Wow, that was so interesting to hear how the screen works. I just recently got a Kindle (Paperwhite) this past Christmas. Prior to that, I was reading with the Kindle app on my phone or iPad. I absolutely love having a Kindle now! It's a game changer for me. The Oasis does sound nice with the buttons. I also love the fact that it's only an e-reader and nothing else. :) Good tip about the wireless charging! Great breakdown and chat about the Oasis!
Thank you! I hear the new Paperwhite is amazing, I'm tempted to get a newer Kindle to try because I love gadgets!
Such a good video for such a small channel- and you have a very nice book, something i could fall asleep to- forget white noise!
Thank you so much! Even though I have a small channel and not a lot of viewers, I try to make good stuff that's useful and entertaining to my viewers.
Hello Sam,
I have your same Oasis and like the page buttons a lot. Being older and now with vision challenges I also have a Scribe - which doesn’t feel unwieldy. The Oasis is in thin faux leather case that feels great; and the Scribe is in a thin clear plastic case that grips well. I only wish the Scribe had page-turn buttons as well. Thank you for the video… and “hi” to your son!

As someone that is relatively clueless when it comes to
e readers, I found this very interesting.
Thank you! I'm a big gadget nerd so I hoped that my inside knowledge would be useful.
@@SamHarrison2099 very!
Thank you for this. I finally decided to buy an Oasis
Glad I could help! Hope you like it as much as I do.
I'm a proud Kindle Oasis owner. I do almost all my reading on it, though I've gotten into the habit of buying collectible hardcovers lately . . .
I love mine for Kindle Unlimited, and I will often get the physical and a kindle copy of a book so I can swap between for convenience!
I love my very old, very janky Kindle Paperwhite. It's perfect for the Unlimited subscription and for the variety of books I wouldn't be able to buy phisically for whatever reason (like availability or price) and the reading experience is still very good. But I love paperbacks and hardcovers, I guess that's my favorite way of reading 😅
I prefer a hardback if I have the choice, though a paperback is a very close second! I think I probably read at least one book a month on my Kindle, but it mostly gets used for indie books.
I love my oasis.. I bought the Beautiful champagne model at a cheaper price
Good choice!
Whatever camera this is… it’s very nice
I use a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but instead of using the front camera so I can see what I'm filming I mirror my phone screen to my TV and then use the rear camera so I can get the best quality possible.
I am a physical reader, very rarely read a ebook and when I do I read it on my phone. Logically I think kindles etc are brilliant I just haven't made the jump yet - maybe one day
I think they serve a purpose - the best for me is Kindle Unlimited. So many incredible self-pub books on there.
@@SamHarrison2099 yes that is probably the most tempting aspect of the kindle to me at the moment
I’m in Australia and I normally buy my Kindle at a store called Officeworks as they’re the only Kindle stockists. I just get too impatient to wait for Amazon postage.
My question…do all official retailers do the trade in option? My Amazon (AU) does not have a trade in or “kids” Kindle packages.
I don't know if Amazon does it in every country, but they definitely do in the UK. I just bought a Kindle Scribe but I didn't trade in the Oasis as I wasn't sure I would like it.
@@SamHarrison2099would you still recommend purchasing the Oasis today despite it being a 2019 edition? I’ve currently got the 11th gen Paperwhite.
I think it depends on what you want from your Kindle - I think if you want the premium feel and quality of an Oasis like I did then I would highly recommend it. The only negatives for the Oasis is that the battery is the worst in the lineup, and it has the old charger port.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the back of the Oasis is plastic. There is a metal chassis inside it, however. Personally, I love the Oasis. I tried using my wife's Paperwhite and found it incredibly uncomfortable, whereas the ergonomic design of the Oasis is wonderful.
That's interesting - because it feels just like metal!
I know. I thought it was until mine started losing the metallic sheen on the corners. I then saw one taken apart.
@@SamHarrison2099
Only the first Oasis is plastic. The 2 and 3 both have an aluminum body.
Hmmm! I have a 10th Gen and the silver paint on the back is wearing off, leaving pale plastic. It has an aluminium chassis, certainly, but the back cover is plastic.
Maybe I was duped by Argos...@@Joe2theFACE
