Unlike last year’s model, you’re getting a tangible improvement over Amazon’s cheaper Voyage and Paperwhite models. Like last year’s model, it’s a luxury indulgence with superior build quality and design compared to its cheaper siblings. I could pretty much end this review there, and you’d know most of what you need to know about the new Oasis. If those things matter to you, you should get one. The leather cases come in burgundy, gray, and tan and will cost $60, while the fabric cases cost $45 and come in gray, blue, and white.TL DR Amazon’s new $249 Kindle Oasis is waterproof and comes with a bigger screen.
You can also buy several cases to go along with the Amazon Kindle Oasis in two different materials: Leather and a water-safe fabric. Capacity can be increased to 32 gigabytes for $280. The entry-level $250 Amazon Kindle Oasis features 8 gigabytes of storage, doubling that of the first Kindle Oasis. The big new feature for the Amazon Kindle Oasis is the integration of Amazon’s Audible audiobook service, the first time for a Kindle device, which allows readers to seamlessly switch between audiobooks and ebooks, maintaining their position in the story if they own both formats of a particular book using the Whispersync for Voice service.

The device has become a little bit heavier in the process, jumping from 131 grams to 194 grams, but Amazon says it still measures a slim 3.4mm at its thinnest point. Amazon has also increased the number of LED backlights from 10 to 12, so now the screen should be brighter than before, while also being able to dim itself automatically when needed thanks to the return of the ambient light sensor.Īmazon says the new model trades last year’s plastic for a mostly aluminum finish, though, so it may feel a little more premium.
