Kindle Oasis Review: Product Features Overview
Self-Publishing with Dale
Reviews with images
From 2014 Paperwhite to 2019 Oasis
So I've been using a Kindle Paperwhite since 2014 and absolutely loved it. Despite it being five years old, it still worked great and has been a pleasure as a reading device. I've been debating the idea of upgrading to a new Kindle for a few months- and a few weeks ago Amazon had a really nice deal that allowed you to trade in your old Kindle for twenty-five bucks AND get 25% off the purchase of a new Kindle. So, despite the fact that my old Paperwhite worked just fine, I decided to upgrade to the brand new 2019 Kindle Oasis. I liked the idea of the color-changing LEDs for nighttime reading plus the benefit of having it be waterproof for when I read at the beach. I placed my order and shipped my old Kindle back to Amazon.I've been reading with my new Kindle for about two weeks, and my reactions have been mixed. In some ways, the Kindle Oasis is definitely an upgrade over my old Paperwhite. In other ways, it seems like Amazon swayed too far from the formula of what makes their e-readers great. For the sake of this review, I'll be comparing the performance of the new 2019 Oasis to my old Paperwhite. I'll also make comments about how the Oasis compares against the current Paperwhite, which is likely a much better option for the vast majority of people seeking an e-reader. It should be noted that I also ordered Amazon's nice Merlot leather cover... I'll review that too.Battery Life:Some people have complained about the battery life of the new Kindle Oasis. I'll say that the battery definitely doesn't last as long as a Paperwhite. My old Paperwhite's battery was still excellent, even at five years old. My old Paperwhite had to be charged every 5-6 weeks based on my use. After two weeks of reading, my Oasis's battery says that it's at 52%. It's not a big difference, but it is noticeably less than the much cheaper Paperwhite. (That said, I think the larger screen that likely consumes more battery life is well worth the fact that I'll have to charge it every four weeks verses six for the Paperwhite) For the price premium, it would have been nice if Amazon included a battery that held a charge at least as long as the Paperwhite though.The LEDs and Night Mode:This is perhaps the best upgrade between my old Paperwhite and the new Oasis. I often read before bed- and tend to do so with the lights off so that my wife can sleep. With my old Paperwhite, the blue-hue LEDs were not easy on my eyes when reading in the dark. That has all changed with the Oasis and it's night mode. It allows you to change the LEDs from a blue hue to a yellowish hue that makes it a lot more comfortable to read in the dark. I LOVE this feature and might even argue that the price premium of the Oasis is worth it just for that feature. It's fully customizable so that you can find the color/hue that works best for you. You can also schedule it so that it automatically switches at a certain time. That's handy, even though it only takes about five seconds to switch it manually.Speaking of the LEDs, there is one feature that drives me nuts about the Kindle Oasis. The auto brightness feature is extremely annoying. It's extremely sensitive and seems to constantly auto adjust even when the room's lighting is consistent. Over the first few hours of reading in my dining room, the auto brightness consistently changed over and over again ever thirty seconds or so- which is extremely annoying when you are trying to read. My solution was to just turn off the auto-brightness setting. To me, this is inexcusable in a premium e-reader. My 2014 Paperwhite's auto brightness setting worked fine. Somehow with all the extra features and new design, Amazon made this feature less user-friendly in the Oasis.Comfort / Basis Design:Okay- this is purely a subjective topic- but I think that the overall design of the Kindle Oasis is far inferior to the Paperwhite. The fact that there is a large bump-out on the back for the battery along one side means that the Kindle is not balanced in your hand as you read. My old Paperwhite- and the current one for that matter- was 100% balanced when held in one hand. The Oasis isn't balanced- which means that as I read, I'm frequently distracted by the fact that the devide is leaning to one side or the other, depending on orientation. To add to this issue, the Oasis seems to be a lot heavier than my old Paperwhite.Response / Screen Response / Display:This is something that is, for the most part, is vastly superior compared to my old Paperwhite. The touch response of the Oasis is lightning fast in terms of page turns, when you are browsing your library, or looking for a new book in the Kindle Store. There is one exception: It's annoyingly slow when you first unlock it and have to slide your finger along the bottom. In terms of the display quality- it's crystal clear, crisp, and impressive for an e-reader. The larger 7" display might not seem like a large upgrade over the Paperwhite's 6" display- but its makes a big difference if you use your Kindle regularly. Now that I'm used to a 7" screen, the Paperwhite's smaller display seems tiny- even though it worked just fine for me for five years before I upgraded. Lastly, the page turn buttons are user-friendly and well-designed. You can also use the touchscreen to turn the pages, but I found that the buttons were more comfortable to use.Inexcusable Drawbacks:First, you get a charger cable, but not the wall outlet adapter... Considering that you're buying a premium e-reader, that's just ridiculous. You shouldn't have to pay an extra twenty bucks to buy this- it should be included. Seriously, how much more could those little chargers cost Amazon to include? Second, I understand the advertising on the cheaper Paperwhite. Why must I pay an additional twenty bucks to avoid ads on a two hundred and fifty dollar e-reader? Really- the fact that these two things cost extra is inexcusable.Lastly, I want to comment about the Merlot Leather Cover that Amazon sells. This isn't a review on the cover, but a comment about how the design of the Oasis really makes it hard to design a decent cover. I debated on whether or not I should buy it or if it was even worth the price that Amazon wants for it- but decided to go for it considering that I'll probably keep this e-reader for five years or so before upgrading again. That said, I really don't like it because it doesn't fit the Oasis very well. Sure, the Oasis fits snugly into the case, but when you open it and fold the cover back, the binding isn't tight so it flexes and moves a little as you read. In addition, because of the Oasis's battery notch in the back, there is a 1/4" gap between the front cover and the actual Oasis for about 60% of the Kindle back. The causes the binding to shift even more- which is annoying. This never was a problem for my Amazon-brand Paperwhite case from 2014. Again- this is likely more due to the design of the Oasis than the design of the cover.Overall, you really need to consider if the Oasis is worth spending twice as much as a Paperwhite. If you read A LOT and would benefit from the LEDs that change from blueish to yellowish, then the Oasis might be worth it for you. If you don't really care about the color-changing LEDs, then the Paperwhite is likely the better option. Most of the best features of the Oasis can be found in the current Paperwhite. They both are waterproof, they both have great displays, they both have bluetooth audio capability, and they both have great battery life (the Paperwhite is likely even better than the Oasis). Unless you are a serious daily reader- or can take advantage of a deal like I did, the Paperwhite is likely the e-reader that makes more sense.
