There are e-Readers, and then there is the Kindle Oasis, the premium Kindle offered by Amazon that touts extra features and a premium build not found on other Kindle models. The Oasis is by far one of the most expensive eReaders on the market and the most expensive in the Kindle line.
In this video, we’re going to be taking a closer look at the Amazon Kindle Oasis. We’ll be going over key features, who this product is for, how it compares to the other Kindle models, and whether it’s worth paying more to get the Kindle Oasis.
We’ll break down all the aspects of Amazon’s Kindle Oasis, and what you can expect to get in return for your money. We’ll help you decide if this premium eReader is the right option for you.

Why cant they allow the book cover to be the screen saver? Covers mean a lot!
True! this also makes us feel like we're holding a physical book.
Yes! there was an e reader that did that
The screensavers are probably the worst part of the kindle for me, I realise a lot of them are pencil or pens but honestly, the black and white, close up photography makes it look like bullets. I wish they’d picked photos that are better suited to black and white.
They just added the feature!
I'm currently using a Kindle Keyboard (K3). There is a popular hack that I have installed that does just that.
It seems to me like there is very little progress generation on generation for e-ink readers. The only real upgrade over the first gen seems to be the warmth of the light and the waterproofing (the latter of which came at the cost of the awesome charging cover), which makes this one of the few tech gadgets that is a worthwhile investment that won't become obsolete in a year.
Great review but if I may offer some input. It would have been very informative for me to see how big the oasis is in your hand. Just seeing it on display like that makes it look huge.
It is!
This video is exactly what I needed! I’m going to get one!
I bought oasis in 2018. I suppose it’s one of the best ever. Read with joy each and every day.
Can you use the experimental web browser on any website on Oasis? That is why I bought the Kindle 3G keyboard- it was worth a lot to me coz of that. Nowadays I just use a PC + hit the public library services instead. Better for books, magazines and video.
Nice review. Thanks!
Great video! Great voice on narrator! Just a little expensive. I’ll stick to my PaperWhite
Thank you for the review. I have a Oasis but not the latest 2020 version. It seems like the warmer light is the main difference between what I have and the new model. That is not enough of a difference to make me switch. One of the key features that no review seems to mention is the ability to cut off the touch screen and just use the buttons to flip pages. I find this feature alone almost worth the price. My other kindles like the paper white etc. used to sometimes jump multiple pages when using the touch screen. It happened often enough to be irritating. Also using this option not to use touch screen you can use your fingers to speed read. Also the Oasis is lighter. When reading for a long time you can notice a difference.
Warm light actually disrupts sleep more than blue light.
@@Sapientiaa Source?
A fantastic idea for the slippery kindle oasis. Just stick strips of clear Sellotape on the back. It looks nice too and easy to peel off too
Might buy the next Kindle oasis I love the Kindle Paperwhite just upgraded to the new Kindle Paperwhite gonna give my friend my old Kindle Paperwhite
Sold my voyage to buy this kindle, in my opinion yes its a good upgrade
I bought a 32Gb Oasis so I could listen to my audiobooks, I go to sleep listening to the books. Imagine my surprise when I find out the top of the range model does NOT feature a sleep timer.
Amazon appear to show little interest in doing anything about that. I could have saved myself a substantial sum by NOT buying the 32Gb model.
The reading dynamics are superb, I just feel badly let down by the fact Amazon do NOT tell anyone of this lack.
Can we use ebook and Audible (same book) at the same time?
Are you able to listen to an audiobook and follow along with the text at the same time?
why the hell would i use a kindle for an audio book when I have an iphone in my pocket
Then why get a kindle at all? There’s an app
anjhap no it’s totally different
My thoughts exactly. Who buys these for audio books. Completely irrelevant almost. It is for the reading experience and the paper-like look. Personally I don't do audio books. May try it some day if I am really bored but I just can't imagine someone else reading my book for me. Seems....odd
The immersive mode of audiobook can only be accessed from the app version on iPhone/iPad/android, anyway.
It just feels more natural to buy a kindle.
Snagged one for $170CAD ($130USD) used on Amazon. Great buy at that price.
I never understood why would you want an audio book on you e-READER
Really? Perhaps your phone is charging, or low on battery. Maybe you need to conserve battery on your phone. Maybe you don't have a mobile phone? etc etc
because its still an audioBOOK, jackass
@@MrDLTH-cam
>maybe you don't have a mobile phone?
Considering the price of an Oasis I highly doubt that, unless the phone is not around you.
As much as I get this, I also get why they have the feature on there with it been so expensive.
What I don't get is why I don't have the option to not have audiobooks on there if I do wish, as they sync over automatically if you have both the book and the audio book version cluttering up my otherwise OCD organised library.
I personally only use my phone for audio books as I always have it on me anyway and it's smaller so saves carrying a secondary device, and the Kindle for relaxing at home or holiday so I have no use for the additional files.
Ikr
Great video
Best review out there
Just saw the micro USB port and nope
same no usb c no buy.
Same
same
Why is this so necessary? Just faster charging?
@Year 2020 A thing with USB C is not just faster charging but prolonged lifetime of the plug, as well as plugging in with whatever side of the plug. Added to the fact that it's expensive and lot of phones and even game consoles today are switching to C.
Is it necessary to protect the screen by putting the matt finish screen guard?
I have just bought a kindle oasis 10th generation.
I bought the kindle oasis in replacement of my paperwhite.
My paperwhite had a habit of running out of battery even when I’m not using it at all, and it keeps restarting by itself. Also, i had a hard time turning the pages... i would repeatedly touch the screen for it to go to the next page.
Now i love my Oasis!!
This sounds like a paid advertisement from Amazon.
Man! I want one, but $250 is just so expensive.
IF it supports connection to websites without wifi, it's worth it for me. However, I can't find out if they've restored that feature, as we used to have on the Kindle Keyboard 3G.
Hi. Thanks for the review. Can you please tell me if you can actually write in text documents on Kindle Oasis? Like in a doc file. I can't seem to find the answer online.
No you can’t
Oh yeah. Despite the luck luster battery compared to Paperwhite 4, Oasis commands the best reading experience. Ever.
I love my oasis but I want color e ink
I guess these prices are USA? In Canada the basic kindle is $119 - kindle paperwhite is $139 and the kindle oasis is $359
Where the kobo libra h2O offers about the same at $199
Sheena Frederick the oasis has multiple models, the price that you listed would go down about 100 dollars depending on the features you get. If you get 8 gb without lte data, it costs 100 dollars less.
Like the big screen, but I don't like the odd shape or the physical buttons. That side with the buttons bezel is stupid huge. I hope the next version goes back to proportionate bezels and no buttons.
I bought my first kindle about 9 years, or maybe more, as soon as Amazon started shipping to Australia. I loved the text to speech and was disappointed when I upgraded to a paperwhite and found that it didn’t have this function. It also gave one the choice of male or female voice, so I wonder why they stopped putting this function on any kindle. I now have three kindles, don’t know why I bought them when one can only use one at a time, silly me. But I can’t decide if I should upgrade to an Oasis. I don’t need to have waterproof or ‘safe in the sun’. I’m too old to go to the beach etc. I have chronic arthritis plus medication side effects and can’t hold a book, and I love books, so I am grateful for all my devices, don’t you love technology? Plus if the cost of a new kindle is out of my price range, that would decide what I do. Anyway...I love my kindles!
Maybe audible on a computer
Also I hope your althrotus gets better
The Kindle Oasis if for you
It's light as a Feather!
and has a Bigger Screen (which is why I bought it)
Just use audible on your phone or the new kindle
I have two kindles..the original kindle which I bought in 2012 and the kindle paper white .I use only the latter,now three years old and its one of most favourite devices.
For me it is worth saving up for just because I am left-handed and I own a Kindle paperwhite and it is made for a right handed people
U didnt mention about format that this device support
Me want it!!!!
Can't you make phone calls with the new Kindle? The adds say "cellular service" Or? is that just wifi basically for searching Amazon and buying things
Can you download an audiobook from the public library onto the Oasis?
Yes but you have to connect your amazon to the Libby app on your phone and then borrow a book
Thank you.
I love reading and i love my kindle. It is only a 4th gen but do you know what do i have built in ? Page turn buttons :D
Does anyone know whether the 10th generation Oasis Kindle lacks the internal magnetic that the 9th generation case has to Wake/Shut-Off the device?? I noticed my 9th generation case with magnetic cover does not hold the 10th generation at all AND the Wake/Shut-Off feature doesn’t not work. Just wanted to ensure the 10th generation I received is not a defect. Thanks.
The magnets are placed differently in the oasis 3 to previous models so cases for those models wouldn't work with it
sure wish they'd bring physical page turn buttons back to the cheaper kindles... i'd buy this but i actually like the mass paperback size kindles that can easily fit in my pocket.
I've been using my Kobo Libra 2, which has such a great reading experience, but it has no easy way to get your notes or highlights off it.
nice content
My biggest frustration with the Paperwhite is the poor photograph & illustration quality. I find myself using the kindle app on my iPad to see these properly. Is there a kindle model that provides good quality photos & graphic quality?
iPad battery is just 24 hour,
Kindle e-ink battery last for 4 weeks...
I’m geting myself my first kindle Kindle Oasis Essentials Bundle includes Kindle Oasis 7" E-reader (32 GB, Gold), Amazon Leather Cover (Merlot), and Amazon 9W Power Adaptor, it’s tody £258 but can I use it even in places that don’t have singles like can I use it offline? And can I download ebooks from z-library even i share my Amazon prime membership with my parent? If I download ebooks successfully would I get into trouble with Amazon’s causeing the account and member to shut down? Can I use audible alone with my kindle prime membership?
Does anyone know if the kindle has the option to use a black screen (with white fonts of course)? The option is available on the Android version of the Kindle. It makes night time (or dark) reading non-intrusive to others, such as at home, or during a long haul flight.
Yes you can
@@JohnDonasco -- Thanks a bunch for your feedback.
Is the screen only black and white?
I would like to buy it for studying, can I write on the books?
Can I use an electronic pin on it?
Please if you are a Kindle owner I would really need your advice.
mneetool m
hi
yes it is only in black n white
you can’t write on it
The screen has 16 shades of grey, so no colour. You can't freely write on the books with some kind of pen, but you can highlight a word or a block of text and you can add a note via an on-screen keyboard, whick leaves a note symbol on the text next to the word. All highlights and notes will be easily accessed and are all organised in one place and you also have the option to export them.
Hi. Kindle products use an e-ink which simulates how a printed page looks, as such, it is in shades of black and gray, not color. I too, would love to use my kindle for studying, but it isn't a good solution. My recommendation, solely for studying, and not for recreational or casual reading, is to buy a cheap tablet and install Amazon's kindle app on it. You can then have full color resolution and touch screen features, including whatever write-on screen software the tablet has. If you use a stylus, it becomes fairly easy to highlight and leave notes in the book you are reading. I have an old kindle paperwhite, so old, it doesn't even have any of the features the basic kindle paperwhites on the market have now. I'm going to upgrade to an oasis, for recreational/casual reading. I'm a big reader, so it is worth the investment for me. For studying I use a samsung touchscreen chromebook. It's a little pricey, at around $500, but with it, I can use the kindle app and do all of the things I described above, along with using the internet in a browser easily, for everything convenient online. In my opinion, the touchscreen chromebook is more powerful, if less universal, than your average tablet. I hope that helps.
I need to pay most of my debt so I can get this Kindle.. I'm a book nerd, reading is my passion. So it would be awesome if I could invest in this.
A used 6th or 7th Gen Paperwhite is just enough, believe me. I got a 6th Gen Paperwhite off of eBay for 40$ and it's flawless, not a single scratch on it, it even came with a case. Holds thousands of books, screen is very clear and crisp, and it was cheap as chips. Why buy a new e-reader, when there are so many on the used market that are barely used because the reality is that most people don't read that much, and they eventually sell their devices for very cheap because they simply did not use them.
It’s a serious waste of money for what it is. I have the Oasis 8. Way overpriced.
@@alex72194 what he said!
Одна из самых лучших книг по эргономики 👍👍👍
Kobo has 25 lights as well.
I just got mine this week and I was a bit disappointed. It is too big for my small hands to hold with ease (I had the Oasis 1 before, but the batterie gave out), and the edges are pretty sharp. I‘ve ordered a cover now, hope that it helps.
Busted my Oasis. Q.Q
Does the entry level oasis really not have wifi?
Title suggest it's a review about the 2020 version, which is not the case. Looks like a clickbait.
No usb c ...
no buy
Can we use audiobook and ebook simultaneously ?
I want to know this! Also is there text to speech? I am visually impaired and this helps me ease my eyes but still comprehend.
They have text to voice called VoiceView. You can both read and listen with the Voice view. You can't read and listen to an audiobook, so no interactive reading. I use the voiceview a lot and it works. It is a little difficult to use, though.
Can you browse websites on 4G w/ the 20 year old 'Experimental Web Browser' like you could with the Kindle 3G?
That was innovative because you could get off the plane and hit (at the time) Yahoo Messenger by web site, message your friends and let them know you had arrived without having to stop in the damned airport to buy a new SIM for your stupid-smart phone. It worked in Japan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Finland... any country I traveled to.
Hopefully, decades from now we'll have an experience as useful as this on the hinternet again!
Or does this device perhaps bring us back to 2011 level functionality?
how to support kindle oasis google play?
MicroUSB🤢🤮
Can SIMPLY E app eork with it
Apparently Audible is not available on the Australian version.
It is all based on which website you are registered. If you register to the Amazon USA you have access to audible.
hare you tried the kobo forma? nope, I guess not.
Video was well made, but didn’t have anything to do with 2020. This same video could have been posted in 2019 right when the Kindle Oasis 3 came out and it would have made no difference.
Yes, and IMIO the title therefore is misleading. I would really like to have a video about the value of the Oasis 3 in 2020, but this evaluation is not given in this video, in spite of its title.
Agreed. Makes me think he only put the year 2020 to get more views.
28 hours my old mobile battery can last more than that :D zoink
Also, removing additional battery option in the case was a big mistake too
No USB C? I'll wait
Does this have backlight?
Yes
Yes, it also allows you to adjust the warm light spectrum
Wait what? When did they come out with a 2020 edition??
They haven't. It's the 2019 version
I live in Egypt but i wanna discount to buy
Onyx boox nova pro is better
More screen real state 7.8 inch
Same 300 e ink Carta display
Can handle almost all ebook formates
Drag and drop functionality
Android system
Very responsive Wacom touch tablet
And on top you can download Kindle app.
Cons:the batteries just 10 days to 2 weeks.
I started with e readers on 2014 with Kindle basic the Kindle touch which I still own and like. I didn't find any cause to update all this year's. I might have think to upgrade to the 2nd paperwhite but stii I find it small. When the oasis first released I thought of it but still 7 inch and reads only Amazon ebook formates. So I looked for readers that can handle ebub that is when I stumbled apon onyx nova pro. It is amazing really the big screen, drag and drop functionality and can handle epub, Moby, azw3, PDF, chm... etc
Paperwhite 5 coming this September. Don’t ask me how I know, I work at amazon.
is there somethinbg new?
USB C?
Can’t disclose any more, sorry
Can’t disclose any more, sorry. I can tell you that the official announcement will be on September
@@roshanbaig2 No problem bro. The good thing is that it'll come out soon. Meanwhile, stay safe!!
It's not usb type c?
No, it is type B :(
@@some5794 it’s micro-usb not usb-B
That soumds like an ad rather than a review.
I don't understand.. what is the purpose of getting a kindle device when you can just download the kindle app on PC or on your iphone for free? just for portability?
It's for the screen
Portability, and for better reading experience.
It's like cars: a ford fiesta will get you to your destination just like a Mercedes will, but which would you rather have?
To save your eyes
I do it for the focus. I find myself distracted with other devices.
Kindles use an e-ink display which looks like paper meaning that you can read in the sun without glare exactly like paper and honestly when i read for a long time on my phone i get a headache and kindles dont do that so ebook readers are great and a must have for anyone who reads a large volume of books without wanting to carry them on hand. You dont have to get the oasis the base model is more than good enough for any reading it its like 60 bucks
You completely ignored the obvious question/concern of the weirdly imbalanced mass, with the big step in the thickness. I'd like to know how unergonomic that is to hold.
No USB-C 😡
I want a 7 or 8 inch e-reader with no bezel please.
No thanks, I'm happy with my paper white.
TELL EM!
do you actually own one or just regurgitating company advertisements...
Why does it use USB type C port?
Cos it's better. Avery device should have it.
Too much, bring the price down to £150.
I would buy it, but the design is just kinda ugly
$250, and micro-usb's a bit much. I'd think about it if it was USB-C
A MASSIVE FAIL, the top of the range Kindle Oasis (32 Gb) doesn't even have a sleep timer. I only bought the 32 version so I could go to sleep listening to my audiobooks on a bluetooth ear bud. Guess what? No timer so it plays and plays totally wasting the battery for no good purpose.
Does it say ANYWHERE in the advertising or reviews - THERE IS NO TIMER? Well I've not seen it in writing or on any review.
So be aware.
That fact that it doesn't mention that is has a timer should be enough to tell you that it is not a feature.
Neither it says it has a timer :)
There is no such thing as a 2020 kindle oasis. Jesus Christ. no new models yet for 2020. You are reviewing a 2019 model. get your titles correct for heavens sake.
LOL.. Tell us how you really feel...
Slow down.
Ugh why add 2021 to the title of a video from early 2020? Boooo
I do not see the need for this video when there was a million out already
Heidi S I do not see the need for videos about birds when there are already a million out already. I’m not serious about that statement by the way. People can produce videos on whatever they want especially if they enjoy producing and posting them. Peace to you.
No, it's not worth it.
