. By that I mean the larger screen is appealing, the aluminum casing seems to be more durable and if you use your e-reader in the bathtub, by the pool (or maybe in the pool) or at the beach, the waterproofing is a big plus.
