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.

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 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

Really I wanted the ability to easily read a book I purchased outside of Amazon. Kindle made that EXTREMELY difficult. Most of the time the send to kindle was broken and just gave errors. It was so frustrating. My Oasis was a good device from a build and tech standpoint, but if it cannot read my own

I've not looked at the latest generation of Kindles (I think they discontinued the Oasis). But out of the previous generation I preferred the Paperwhite (original, not SE). Although I do love clicky pageturn buttons, I found the oasis to be too slippy to hold comfortably because of the smooth metal

You know, if I knew how to jailbreak the Kindle I would do it but the internet tutorials just look too complicated, maybe too hit-or-miss to me. And besides, one of the things I don't like about the oasis is how hard it is to hold one-handed. It gets praise for its metal construction but holding it

Two days ago I ditched my Kindle Oasis and bought a Pocketbook Era. The Kindle had finnaly succeeded in driving me insane enough to spend another €200 on a new Ereader. The Amazon Kindle is an absolute 0/10 would rather torture myself. The wretched thing had removed a series I was reading from the s

congrats. I was surprised too at how long it took to get it. I've always received my Kindle(s) within a day or so of ordering. So waiting almost a week for my KLC was harsh. I have to say, I had to original Oasis and hated it. While the face of the device is similar to the KLC, I could never get com
