Kindle Oasis

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.

That assymetrical form factor is much more comfortable to use in the larger sizes. You have far more ways to grip it, and you don't have to scrunch up your fingers and get cramps to use it. The 6" is light enough it's not a problem. If you read infrequently or in shorter reading sessions, it's not a

I'm glad you don't have issues with it, mine refuses to read them at all or makes the text very small in the center of the screen, no matter what I choose in settings. Not sure what model it is because I received it as a gift, I think it's called oasis? I might be wrong. I haven't jailbroken it yet

Unfortunately Amazon already phased out Kindle Oasis line with 10th gen is the last your best bet is a used Kobo Libra 2 (Libra Colour is there too, but colour) or had to sacrifice the button with Paperwhite 5/6. Or sacrifice battery life with Boox Go 7

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).

Yes 100%. I started with a kindle, but if I had to do it over again, I'd get a Kobo. (Unless if you read a bunch of indie/trad pub novels, then get a kindle).

i just thought the e-ink technology was super interesting and i got a second-hand Kindle 2 in 2009. i eventually decided i prefer physical books whenever possible and now the Kindle Oasis 3 is used only for out-of-print, free and hard to find texts.

I have a jailbroken Kindle Oasis 2 and while calibre WiFi transfer works like a charm and reading on it is fun... it has two major flaws. My battery measures around 90% of its claimed capacity so it should be still fine. But it sucks. Even without using the light a lot and with WiFi off. It feels li

They will all let you load PDF files but you should know that PDF is about the absolute worst file format for eInk devices, especially ones with smaller screen - zooming and panning is torturous (slow, jumpy, laggy) on older, smaller eInk screens so unless your eyesight is good enough to read the fu

I'm curious what you ended up doing for an ereader in the end? I'm the same age as you and I've been using my old Kindle keyboard since 2010! I love the buttons so much I just can't get used to a touchscreen. I've already replaced the battery once and it's draining quickly again so I'm trying to loo
