There's no arguing that the Kindle Oasis is a fabulous device for reading on. It's thinner, lighter, faster and more thoughtfully designed than any Kindle before it. The screen light has been improved and it has great battery life. It's a fantastic thing...

Great reading experience, Audiobooks are useful, Waterproof and metal design is lovely
Expensive, No headphone jack, No speakers
The newest version of the Kindle Oasis is the best ereader on the market right now, but it comes at a price.Whether you need some of the top-end features offered here is down to personal preference, but if you're planning to read on your Kindle for a long...

In fact, despite the caveats surrounding the Audible integration, Amazon's latest luxury e-reader is pretty much a shoe-in for an award with improved hardware, software and design over the previous Kindle Oasis. It's now pretty much the perfect e-reader a...
The bigger screen is great, Audible integration, It's finally waterproof
That price, Slightly uncomfortable to hold without a case, Audio requires Bluetooth speakers or headphones
It's expensive and a few of the design changes won't suit all, but the bigger screen and waterproofing make it the perfect choice for die-hard e-reader fans...

Sublime reading experience, larger display, more even illumination, quality covers, fully-featured
It can be a little slippery, price
The original Oasis had some problems. It was by far the most expensive Kindle, but it wasn't the most advanced. It was a case of form over function. The new Kindle Oasis flips that position on its head and delivers more. It's the full functionality of all...

Waterproof, Slim and beautiful design, Improved, 6-week battery life, More personalization options
Expensive, Heavier than its predecessor
Yes. For bookworms, the Kindle Oasis remains the definite ebook reader to own. With all the features you'd ever want an e-reader, you're ultimately shelling out a large sum of money for a device that will last you for years to come.Editor's Recommendation...

Great screen for all light conditions, waterproof, can connect with Bluetooth headphones for audiobooks
Expensive, battery time isn't great, no headphone jack
There's loads to love about this new Kindle, not least the fact that it's now waterproof and capable of streaming audiobooks, but is it really worth the starting price of £229?I don't think so. In a tweak on the page of its cheapest Kindle, Amazon suggest...

Waterproof design, Ability to play audiobooks
No 3.5mm headphone jack, Heavier than last generation
The new Kindle Oasis is the most accomplished ereader Amazon has ever created, but it's still an expensive choice and you'll only want to buy this version if you use a lot of Amazon's reading and listening services...
Water-resistance and Audible integration have been two of the biggest features missing from previous Kindles, so having them here instantly makes the new Oasis an interesting prospect.With prices starting at £229 for an 8GB model and £259 for 32GB, the Oa...
Abstract: Believe it or not, Amazon's Kindle e-reader platform is 10 years old. And that anniversary is a perfect opportunity for Amazon to release its most feature-packed e-reader ever.The 2017 Kindle Oasis boasts a larger 7-inch E Ink screen and support for Audib...
