  • Abstract:  And yet Amazon has succeeded in upgrading the Kindle quite brilliantly. The Kindle Oasis – which at £330 for its top model is considerably more expensive than an iPad Mini 2 – comes with a free-for-life 3G connection for downloading books, a high-resoluti...

  • There's no doubt that the Kindle Oasis is technically the best eReader you can get. Amazon has done a great job with the new design which is impressively small, light and ergonomic. The cover is a nice touch too and adds additional battery life to boot. A...

  • The Kindle Oasis is the best ebook reader that money can buy – Period. The sticking point for many of you will be its $290 price tag. Is that expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. If you're an avid reader who takes your ebooks seriously and wants to enjo...

  • If money is no object, then Amazon's latest Kindle e-reader is a must-have. The new smaller square shape means the Kindle is even easier to slip into your handbag, and with a choice of button or touchscreen there are two ways to turn the page, meaning you...

  • Beautiful design, Excellent battery life, Good display
  • Expensive
  • If you like nice things, use your eReader constantly and can happily stomach paying £270 for a device which, practically speaking, does the job of something half its price (the Paperwhite and its leather case will set you back £134 at present), then the K...

  • expensive; cover slightly ruins the ereader's balance; not waterproof
  • The Kindle Oasis is a wonderful ereader and is a pleasure to use. Its asymmetrical design is the biggest jump forward for any Kindle yet.Matthew ReynoldsBut that doesn't make it worth £270. The Kindle Paperwhite costs less than half that and is still an e...

  • Light weight design, fast page turns, great battery cover, lovely even lighting, premium feel
  • Price, no adaptive front light
  • The Kindle Oasis is easily the best Kindle, offering an experience that outshines its Kindle family. If it wasn't for the omission of an adaptive front light, we'd be able to say it's the most technically accomplished Kindle too. The design is stran...
