Totally agree on both. If you're going to get a Kindle, I recommend the Oasis--it's so much better than the other ones and worth the money if you read a decent amount. The yellow backlight is much easier on the eyes than the blue one.
- edanm 6y agoReally? I'm surprised that you think the Oasis is worth the higher price considering just how much higher that price is. What other reasons would you recommend it for?
- eigenvalue 6y agoIt’s water resistant which is very useful for me. I also like the physical buttons for changing the page— I often disable the touch screen so I don’t accidentally change the page and appreciate having the physical control, which the Paperwhite doesn’t have. Also the screen is higher resolution so everything looks nicer.
- JHonaker 6y agoI have had a Paperwhite for years, probably close to 10. I recently upgraded to an Oasis for my 30th birthday. It was an incredible improvement. The noticeably bigger screen is crisp and incredibly responsive. I and my wife had just gotten used to the delay of everything on the PW. Additionally the brightness is much more fine grained in your control: there a many more brightness settings, and you can adjust it on a scale of harsh blue-white like the PW or a soft orange glow depending if you’re reading in the middle of the day or to try to abate your insomnia like I do. I liked it so much, and my wife mentioned that she’d like one for Christmas so many times, that I just bought her one.
