Expensive for an ebook reader
You must buy your books from Amazon
It's still not waterproof

The Oasis is designed to enable the best reading experience by just getting out of the way. From the incredible thinness and the ergonomic grip to the 131g featherweight and 8-week battery, everything comes together so you can just keep reading. It's real...

Abstract: Amazon announced their flagship e-reader, the Kindle Oasis, back in April Beyond the best-in-industry 300 ppi screen that it shares with the Kindle Voyage and Paperwhite, the Oasis features a unique form factor, 10 LEDs, and an included leather charging c...
Abstract: I'm a huge fan of my Kindle Paperwhite. I bought it about a year ago and have cruised through dozens of books, reading night and day. It has, until the moment I set my hands on the Kindle Oasis, filled my every need for an eReader.The Paperwhite is light...
When I tell people that I bought a $360 Kindle, they look at me like I'm crazy. Obviously, the Kindle Oasis isn't for everybody when you can get an iPad Air 2 for a few dollars more.I feel like I mention this in every review that I write, but different th...

Slim, smart design, Rammed with features, Great display, Leather cover with extra battery
Expensive, Adaptive lighting culled
The Kindle Oasis is our favourite Kindle model so far, despite the lack of adaptive brightness. That slim and light build, along with the battery-packing cover, make this the most desirable eReader we've ever clutched.Unfortunately you'll have to dig deep...

Slimmer, sleeker, and altogether more usable design pushes the Kindle lineup forward, Redesigned body and physical buttons make it incredibly comfortable for one-handed use, Ten-LED frontlight is nice and even, Included battery case looks nice and extends
Shorter battery life when separated from its case, No ambient light sensor, which is strange since this is a feature on the cheaper Kindle Voyage

Abstract: Amazon is out of its mind, and yet for some reason I'm considering opening my wallet and spending hundreds of dollars on a Kindle Oasis . The company's new flagship ereader wows first with design, then with sticker-shock: closest yet in Amazon's quest to...
Comfortable form factor, with excellent physical page-turn buttons, Bright, sharp display, Mature software and excellent ecosystem, between Amazon's store and other supported formats
Flat-out expensive, Still saddled with Kindle Special Offers, which cost $20 to remove, No support for audiobook playback
With its sublime design, bright screen, and innovative battery cover, the Oasis is the best e-book reader we've used to date, but the price is awfully high for incremental improvements—and Special Offers still lurk. Read More…...
Thin, Weighs next to nothing without the cover, Feels great reading with one hand
Expensive, No adaptive backlight, Not waterproof
