Oasis

Ditched Amazon years ago because 1. What you're speaking on. 2. Hardware team just gave up after the Oasis 7" and have spent the past decade putting out nonsense with zero vision other than marketing while Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook keep iterating form and size and bezel considerations and 3. Other comp

I'm sorry OP this sucks and I'm sure you'll make the best decision. The Kobo's are better but they feel more fragile to me and my KLC lives on my bed and still use my Oasis as my outside reader since they built that model tough and still think it was the last good kindle.

They discontinued the oasis and it makes me so sad, my screen broke and I can’t get a new one. But speaking to the point of this thread, when my Oasis kindle broke (RIP), I pulled out my old kindle (probably paperwhite?) that I bought in 2019 and it still works perfectly. I use it every day.

I feel like it's old stock they found that they hadn't planned on selling because they didn't realise how popular it actually was (based on my other theory that Amazon doesn't invest in any meaningful form of customer focused input or social listening when it comes to business decisions about Kindle

I wish they made kindle paperwhite with a left or right side holder like the oasis. The bottom only hold makes it sometimes hard to read my kindle on my side while in bed.

I have a Kobo Libra 2, bought about two and a half years ago, and was coming from a Kindle Oasis 3. I haven't actually switched... I still use the Kindle daily, as well as of course the Kobo. Using multiple devices seems to make it easier for me to juggle books. Maybe that's just me... because Kobo

Update: After expressing frustration with their lack of support, the Boox support agent has been kind enough to send me a link on how to protect e-ink screens from damage, which suggests keeping the Boox in the official Boox case (that it was already in), keeping it in a cushioned compartment, and n

I’ve had three Kindles over the years and the Oasis that I got in 2017 is still my primary device, so I’m certainly not anti-Kindle. Would I get another one though once my Oasis dies? Nope. Reasons are many - not a fan of Amazon’s practices; my Oasis has excellent hardware but I don’t like the book
