Oasis

I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X

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

So it’s still supported and even getting updates? And they provide instructions on how to update it? I mean, I don’t even have a Kobo so I don’t even know why I’m arguing, LOL (I’ve been eyeing them occasionally but realised that what I actually wanted & needed wasn’t a shiny new e-reader but app su

10th gen Paperwhite - during Covid so couldn't get physical books. I had a Kindle keyboard but it was still attached to my mom's Amazon account and didn't want to turn the wifi off to put it on mine. Oasis - this one was super unnecessary. I just wanted to test it out and see what the fuss was. 12th

I've been reading using a Kindle or a Kobo for about 13 years now. I've never used a screen protector and the only issue I ever had with a device was my Kindle Oasis having strange software freakouts after about seven years of use. BTW the Kobo Libra Color - which I use now - does not have any gloss

i ran into this exact choice last month. for dictionary lookups Kobo wins hands down - you can install custom dictionaries and it handles multiple languages smoothly. Kindle Oasis is fine but more locked down. PDFs on both are meh but Kobo handles sideloading better without jailbreak. the screen on

I need to catch up, please. I have three Oases and a Kindle keyboard. for centuries, I copied my books from the keyboard over to my PC and from there into Calibre, so I haven't looked at deDRM for some time now. I take it from this that Amazon is also making life more difficult again for the remaini

Yes it IS misinformation. Just because it feels bricked to you doesn't mean it is. If it was bricked, no one would be even able to read their books or turn on Kindle. Yes, I know the news sucks, and I'll be sad when my 2019 Oasis won't get support anymore someday. But this is something many technolo

I went fork Kindle to Kobo due to the same issue (dropped $400 on an Oasis 2 w/ cell connectivity and a ton of storage) to Palma with both the Kindle and Kobo apps.
