The second gen Oasis has the quickest page turn speed out of any Kindle I have ever reviewed. Reflections on the new Paperwhite are so much improved and the feel of the glass is amazing. There are very narrow bezels on three sides of the 7-inch, 300ppi E Ink screen; one side right or left, depending on how you're holding it has a larger bezel with physical page turn buttons.

This can be used with books you own as well as books through the subscription-based Kindle FreeTime Unlimited program with kid-friendly books. Navigating the menus, library or accessing the store is lightning quick.

Amazon Kindle Oasis 2 vs Kindle Paperwhite 4

While many other gadget categories have been stamped out by smartphones, endure because they speak of focus, rest, and freedom from the world of alerts, multitasking, and intrusion. Is it a little more than most people need. But for serious bookworms, it's a delight, and our Editors' Choice for high-end e-readers. Amazon was seemingly thrilled with the fact that it could put a Paperwhite-sized 6-inch panel into a smaller form factor, so it created a tiny ebook reader that didn't have space for a significant battery. The new Oasis is just the right size —still shorter than the Paperwhite 6. More so than the Kindle, in fact, because the Oasis has a battery that bumps out like a handle for you to grip. The bigger battery allows for three weeks of reading at about an hour a day, according to Amazon. If you're coming from a or simply athe Oasis' radical design is very different, and quite delightful. It's made of smooth, but not slippery, metal on the back. The screen is perfectly flush to the front. There are very narrow bezels on three sides of the 7-inch, 300ppi E Ink screen; one side right or left, depending on how you're holding it has a larger bezel with physical page turn buttons. The reader has a touch screen, but you'll use the physical buttons more often than not. And yes, finally, this is a waterproof Kindle. We smeared our Oasis with chocolate syrup and rinsed it off don't use soap. We dropped it in a sink amazon kindle oasis 2 of water, and we took it in the bath. The screen has to remain dry while you're reading, because water can trigger the touch response in unexpected ways. But this is one place that the physical page turn buttons come in handy, as they let you turn pages with wet hands. Left to right: Kindle Oasis 2016, Kindle Oasis 2017 Can you take it to the beach. The Oasis is waterproofallowing for an hour's worth of dunking in six feet of fresh water. Firing Up Your Reading Most of the basic reading features you'll find on the Oasis, you'll find on any Kindle. That includes multi-device syncing, Goodreads integration, notes, bookmarks, and X-Ray to track characters throughout a book. The bigger, seven-inch screen gets you one more paragraph, usually, at the same font size, or a bigger font size, than other Kindles. That means fewer page flips. Text looks gorgeous on the 300ppi screen, but no more so than on the original Oasis, or on the Paperwhite, or on other 300ppi e-readers that use an E Ink Carta display. The Oasis has a slew of features to make its screen experience more pleasant. Pages turn noticeably faster than on the Paperwhite. You now have ten fonts with five levels of boldness to choose from. You have to set the Paperwhite's brightness manually. There's a white-on-black view that's new on this model. Some people really like reading lighter text on a black background, as opposed to dark letters on a white background, and it's great to have that option. A seven-inch screen also means picture books and comics are somewhat readable. It's better than on the Paperwhite, but still not quite good enough. Audible support is also new here. It's a little awkward, because the Oasis has no headphone jack: you need to connect or a. Once that's done, it plays Audible books on your headset, although it won't read standard Kindle books out loud, unlike an. The best use for this feature, I realized, is for people who want to enjoy Audible in their cars: you can sync the Kindle up to your car's Bluetooth. But given that you can also have a synced Audible or Kindle app on your phone, this feature doesn't seem that compelling. Kobo did several of the innovations we see on the Oasis, first, and for less. The is also waterproof, has adaptive front lighting, and has a 6. It's thicker and heavier at 8. Kobo's own store also has the books you're probably looking for, at roughly the prices Amazon does. I personally find most self-published titles to be pretty bad, with only rare exceptions, and Amazon's subscription reading plan doesn't have the specific books I want. If it has the books you're after, that's a great argument to get a Kindle. If you live here, unless you're really into classic works out of copyright, or you do all of your reading through your library's Amazon kindle oasis 2 account, you're probably in the Amazon ecosystem —and you can't amazon kindle oasis 2 read Amazon books on anything other than a Kindle. If you want to save some money, be a maverick and go with Kobo, but we have to acknowledge Amazon's dominance stateside. That amazon kindle oasis 2 it easier to find compatible accessories, and share books with family and friends. The Paperwhite is still an Editors' Choice for being as much Kindle as most people need. But oh, the Oasis is worth lusting after, especially if you read in the bath or at the beach. It's lighter, more ergonomic, waterproof, and less expensive than the previous Oasis, and you get an entire additional paragraph per page with the bigger screen. That makes it our Editors' Choice on the higher end. I might just have to buy one myself.

The reader has a touch screen, but you'll use the physical buttons more often than not. Vocabulary Builder: Whenever you lookup a word in the dictionary, it automatically gets added to a vocabulary builder list where you can study the words and definitions along with flashcards. Sharing: You can share passages and messages on Goodreads, Facebook and Twitter. I find the gyroscope on the oasis well implemented it only turns the page 180 degrees, but not 90. If you own both the book and audiobook you can now cleverly switch between the two without losing your spot. You can skip forward or ahead fifteen seconds or change the pitch level. Reading on both of these devices are really good. I wished there was a size between 5 and 6.
