With the simplicity of the experience and the devices the beauty of Kindle is that it's distraction free. When you're reading, there's no notifications popping up – no email, just you and your book and I really did love that. The battery life is outstandi...

Thin and light, Long battery life
No colour, Pricey
When it comes to reading, I do most of mind on large dual-screen monitors and as the hours tick by and night falls, my eyes often protest. The display on the Kindle is fundamentally different technology and means your eyes will be happy, even after hours...
The e-ink screen doesn't always feel as responsive as it should and environmental lighting remains a factor even if there are some cool gains in battery life to be found here. If you're looking to spent $400 on a dedicated e-reader, this is definitely the...
With similar performance to other e-readers that cost much less, we can't recommend Amazon's Kindle Oasis to everyone. But for voracious readers with a taste for luxury, this e-reader's light weight, excellent ergonomics, and even backlighting are wor...
So, should you buy one? I've got a few answers to this question. If you demand the very best out of every piece of hardware you own, cost be damned, then yes, you'll be happy with the Kindle Oasis. Despite the shortcomings of its cellular connectiv...
So thin, so light; Cover included in the box; Free cover includes a battery to recharge the reader; Great screen technology left over from the Kindle Voyage; Can be held in either hand, making it an ambidextrous eReader;
Expensive; Ads on the screensaver; No adaptive light feature for the front-lighting;
While the Oasis is very expensive, especially for an eReader, it has something no other eReader can currently lay claim to: that beyond the ubiquity that portable screens have already become, this does feel like a piece of the future.Strangely, you have t...
