Jesus Christ mate! One of the biggest benefits of an e-ink display is that you don't need LED's to make it visible in direct sunlight. It's quite the contrary, direct sunlight makes it the most visible.
I’ve owned 3 kindles-the signature paperwhite, the scribe, and the oasis. I used my oasis more than the others. I like the page turn buttons and the ergonomic grip. Hopefully they’ll make a new oasis
Except it doesn’t lay flat and isn’t weighted evenly. Paperwhite but with buttons would be better
@@davidkaplan5517 I don't see that as a problem when holding it in my hand. Its easier to hold when most of the weight is close to the hand.
@@_aullik except that’s not the only position you read could read in.
@@davidkaplan5517 absolutely correct. However that is the gimmick of the oasis and that is what people buy it for.
@@davidkaplan5517I have been reading on a kindle oasis for almost 4 years. It is sturdy laying on a table or on my bathtub table. Very comfortable to hold for hours at a time and just a joy to read on.
With a kindle you don’t need to crank up the brightness to be visible in sunlight. Even with 0 brightness, it is very much visible outdoors. If you’re using it outdoors, you don’t need a backlight at all like older kindle models.
Yeah, this video is full of things that aren't true. Anyone who owns the 2019 Oasis can tell you that the battery life is NOT 'good'.
I recently found a kindle oasis 8th gen for $5 at my local swap meet and it is in mint condition and it is the best reader I ever had. I replaced battery and it is even better now
Curious- what battery did you use ?
I just got one for $10 at a flea market- can’t wait to start using it! How hard was replacing the battery?
That was a great deal! I bought one four years ago for $300. Too small. Have barely used it.
DON'T turn up the brightness in direct sunlight like you do on your phone.
Sunlight actually illuminates the reader, because it's like paper.
In sunlight, you can turn OFF the light and therefore it needs no electricity unless you turn the page.
Only turn on the light if it gets dark.
I hope there is a new oasis model with a usb c charger. I wanted to get one but the micro usb port is a deal breaker.
Me as well! The oasis is my perfect Kindle but there's no way I'm getting it with micro usb charging 😭
@@beans2222Why? charge it when you sleep and you are good for weeks.
@@seanroge I just don't want a different charging cable, I don't care for wireless charging, but ALL my devices are usb-c and I have those cables all over my house, I'm not bringing in micro-usb just for one device
Can someone please explain to me why you need stronger backlight in direct sunlight where an E Ink display literally is a reflective panel and needs a backlight for the dark and not in the lighter conditions?
Why no USB-C slot on a premium device ?? Fail
Because it came out in 2019 and basically perfect so hasn’t been updated yet.
I've had multiple Kindles over the years and I used to work for Amazon supporting the Kindle. I've had everything from the original all the way through the oasis and by far my favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite. I've got two of them right now that still work but the battery doesn't last as long as the newer ones though. I just ordered the newest Kindle paperwhite which I should get sometime this week. The Oasis never held a candle to the paperwhite for me. It was awkward and the asymmetrical weight distribution just made it uncomfortable to read. Tried it for a couple weeks and then returned it.
Ebook reader that costs nearly 200 and works same slow like Kindle from ten years ago.
This
This is a commercial 😞
My 2012 paperwhite is slowing down a bit so I was looking at the oasis and reeelllyyy do not want to get it only because of the micro usb. I guess I’ll wait to see what happens or just get the new paperwhite because this device has been amazing.
The original generation 1 Kindle had HUGE page-turn buttons, dad had one I remember that. Why did they get rid of those buttons?
I was going to spend money on a boox palma. Glad I watched this vid because I didnt know I could install overdrive. Thanks!
Everyone SAYS the grip is meant to be ergonomic, but I don’t see it. Several years later and it’s still like trying to clutch a wet bar of soap. I think my fingers are too long to actually benefit from the “ergonomic” design so it instead just becomes an issue.
I have to use a case. The Amazon fabric one, with thumb on top, pointer between the front and back cover,and middle finger on bottom works great
The ergonomics comes into play more with weight distribution than grip.
Chassis is pronounced "cha-see"
Shasee

Shaq... See?
Brought a kindle oasis today great video 😊
it worthy the kindle oasis purchase if in 2024 amazon will release the new model ?
hmm i think it depends on you if you want the oasis asap or not. given that the kindle paperback was upgraded, kindle might think that the upgrade was enough for a couple of years. an oasis upgrade can follow in the late 2024 to early 2026.
Yeah, but how do you replace the battery in an older generation Kindle that doesn't have a door in the back?
None do, my original Kindle Touch still holds a charge.
@@seanroge😂😂😂
Why do you need Backlight in Sunlight? Its a Paperink Display. The do not need Light, only in dark conditions!
Helpful video, thank you!
So It is not a 2023 but still with a 2019 model? No new oasis 2023 usbC?? Rumors?
I have to understand it yet ahah
I dont want buy it if the next year will release the new oasis aha
There has been rumors since 2020 that there was going to be an update. Personally I find it to be about the perfect device.
@@carinisimoneI want one even tho it's an older device but I just know as soon as I buy it they will release a new one 😅
Just bought one from eBay. Gonna give my paperwhite to the wife
So, I'm not sure how much everyone else reads, but the battery life is NOT good. At BEST it is mediocre. Realistically it sucks. It's only 'good' if you never ever ever use the built in lighting. I'd also recommend that you DO NOT charge the kindle while reading, as this also seems to destroy the battery life.
I bought mine in December 2020, and I've been searching for information on how to replace the battery for about six months. It's December 2023, so 2.5 year battery life MAX if you read two or three hours a day.
the battery life tanks when you put new books on it since it indexes every word in everything loaded, once it stops doing that in the background after a day or 3 it goes bak to pretty solid
ive had my gen 2 oasis since 2017 and the battery still lasts for around 20hrs of constant reading with the lighting on constantly
the "6 weeks" advertised on most kindles is at 30 mins of reading a day
@@notvkn I wish that were the case with mine. It won't even charge past 85% anymore.
@@angrysarcasm2229 try recalibrating the battery, charge to full and leave for overnight then next time you use it use it till it dies completely it should fix the % being inaccurate
I think ipad can exclude the existence of kindle
I dont understand ppl who get the 32 or 64 GB models.
Each ebook is like 2MB.
I think its the same ppl who wear the no lens glasses to appear smarter who buy these versions.
Mangas and comics can get pretty heavy you know
Audiobooks are also bigger in size.
I always get the maximum memory because I have over 1,000 e-books and I want all of them immediately available even when Wi-Fi lis unavailable. I also have a large number of audio books that I have downloaded for the same reason.
Chasis is pronounced Chasee.........
Would you buy it in 2024?
Micro USB = Broken in 2 months. A Trash design, when USB 3 unbreakable connections are widely available in 2023 ...
USB 3 unbreakable my ass. My Nokia 8.3 lasted less than a year with it's broken USB port.
A properly built USB3 slot should last for years... Be Gentle ! :-) @@disbsam333
Have been using the Oasis for 4 years exclusively for reading books it is perfect. Have had no issues with the micro usb port.
@@seanrogemine Is 6 years old and also still works with no issues at all
Imagine buying a kindle in 2023 😭
imagine not reading 💀
😮 you don't read??
If you read books it’s the best e-reader.
i brought 4 diff sizes e -ink readers (2 kindles) from 2022-2023. lol
I want to read more. Ive only read 3 books in the past 10 months. What kindle is the best to get?
