I preferred holding the Paperwhite with both hands, but the Oasis is much more comfortable to use one-handed.Ī lot of that has to do with the weight: 10g may not seem like a lot, but it makes a difference when you're holding the e-reader for several hours at a time. The Oasis' design takes a while to get acclimated, but after a week or two you'll start getting used to the asymmetric body.
Listening to audiobooks over Bluetooth will also result in the battery life taking a hit, but you should be able to get two to three weeks' worth of usage with ease.Ĭoming from a Paperwhite, I love the Oasis' design - the asymmetric body, larger display, and the physical page turn buttons. That's with at least two hours' of reading time daily. In the two months I used the Oasis, I averaged roughly two weeks between charges. There's plenty to like here if you're coming from a Paperwhite.Īmazon advertises a six-week battery life for the Oasis - with a 30-minute daily usage - but battery longevity is entirely down to how much you use the e-reader. Another new addition with the Oasis is water resistance, which means you'll be able to use the e-reader near a pool without any issues. The Kindle Oasis also comes with Audible integration, but as the device lacks a headphone jack, you'll have to pair a Bluetooth speaker or headphones to the device to listen to your favorite audiobooks.
