Size - wise there is no difference betweenthe 2d - generation Oasis , which was introduced in 2017 , and this newfangled third coevals . They both feature a large 7 - column inch 300 PPI display and that unique design , which encourages you to nurse the Oasis with just one hand . They both have a Micro USB charging port that experience perfectly obnoxious and superannuated when USB - C is everywhere . They ’re both waterproof ( IPX8 ) , support Audible via Bluetooth , and come in 8 GiB and 32 GB reading .

They ’re both very good ereaders . Though in my experience , the third contemporaries Oasis has the same problem with battery life as the 2d generation . compact a bright , backlit display and Bluetooth into an ereader hurts battery living . With the light lay to max , I lost 10 percentage barrage fire in approximately two hours .

You wo n’t be using the Kindle Oasis with the battery cranked to the max very often . For starters , the auto - brightness feature rarely ramps the brightness all the way up , unless you are sitting on a blaze beach . When I set it to adjust the brightness mechanically , it never set it above 19 on a graduated table of 1 to 24 . More importantly , maxing out the smartness while the warmth scene is maxed out lead to a exhibit that ’s very lily-livered and ugly .
But why offer adjustable warmth ? The idea is that staring atblue light , like the cooler backlight of other Kindles , messes with our circadian rhythms and make it more difficult to fall asleep at Nox . Warmer light , for many , is more pleasing to the eyes .
The raw backlight in the third generation Oasis warms up the too drab e - ink display . Both the brightness and the heat toggle switch effect affect just how warm the display gets . So you’re able to keep the warmness maxed out but adapt the brightness to keep the display from being too ardent . Or vice versa . And if you do n’t want to mess up with either place setting , that ’s an selection . Turn on auto - smartness and schedule the fondness to trade on at sure time of twenty-four hour period .
The adjustable warmness is n’t necessary , but as someone who has always found the backlight on other Kindles path too cool , I like it . It ’s exactly the silly , not exceedingly necessary feature I ’d wait from the most deluxe Amazon ereader useable .
If you want a solid ereader that has a beautiful backlight , splendid battery living , and a waterproof design , then the$130 Kindle Paperwhite is there for you . For most people , it ’s the ereader to buy . But if you read a lot , and require to splurge ( even if it might hurt your barrage life ) , the $ 250 Kindle Oasis is an attractive option too .
