I freaking love my oasis. I bought it last year and it has absolutely changed my life. I have read more in the past year than I have in all of my life.
e-readers are awesome and i have an oasis. buuut it rubs me the wrong way they dont put micro SD slots on things so they can charge us a premium for a minimal amount of storage
Managed to get a second hand 10th Gen oasis for 75$. One of the best deals I've ever gotten. Loving the ergonomics and the buttons of this reader so far
I purchased mine fairly recently too and well, no regrets. I dont know why everyone makes such a huge deal about the battery life and the micro usb. The charge lasts a decent amount of time when left on airplane mode. It feels so premium, love the page turn buttons and the screen is nice. I leave this device for at-home reading. I don't regret thr purchase especially when certain aesthetic features are important to you. I'm looking forward to adding a boox palma into my line up soon. Thanks for the video 😊
I bought one the other day too; it's the fifth e-reader I've owned, and now I understand why everyone is a fan! It's so light and the asymmetrical design makes it a joy to hold. Not really minding the so-called "poor" battery life; I don't mind charging mine every other day or so (charging takes only about 40 minutes anyway). Thanks for this review, I feel validated in my purchase. Also I own a graphite version but the champagne gold is so pretty 😍
I absolutely LOVE my Oasis. Bummed they discontinued it in the US. I too have purchased several kindle ereaders over the years and they are all still working great. I use each of them in different situations/places. ☮️
I got mine in 2020 and so far I have no issue about the battery. I love this kindle sooooo much… P.s: the kindle paperwhite I got in 2015 still has the latter updates, so I’m that oasis will continue getting updates too.
I’m also a bit of a kindle collector. I bought the Oasis in 2019 and I also have a Paperwhite Signature and just bought a Scribe. Oasis is still my favorite. The buttons are such a nice feature! I hold kindles with my left hand a lot and have to either stretch my thumb to be able to turn the page on touch screens or use my other hand. With the buttons it’s just a simple click under my finger no matter which way I hold it. I really hope Amazon brings back physical buttons into their line up. Right now the downside I have with my Oasis is the battery life. It does not hold a charge nearly as well as the other kindles. I have to charge it every couple days with heavy use.
Thank you for clarifying some device differences. I have iPad Pro and an Oasis. I do most of my “reading” through Audible on my iPhone, but QVC advertised 2024 Paper White kindle which has the items I employ to justifying upgrading on watches, iPads and iPhones… better battery life, faster page turns-and most importantly USB-C charging. So, I think I’ll order a Paper White 2024 for home reading and keep my Oasis (love those navigation buttons) for daily commuting.
got my oasis 3 in graphite color 32gb yesterday and i love to read manga/comics. i love oasis 3 its a game changer because of the page turner plus the premium feels 😊
I’m actually thinking of switching to the Paperwhite from the Oasis because the Oasis is really slippery for me and the ergonomic holder does not work well for my small hands. And as others have said, the battery really never has charged to 100% for me. I hope that Amazon will come out with a new Kindle with buttons because that is the main reason I got the Oasis in the first place to replace my Kindle 3 that I had for forever.
I expect we will see a smaller Scribe as a replacement for Oasis. Not sure how they are going to price it between the scribe and the Paperwhite signature though.
Very helpful Kristina, thanks for your review. I am about to purchase a Kindle Oasis 2019 to replace my Oasis 2017. It's end of line, but I love the Kindle Oasis. and the physical buttons.
I have an Oasis (2020) and a Kindle Paperwhite (2017). Both work great as I take care of my tech. I use my Oasis as a daily driver. I’m curious about the Colorsoft, as I read graphic novels, which would justify that purchase. Even if I got one, I’d still use my oasis and just rotate kindles based on utility.
Could you please let me know if it supports manga? I’m having to replace my 2011 kindle because the Amazon store no longer supports manga on it. I really like the oasis, but I don’t want to get another kindle, only for my manga to not be supported.
@ thanks for letting me know! I’m really reluctant to give up my turn page buttons, but didn’t want to jump to another model for it to also be defunct.
I literally can not understand WHY they discontinued the oasis. I just got a Kobo color bc I wanted the buttons (and color), but I think I'm gonna regret not having kindle unlimited 😭
Just found your channel and very happy with the way you describe functions. I have a 10th generation oasis and would love to have a second one since they are discontinued. Can you recommend any other sites to purchase one since Amazon doesn’t have any except the international version? Thanks for the information you provided and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
I bought mine today and the "discontinuation" just pushed me to do it... but also as a left handed person, I don't want to struggle with holding my kindle.
So glad it was helpful! I should have said that you do not need multiple kindles! I’m just crazy! I would suggest getting one that Amazon will continue to update for longer. Not sure how long they will continue to update the oasis!
I still have a really old Kindle Keyboard, 10th gen Oasis, Signature and an older Kindle Fire that is used for Amazon Prime as well as books. I have a different book downloaded on all but the keyboard one. Not sure if I want to keep the Oasis as the newer ones are faster and the new little 6” one looks like a great one to carry around everywhere. I still have the Keyboard one just because it was my first kindle but it is useless after Amazon quit supporting it. I see that happening with the Oasis. Still not sure what I want to do.
Girl I love reading 📚 I didn't always. I have the kindle fire. But I would rather the feel of a book in my hands. Down side, I'm running out of places to store them on my bookshelf and hubbys wouldn't let me have another 😢
I didn’t even notice the battery life on the Oasis until everyone started talking about, it doesn’t bother me tho. I mean, I charge my phone every day soooo, 7-8 days before charging the kindle is acceptable
I freaking love my oasis. I bought it last year and it has absolutely changed my life. I have read more in the past year than I have in all of my life.
E-readers have been life changing for me too!

Managed to get a second hand 10th Gen oasis for 75$. One of the best deals I've ever gotten.
Loving the ergonomics and the buttons of this reader so far
I got this same kindle oasis and I keep mine in airplane mode. It helps save the battery life so much.
I keep all mine on airplane mode unless I need to sync or download something. It helps battery life immensely!
I just got mine last week from Unclaimed Baggage and I love her. She is beautiful
Team Oasis! I traded in an old Kindle Fire and got 30% off I think. So glad I got it. I have a collection too

I love my oasis, my favorite kindle ever. And that’s saying a lot because I’ve had 8 of them.
I got mine in 2020 and so far I have no issue about the battery.

I’ve heard that about the battery. Hopefully they come up with an oasis-like newer kindle soon!

I did get a kindle oasis recently no regrets I love it. I do agree the software update but I had to get it
Same, girl, same. It’s just a great device!

Did they discontinue the store? I am under WiFi but no books pop on in store.
Congratulations! I'm waiting my k. Oasis too. Coming soon in 1 week.
Could you please let me know if it supports manga? I’m having to replace my 2011 kindle because the Amazon store no longer supports manga on it. I really like the oasis, but I don’t want to get another kindle, only for my manga to not be supported.
It does! Newer model models do too!
@ thanks for letting me know! I’m really reluctant to give up my turn page buttons, but didn’t want to jump to another model for it to also be defunct.
Hello from México: maybe you mention but If you did, I missed it : does this device is capable to read pdf and epub files?
I believe it can!
I literally can not understand WHY they discontinued the oasis. I just got a Kobo color bc I wanted the buttons (and color), but I think I'm gonna regret not having kindle unlimited 😭

That’s a great feature as well. I’m glad you found one!
Omg I have all the same Kindle's as you!! Lol can't wait for the colors e-ink to come out!!
I have been thinking of giving an oasis so this was helpful. My first kindle is older than my kids lol.
So glad it was helpful! I should have said that you do not need multiple kindles! I’m just crazy! I would suggest getting one that Amazon will continue to update for longer. Not sure how long they will continue to update the oasis!

I’m getting a kindle scribe. I love notebooks and I have bought plenty of kindles I’m a collector as well.
I really like the scribe but can’t really find a use for it, as I don’t have a desire to annotate my books. But it looks really cool!
Can you please tell me how to get the book cover on my lock screen? Thank you!!
Does it let you put epub books on it ? Or books from z library?
Please don't judge me 😅
Yes
Why am I just finding you 😩. I’m here now. 😂
Well I’m here at your channel too! Just subscribed! ❤️❤️
Girl I love reading 📚 I didn't always. I have the kindle fire. But I would rather the feel of a book in my hands. Down side, I'm running out of places to store them on my bookshelf and hubbys wouldn't let me have another 😢
The provide updates for at least 4 years after the kindle release date
I love mine ……had it for a few years
Love my Kindle Paperwhite!
I love mine too!
Boox go 7 replaced my Oasis this week.
I haven’t seen much about the Boox … looking it up now!
I have that same one. Luv it.
you didn't mention the battery life sucks on the Oasis.
Everyone has been telling me that! I haven’t noticed it yet, but fearing the time when I do!
Yes, my only complaint. I have a 9th generation.
I didn’t even notice the battery life on the Oasis until everyone started talking about, it doesn’t bother me tho. I mean, I charge my phone every day soooo, 7-8 days before charging the kindle is acceptable
