Test reader Kindle Oasis – PC Format


to distinguish themselves in the market of electronic books, not enough a better screen, because all manufacturers use the same technology. Not everyone can, however, create a device that will attract the user’s ease of use.

Execute

Amazon successfully changed the proportions of its reader, reducing the height and adding a few millimeters in width. The thickness of the device is not monolithic. Almost all the electronics and battery were in a thicker part of the case (approx. 8-9 mm), which is also a handle, on which the scroll buttons of pages. The other reader is only 3 mm thick. The device keeps very convenient – the center of gravity close to the palm (almost holding hands), and the weight of the reader is a record low, is just 131 grams. Keys can be conveniently controlled by the finger, without disrupting grip. The hull shape makes the device better to hold in one hand. When you see Oasis in both hands, easily inappropriate touch of a screen. Across the housing and the touch screen remain, unfortunately, fingerprints.

Hardware

the Reader has the best screen e-ink Carta, illuminated by 10 LEDs located on the sides of the body. The backlight is fairly uniform and can be turned off completely. Unfortunately, abandoned sensor that automatically adjusts the power of the LEDs. Oasis received a function to automatically rotate the image. When there is a turn adequately vary the functions of the scroll keys.

Built-in battery has a very modest capacity, the reader works without recharging for 2 weeks (previous models – from 6 to 8 weeks). Salvation is the use attached to the device selected cover with built-in powerbankiem that charges the reader. Cover has a magnetic closure, and after closing the touch screen device automatically turns off.

Maintenance

Using reader with the removed cover, it is much less convenient. The reader becomes heavier, the case covers the handle and center of gravity is moved towards the extreme part of the body. It is best to remove the cover on while reading is not a problem, as the mount is magnetic.

Interface Kindle Oasis does not have Polish language version, but even the bad knowledge of English is sufficient for comfortable control. The reader instantly reacts to touch commands. In the process of reading is very easy to change the parameters of text – the number of fonts, their height, the selection of fields and spacing remained at a reasonable level. The appearance of text you can customize for your needs, not tonąc in excess of options. Very useful is the function of page preview and display of footnotes in the window. Effectively works as the search text.

That is not surprising in the case of Amazonu, the reader does not support the popular EPUB file format. Books can be downloaded to the reader via the Amazon cloud or sending to a special email address. The manufacturer has also prepared a program on your PC that will quickly send in the memory of the reader of any book or document, but also through the Internet. To use download files from a USB cable, you must use the free application Calibre.
