I just discovered Amazon oasis, i was using my basic one forever, time to upgrade, i was almost leaning towards paperwhite but this oasis sounds like well worth your money. Thanks for the review!😊
Great review, Eric. I absolutely love my Kindle! I have the Oasis 10th Generation also. It was my first eReader. Amazon has been wonderful when I've needed them for help. Almost all the excuses I had before for not getting an eReader proved to be wrong. I read far more now than ever. Reading is more fun, accessible and easier. I realized that one big reason I stopped buying books for many years is that I just don't have any more room for them. That is not even an issue with eReaders. Also, no more awkwardly trying to hold open a book and trying to find the right light to read by. I can search for definitions right on the device, make notes and highlights and even send in suggestions for corrections all right from the device. What took me so long to buy one?! As far as the ghosting, the problem can be solved by going to all settings, selecting Reading Options and turn on Page Refresh. Like shaking an Etch A Sketch, this completely clears the page before writing a new one. However, this refresh causes the page to flash momentarily and can be annoying. I have the option turned off and live with the slight occasional ghosting.
I just ordered mine today. Traded in my Voyage, which got me a $50 gift card, and an additional promotional 20% off... so including tax, I paid a total of $99.
I wish I had traded my voyage in earlier. I’m getting mine today. I got the 50 bucks and the 20%. Total came to about 170 bucks. I also got the higher storage model cause I use audible a lot
Hi. How do you like your oasis compared to the Voyage? I can’t seem to find many true reasons to upgrade. I have a case that is waterproof, so have that portion covered. And audiobooks are usually best on my phone, as I rarely listen to them.
@@LaQueenPanda Honestly, while I'm enjoying my Oasis, there is no valid reason to upgrade. Had I not been able to get the deal that I did, I wouldn't have done it, which is why I hadn't done it before, lol. I only upgraded because I could do so at less than half the retail price, and quite simply, because I'm a gadget nerd, lol. I wouldn't even say it was worth the $99 cost, I just wanted it, and for a lousy $99 I wanted to indulge. I can't give you any practical reason to upgrade, because there really isn't one.
My brother gifted me the Kindle Oasis for Christmas and I am so happy with it! It's waterproof and has separate buttons plus a night light which are really great upgrades
You nailed it saying that if you read more frequently the oasis is a better sale. I have the paperwhite and it is not a comfortable grip trying to read, but so much more portable than the oasis and it fits into literally ANY pocket
Honestly I wish the paperwhite's screen was bigger. I was disappointed when I got mine to find out that the screen was only slightly bigger than my phone's, so I might as well just use that instead of carrying a second device.
The ghosting from the previous page is a result of the high speed page changes. It's not a full reset of the page. You should be able to switch that in the settings so it looks cleaner, but the page turn might take longer.
The buttons sold the Oasis to me when I had CHristmas money. I used to have a Voyage but they don't sell it anymore :( So I had to get a Paperwhite for a time after it was stolen but I missed my buttons.
If you're a casual reader and only read 1-2 books a year, it's cheaper to buy paper copies or read the books on your phone or computer than even investing in a Paperwhite. Or if you're really keen on an e-reader, the base model is still a great alternative. I don't think most people would spend >$100 USD for an e-reader of they don't read often
True, they are not for everybody. But if you travel a lot then even carrying 2-3 books is still a pain. Plus, you can search for text in kindle and save highlights. You can also always buy a used Kindle.
Do manga comic books count? I don’t read books, but I have a collection of graphic novels and comics I’ve bought in the Kindle, Barnes & Noble, and Rakuten stores - over 100GBs. It’s always been cheaper for me to get the e-book version and it saves on the physical space such a collection would take.
I upgraded from the paperwhite after 2 months to the Oasis, and I'm so happy, and it was well worth it. The buttons, bigger screen, faster OS. Also, Amazon gave me a nice buyback price for my Paperwhite, so that made it easier to upgrade. I got the Gold, and I can't be happier. I didn't think I would like the nighttime lighting, but I'm enjoying the night light reading.
@@dangriffin607 If I remember correctly they gave me 110 for the buyback and an Amazon gift card for 30 once they received it in working order. IMO it was well worth it as well. I was battling with the price of the Oasis, but I feel it is worth the price. I've recommended it to several people that have purchased it also. Still love it!
I bought the Kindle Oasis 10th Gen too on a black friday sale, and so far I'm loving it. I just wanted to let you know that under Settings, Reading Options, if you enable Page Refresh you shouldn't have ghosting issues when turning pages. I personally like how previous texts stay on the screen because it looks like if there's a thin layer of paper on top of what I currently have on the screen, specially when I lock the screen. To me it reminds me of the type of paper from newspapers. I know, it's weird haha but I like it.
I ended up get a slim case for it, and cutting off the front flap (b/c when you fold it around, you lose the grip on the back)...and using a sleeve to carry it around in. Moko has a pretty thick one.
Nice review. Matches my experience. Buttons, snappiness, design (size), lighting (no streaking) -- all good reasons, so glad I got this last week (32 gig w/ ads for $199 on Cyber Monday). Can very highly recommend the Ayotu Fabric Soft Case $15 in Dark Grey. It fits super-well and looks super-sharp, and it's very light. I haven't had any ghosting, yet. The Oasis is a joy to use. I especially like landscape mode, with buttons on bottom.
I had a Kindle Voyage for a few years and I loved it! But finally the battery started wearing down. I would’ve replaced it with another Voyage but they discontinued that model 😢 Anyway, I didn’t want to go backwards so I was looking at the Oasis which I thought was too pricey. But Amazon let me trade in my Voyage and at the same time they had some deal where I could get a certain amount off the Oasis. I don’t recall how much I actually paid for the Oasis but it was a decent enough price that I went for I. I do love the Oasis 💕
Terrific review! I absolutely love reading on my Oasis. For all the reasons you mentioned - the feel of it...the ergonomics...the fast processor - the larger size...the lighting....it all makes for comfortable and even luxurious reading. But I do have to say - so far I’m pretty disappointed in the battery. I’m on my second one already because the first was only charging to 98 and the battery was down to 60 % or 70 % at night with just an hour or so of reading if that. That’s Tablet battery life - not Kindle! My last Paperwhite would easily last a month - and still does 7 years later. Hopefully this new one they sent as a replacement will be better! How is your battery life? Any tips besides the usual keeping WiFi off?
I have three Kindles and a Kindle Fire. I am a voracious reader😀, reading several books a week. I use the Kindle paperwhite to carry in my purse, as it is quite compact, and I have two Kindle Oasis, bought at different times, as I wanted the warm light feature for reading at night because the lighting on the first voyager bothered my eyes at night-the warm light feature is wonderful - I use the Kindle fire, (which I bought on sale) to download non-fictionbooks that have maps, charts and photographs, as they look so much better on the fire than they do on the Kindle e-reader. I also I have Kindle apps on my iPads, but I find that for reading text, nothing compares to the Kindle Oasis. If you are not an avid reader, you probably would do fine with the basic model.
Personally I’m not interested in the buttons, but I love the night light, auto brightness and larger screen - I hope they add those features to the paperwhite eventually!
I lost my paper white and just pull a trigger getting the 10th Gen Oasis. I first thought its actually a 2020 Oasis but still 2019 edition to this day. I really hope there will be Oasis in color near future.
The "burn in" is a side-effect of the E-ink display it's not burn in, in the traditional sense and will always go away after a screen refresh. If you are finding it where it's distracting try changing the refresh of the screen to be more regularly (a refresh is when the screen briefly goes all black) in the settings you can change how frequently it does this. In the settings you can choose how many pages it should display before refreshing.
Thanks for making this nice video Eric! I am occasional night reader(2-3 times a week) when I am unable to sleep right away. Is the warm light adjustment feature really impressed you compare to paperwhite? Rest of the features I think are on par between paperwhite and oasis for me.
You are welcome. I think the lighting on the Oasis is great. I don't really adjust the warm light. I set mine and just change the brightness up and down.
My recommendation, go with a Paperwhite and save 50% compared to the Oasis, and you don’t need to upgrade until they come out with a folding screen version in a few years. I mean, the buttons do not add to the actual book experience lol so if that’s what you’re after then wait for the folding screen.
I got a 32GB Oasis 3 with an Amazon-branded leather cover for 210 - used. There was nothing wrong with it. I like its high-capacity storage for my manga collection and the page-turning buttons 🤔🧐
Glad you like it. I love mine, I just wish the buttons were quieter for reading in bed. It’s a pretty obnoxious click. My perfect Kindle would be an Oasis with the Voyage capacitive controls.
I totally agree. It's the one thing that bugs me. You can disable the swipe-to-turn, but apparently you can't disable the buttons-to-turn. Maybe a software update will fix this?
The Paperwhite is a much better deal and you get more for your money. Only go with the Oasis if you really like the buttons--which I do! You can always wait for the Oasis to go on sale, tool. If not, you won't go wrong with the PW.
@@TheICUChannel That seems like a short time. Too short. It should last about a week if you're using the wireless too much. Try turning off the wireless and see what happens. If it's still really bad, I'd send it back and get a new one.
Great video! One question, how long does the battery last on your Kindle Oasis? The whole month? Cause I bought mine a week ago and it drains so quickly; i have to recharge it every 3 days, with 1 or 2 hours of daily usage. Is that normal?
Thanks! If I read an hour a day on it, my Oasis lasts about ten days, maybe two weeks. Yours seems to be draining too quickly! How much are you reading per day? Also, it lasts a lot longer on Airplane mode.
Battery life has always sucked. After about 5 years, my first Kindle Oasis will need to have its battery replaced, as it drains very quickly or needs to be plugged in at all times 🔌🔋🤔🧐
My kindle Oasis gen 10 won't charge up to 100% only up to 99% no matter how long I let it charge. Any ideas what's going on here and now to resolve it to get a full charge? Many thanks in advance.
Thanks. If you read a ton and use the wireless, it’s only a few days. But if you read only moderately and minimize the wireless, it’ll last a week or two.
I currently have a Kobo Clara HD and want to upgrade to an ereader with page buttons and the 7 inch screen. Love the idea of the Kobo Libra, and its much cheaper price, but my Clara is already having issues at less than a year old. Since I'm such an avid reader, (I'll probably read around 200 books this year), I need something reliable-the Clara is losing my spot in my currently read book and it's driving me bonkers :/ Soooo, trying to justify the extra $100 to get an Oasis lol.
You are correct. That's because Oasis' battery is 500mah shorter than Paperwhite 10. But once you go Oasis, you'll find it very hard to go back to PW10--even with that much difference in battery life.
Mine seems to lose battery pretty fast. I received another one right after getting it (within the 30days return policy). And, they both seemed the same. Not a huge deal.... I'm not usually far from an outlet, so charging it more frequently isn't a problem.
I already have a kindle paperwhire and also a likebook mars. The black friday is coming and I was thinking to also get the oasis. I want the best reading experience possible but I am not sure if it is worth to buy. Kindle has a smoother reding experience compared to the android likebook but the screen is smaller. Do you think 7 inch is enough for reading?
If you can get the Oasis on sale, I think it's worth it for sure. I don't think you'll ever return to using the Paperwhite after the Oasis. The 7" screen makes a difference, but it's more the look and feel of the Oasis that makes it better. Plus, it's fast! Hope this helps.
@@kindlentech316 I disagree I have had it since May if I had paid full price I would have sent it back and got a paperwhite. I was lucky and was able to get an Oasis 10th generation and the premium leather case for $50.
@@kindlentech316 Thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it. The oasis feels much better than the Likebook. It does't exhaust the hand. I was thinking to return it because of the cold metalic back, but I decided to keep it. I wish you good reading.
@@seanrogeThank you for the reply. The paperwhite is fantastic device but I prefer the oasis because of the warm light and bigger screen. I am not a careless person with money, but I spent my youth not reading so much, and if this device helps me read one book more in the next year for me it's worth it. Ereaders are helping me a lot to read.
I’m getting one for my birthday from my hubby ❣️ woohoo 🥳
That’s great! You’re gonna love it!

my kindle is 9 year old and still working
That's great! If it ain't broke.. ;)
Can you turn off the page turns from the touch screen so it only changes pages via the buttons?
No you can’t. Or at least I’ve never found a way to do it.
What about the battery life?. I'm noticing shorter battery life. Compared to the paperwhite.
You are correct. That's because Oasis' battery is 500mah shorter than Paperwhite 10. But once you go Oasis, you'll find it very hard to go back to PW10--even with that much difference in battery life.

I am not a careless person with money, but I spent my youth not reading so much, and if this device helps me read one book more in the next year for me it's worth it. Ereaders are helping me a lot to read.
Hello. Is the battery life of your Oasis performing well? Thanks.
10/10 it makes you FEEL like you're reading a book
Ya I love it! Glad you like yours, too.
I think it would be worth it only if you never buy books. I only borrow ebooks from my library and haven’t spent a dime on a book for years.
I know! Renting books from the library is amazing!
i won a kindle Oasis from working at amazon I'm trying to sell it on offer up lol.
Nice prize!
Is it just the 10th generation oasis with the warm light feature?
Yes. And it's wonderful.
The sound of that button will wake my wife up... Failed
You can still change pages with the touchscreen.
Absolutely Eric, it may be used in a “silent touch mode” when someone is sleeping close to you. Warm white sold this Kindle to me
Like the buTTons too lol
I need to soften the "t's a bit, lol!
250 dollars your papa will pay?
You bastard, I just ordered the Oasis and now my kids will starve for a week.
Just kidding, I don't have kids
Battery life update???
It’s not great but decent. I still love it and use it more than any of my other Kindles.
How often do you need to charge it?
@@ClayMationNation I think if you read for an hour a day you’d have to charge it once every two weeks.
