Reader perfect – this makes the first impression of Kindle Oasis – Antyweb

Reader perfect – this makes the first impression of Kindle Oasis

I’ll start with an explanation that I owe you. When you first set the reader, it turned out that it is impossible to register it. I have not found yourself in this situation for the first time, so I knew what to do. Immediately initiated a chat with a support center for Amazon, I explained my situation and asked to register Kindle – enough for a few minutes and the “Oasis” was ready. Each of you can do it at any time, simply go to this page.

There will be no exaggeration that, if you write that Amazon has done an amazing step forward on the way to its purpose, namely the creation of the unit ideal, worthy of comparison with the paper. An unusual (for Kindle) block and construction may raise considerable doubt when looking at the Oasis, but suffice it to pick up, to understand that (almost) all its feature has been refined with the greatest attention.

asymmetric structure makes Oasis fantastic in the hand. The vast majority of its mass was transferred to one of the parties, which in turn moves the center of gravity in exactly the place where we keep the reader. On the Kindle Oasis read only two days, but now I know that no other Kindle does not make such fun at the same time completely disappearing in its role as an intermediary between us and the book.

One of the three most important reasons for my decision change Paperwhite (I) were Voyage buttons. These, as I have had time to share with you one of the previous texts, not quite meet my expectations. Amazon also seemed to realize this and decided not to put in the new Kindle technology PagePress, but put on a traditional, physical, pretty big buttons. It was a hit! Their location is so convenient that it happened to me not once, I would have to change the unit holder to press the key “next page”.



There are not perfect, and almost perfect

we are all aware that the products are not perfect. After only two days, I know that the word “paradox” is the first word that comes to mind at the thought of Kindle Oasis. Phenomenal and extremely lightweight reader must entail certain consequences, and one of them is (of course) battery life. Not without reason, for the first time in the history of the Kindle in one box with the reader get a case and with built-in battery. She has to provide us weeks and months operation in the standby mode. Without it, the charge level decreases like the Kindle at an accelerated pace. Where did my association with the paradox?

Since the construction of the Oasis Kindle makes reading is pure przyjmnością only if you do not use the connected case. The battery cover which is an integral part of “complement” the missing space in the rear panel of the reader, which makes the whole becomes equally balanced and less comfortable in holding. It was not anything big, because such a state of affairs we’ve managed to get used to, but when Oasis lost their character ceases to be such a unique device. Taking together case is an act natural, but each time disconnecting it and put down next to the reading time is a completely unnecessary complication. Oasis Kindle 2 with a much better battery? I take in the dark.

This is just first impressions

the first meeting of the Kindle Oasis evokes many emotions, as evidenced by the above text. His test Kindle Oasis prepared by Thomas, but to me more accurate observations, as the most expensive Kindle works in ordinary everyday life, how performs against another reader premium Amazon – Voyage – and whether it is worth incredibly large investment during a transfer of cheaper, older model, as even Paperwhite 1st generation.

Dear Amazon, I can not give you the Kindle? – Antyweb

“It will be a very pleasant test” – just the thought came into my head after a few minutes spent with Kindle Oasis. Start the adventure with a new reader Amazon was not easy on this later, but a few minutes of reading with Oasis in hand confirmed my belief that a company of Seattle knows what he’s doing.



Reader perfect – a first impression Oasis makes the Kindle

I know that I owe you an explanation problematic origins of the use of Kindle Oasis. I do not mention this in order to cause anyone problems, but in order to provide information about how you can handle a similar situation. When you first set the reader, it turned out that it is impossible to register it. I have not seen anything like this for the first time, so I knew what I should do.

Kindle Oasis reader the best and unrivaled, but not perfect – dobreprogramy


 Kindle reader Oasis is unique in many respects. First of all, I want to draw attention to the fact that the only Kindle promoted on the Polish market.
                         
                         
 

 I admit that I was surprised, because the Polish buyer is not considered to be wealthy or who love literature, and yet we are shown e-book reader that costs as much as four tablets, three readers Kindle Touch 7 or two InkBooki Obsidian (and still be on the books and cases).
 

 For that price, however, hides a certain logic, I’m following in the price list of the Amazon for a long time. Kindle 7 costs 80 euros, and the Premium cover 110 euros. Already for 140 euros you can have the Kindle Paperwhite, which cover premium costs 190 euros … the same as the Kindle Voyage, which in turn cover premium costs 280 euros. So you can throw a few euros and buy Kindle Oasis. I think if someone gave 280 euros for Kindle Voyage with a leather cover, you will not have any problems with reaching out after about 10 euros (44 gold) more expensive Kindle Oasis on subsequent purchases. In this way, small steps Amazon can convince the customer that the Kindle Oasis is not so expensive.
 
                         
 

r e k l m and a

 When designing the Amazon Kindle Oasis departed from the traditional, proven design. This is the first reader of this producer, which is asymmetric. The market is a rarity, and I think not without reason. Sam will read on the device symmetrical, preferably having buttons to switch pages on the sides. Keeping the reader tie the one hand is to me in some elusive way uncomfortable. Probably a matter of habit. When you rotate the screen reader adapts to the new position, so you can quietly “change hands”. In the settings of the reader can also switch function keys side. For me, more intuitive is set to “reverse”.
 

 Problems will be people who have e-books from sources other than Amazon’s bookstore. The reader only supports formats AZW, AZW3, TXT, MOBI and PRC natively, as well as HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP files after conversion. We must in any case be careful when downloading purchases of electronic bookstore to choose the appropriate format. Usually bookstores offer the ability to download files MOBI, and sometimes also automatically send them to the Amazon cloud, so do not expect anyone to have problems because of this. One must know that one way to upload their own books for Kindle is to send him assigned to the Amazon account e-mail, for example anna@kindle.com.
 

 One should also know that books bought from the store Amazon have several advantages over coming from outside the bookstore. When reading and reading books intricate plots, you can use the X-ray , which clearly gives information about the appearances of the character. You can also view the most important quotes, which allows you to instantly “embrace” threads.
 



Made for language learning, if it comes to English

 Apparently, instead of the interface language to translate into Polish, Amazon will teach us all English. While reading, you can of course use dictionaries of the English language Wikipedia. Unfortunately, dictionaries do not translate into Polish, so you have a solid foundation of language, to use this feature.
 

 Another useful mechanism is Word Wise , which displays a summary definitions of words between the lines. This system has several levels, so if you show definitions of words known to the reader, you can raise the bar.
 

 The educational values ​​Kindle Oasis can provide a module Free Time . Parents can create a profile for children, add to it the appropriate books and school reading, and set goals to achieve – for example, the number of pages to read each day.
 

 To encourage regular reading have badges and trophies. Unfortunately, the profile of the child does not give full potential in Poland, because it works best in conjunction with a subscription to Amazon FreeTime and dedicated tablet for children. Then the parents can not only set goals but also time constraints with the tablet, can view photos taken by children and so on.
 

 Of course, in Polish books of these facilities do not exist, so if you encounter incomprehensible word, you have to reach for the Dictionary of Polish Language in a different way. Here we are approaching the huge flaws in my opinion, an exclusive reader, placed on the Polish market – there is no Polish interface, dictionaries or keyboard. While it may be safe to assume that a person willing to spend over a thousand zlotys to the device for reading books will not feel wronged English interface, the keyboard is no longer a problem. It can not be culturally write a review on Goodreads, or Facebook.
 



Without login not you read

 It is difficult to say whether it is an advantage or drawback – Kindle Oasis is one of these devices, which can not be used without creating an account. In this case, the first uruchoemieniu need to log in to your account Amazon, combine them with Goodreads, may be optionally added Facebook or Twitter, and at the end you have to view the tutorial. This solution has its drawbacks, attaches the reader to a “ecosystem” and significantly delaying the time to read the first book. In the long run, however, link your Amazon is very convenient. If someone has already had a Kindle, no matter where, will not have problems with change. Readers Amazon for years operated the same way, for what should be another praise.

 One of the advantages is the ability to send the aforementioned books by e-mail, which can be more convenient than kabelek. Besides, since I have a few friends on Goodreads, I immediately on the Home screen to see their activity quickly check what they read, if they like, and what book service recommended to me (unfortunately analogous native solutions for the moment I am not convinced). In this respect, Amazon perfectly planned also home screen reader, where in addition to their books, I also see the avatars of friends and covers of their books. I dare to write that “my company” Kindle Oasis have enjoyed thanks to great interest.
 

 I can not praise for how the Kindle Oasis presents quotes on Facebook. Entry looks nice, but add to it a cover and a link to a description of the book store Amazon a little triumph of form over content. But I am an advocate of sharing the same text.
 

 So many social features require frequent connecting to the Network. I tested the Kindle model Oasis is equipped with Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n-enabled WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPS) and 3G, there is also a cheaper model with only Wi-Fi. 3G does not need a SIM card and works wherever “catch” any network coverage in more than 100 countries in which Amazon has agreements with operators. As a result, absolutely free, you can browse through a library of Amazon and buy the book. In dozens of countries can also be viewed websites in the experimental web browser, but this is not a comfortable solution for two reasons – E Ink screen is not used for such activities, and besides, the browser is not particularly stable. In Poland, the 3G Kindle works fine.
 



E Ink does not have to be free

 E Ink screens due to their design, changing the displayed image with some delay, and besides, it happens, that will be visible to them “ghosts”, ie remnants of the previous view … but it does not have to be that way. The Kindle Oasis was mounted fastest and finest screen E Ink, which I saw. Refreshing the screen acts quickly, probably twice as fast as in the “average” reader, there are no “ghosts” or imperfections. By the way, let me remind you that the rumors said that Oasis will see the screen type Liquavista, but still Amazon decided to E Ink, the same as the Kindle Voyage.
 

 The screen resolution is 1448 × 1072. With such a pixel size has no chance to be able to be seen reading and experience przebiegania scanned the text are really excellent. What’s more, 10 LEDs illuminate the screen gives a very even illumination and a large scale adjustment. I compared their abilities with their inkBookiem: brightest setting Kindle is much brighter than inkBooka (the pictures on the right), and a minimum illumination Kindle practically not visible. If someone is planning to read in total darkness and not disturb others, it will be the perfect setting, and because the side buttons protrude slightly above the casing, navigation in the book it will not be a problem.
 

 I have the impression that the lighting is cooler than the Kindle inkBooka. Larger adjustable screen brightness to compensate and make it no matter what the conditions, reading Oasis is a pleasure without side effects.
 

 Well, as long as we have this pleasure? Kindle battery is not large – only 250 mAh (3.7 V), which allows you to use for a week or two, depending on how much to read on it. It is not surprising that small rechargeable battery, when dealing with a housing measuring 3.4 mm thick at its thinnest point. The exact dimensions of Kindle Oasis is 143 × 122 × 3,4-8,5 mm.
 

 With the help comes leather cover with a second battery with a capacity of 1290 mAh. With it, you can use the Kindle for a few weeks (the manufacturer gives 8, but I did not have the reader long enough to be able to confirm this). Standby time further increases recently implemented mechanism of hibernation, so that unused reader is ready to act very, very long time (no one knows exactly how much ;-)). The cover is adjusted so as not to increase significantly the size of the reader. Closed or open is held together by magnets and its opening will automatically wake up the reader. The only thing you might miss is the ability to bring the reader, which provides cover for the model Voyage. Despite the many advantages of animal rights activists decided to cover for Kindle Oasis boycott because it is made of natural leather. There are three colors in our editorial established itself black.
 

 Profile Woblinka Facebook recently saw an ad that perfectly describes the Kindle Oasis: never leave the house without a Kindle. Not always read, but I’m always ready for that. Oasis is just such a – perfectly mobile, battery discharge is bordered on the miraculous, you can be read in all conditions, and thanks to 3G will never run out of books to read (although to be reckoned with the necessity of reading in English, which fortunately is not difficult thanks to the built-in codebook). The biggest disadvantage of this reader, that is, the lack of Polish language, one could fix software update, if Amazon decides to make such a nod to the Polish market. From the hardware I see it as a product well made and I have nothing to reproach him.
 

 Price is probably the only thing that can cool the enthusiasm before buying Kindle Oasis. In the German Amazon reader from cover costs 289.99 euros. The version with 3G, which is such, as tested by me, it costs 349.99 euros. That’s a lot, but sometimes it’s worth paying for luxury. I’m sure that the Kindle will find Oasis in Poland buyers who will appreciate it.

Kindle Oasis, which is about how Amazon has become the Apple world readers – Onet.pl

Kindle Oasis is a new reader Amazon, which in terms of technical development is only a small Kindle Voyage. When it comes to functionality and capabilities, it is not much of a difference even in comparison to the model Paperwhite. Then where 100 euro price difference between Oasis and Voyage and 170 euro price difference between Osasis and Paperwhite? The answer is simple: Kindle Oasis is not the device that anyone could need. This is the kind of good, which is to kindle the senses and the desire to have.

I am a Kindle Oasis and I can …

What can the Kindle Oasis? Well, displays on its 6-inch screen, a book written in the format MOBI, AZW documents in PDF, TXT, and this also HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP after conversion carried out on the account Amazon (as in other readers with the Kindle family, books or documents can be sent to the device strapped to your email address, also directly from the online bookstore, and these appear in the library of the reader). Get built-in memory of 4 GB, without the possibility of extension for a further gigabytes through memory card.

Of course, we have to do e-paper, and more specifically the solution Carta e Ink, whose resolution is 300 ppi. On board there was also a very uniform illumination (10 LEDs vs 6 LED Voyage). Generally, the contrast offered by the screen quality and screen text are exemplary. But it was the same model Voyage, a little worse in the last version of the Paperwhite.

This may uptime? There actually is some progress (at least in the technical specifications, because hard to unequivocally verify the promises of the manufacturer). Osasis has work to eight weeks on a single charge, while the Voyage and the Paperwhite is referred to six. Interestingly resolved was the issue of battery life. In the reader uses a small battery placed in a more tasteful cover which is part of the set. Thus, the cover has two functions: it protects the screen from scratches and keep on charging the main battery.

But I will be your sleepy dream

If the functionality is what? Słówkiem The key now is to “design”. Amazon has designed a unique device that was flattering to the smallest detail. Finally, thanks to a slightly more “square” proportions (143 mm x 122 mm) we have e-book reader, which no one will confuse with the tablet. We also have an extremely slim casing, which at its thinnest place is a little more than 3 mm thick. For this Oasis used a metal frame and glass to protect the touch screen.

On the right edge you will find mechanical buttons responsible for flipping pages (the default upper responsible for another, lower for the former, but you can change the way they work in settings). But at the bottom on the same side as the buttons provided battery. It is written in the delicate “hump”, which by the way improves grip. Join this much weight in excess of 130 g (without cover) and you will receive a device that can comfortably hold without tiring your hand through the entire trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”.

Kindle Oasis – iPad world readers

I personally use three e-book reader and not very rational, I feel the need to change anything else. Especially when we are talking about Oasis Kindle, which costs nearly 1,300 zł version of Wi-Fi, no can do more than other readers from Amazon logo on the cover and is slightly more advanced than them. And yet, “mole of książkowemu” the Kindle Oasis could have dreamed. It is a device, which is eager not so much mind what the heart. It’s a top e-book readers, the purchase of which will be hard for you to explain, but you certainly will not regret. A good book and Kindle Oasis is a new definition of paradise on Earth.

Material created as part of the cycle “According to the Editor.” It is a place where take off ties, cardigans collars and write “how to live”. It is not always objectively, rather personally, but without pomposity. They rule here short product reviews and thoughts on current events.

Kindle Paperwhite 3 – Reader, which you should choose – benchmark.pl

Kindle Paperwhite 3, as the name suggests already the third generation of probably the most popular e-book reader on the market. While the design of the housing practically does not change in future versions, however, at this time we have been quite a few changes. Amazon set in this case for a peaceful, balanced evolution.

The experiments and much more daring and innovative solutions introduced while in other models. A perfect example of this is the latest Kindle Oasis, which I had the opportunity to test, and in which, needless to say I fell in love right away. But back to the hero of today’s test.

Appearance and ergonomics

Paperwhite looks inconspicuous. Gray, matte plastic on the front, rather wide frame around the screen (narrower on the sides) and a shiny logo Kindle, everything that can be found on the front of the device.

Kindle  Paperwhite 3

The rear part of the housing is made of plastic with a rubberized texture. It is pleasant to the touch and anti-slip, so no worries about the Kindle slip from his hands. Unfortunately, both the front and rear part of the housing tends to collect fingerprints.

Kindle  Paperwhite 3 back

The only connector that can be found on the reader housing is a micro USB 2.0 port. It is used for charging the device and also to connect it to your computer in order to upload books. Placed right next to the power button. His short press lulls the reader and hold it off completely

Display

The biggest difference between successive generations Paperwhite applies to the screen. The first generation was the E Ink Pearl display with a resolution of 1024 x 758 pixels. The next version was replaced by a much better E Ink Carta. Resolution remained the same, but the screen was characterized by improved contrast and less ghostingiem.

The newest Kindle yet received a better screen. It is the E Ink Carta display with a diagonal of 6 inches and a much higher resolution of 1448 x 1072. This translates into a pixel density one-third greater. The difference is visible to the naked eye. Fonts are crisp, clear, prints accurately mapped. The scale of change is particularly noticeable if you suddenly go back to the older reader.



Lighting

Virtually the same screen can be found in more expensive readers Voyage and Oasis. The difference is evident in the number of diodes doświetlających. Kindle Paperwhite has four of them, while Voyage is equipped with six, and Oasis in ten LEDs. This is reflected in the uniformity of the illumination, which Paperwhite is somewhat weaker. At the bottom of the screen you will notice slightly darker areas. This does not affect happiness in any way for comfortable reading.

Kindle  Paperwhite 3 adjust the illumination

The intensity of the illumination can of course be adjusted. Most of the time I have it set at 14-16. Reading at night brightness will decline to 10-12, as higher values ​​and start to dazzle your eyes get tired a lot quicker. In full sun (in the park, on the beach) lighting can be turned off completely. On the other hand, reading in a very bright room should increase its intensity. In this way, the text will be much more contrast, making reading and become more comfortable.



Work

One of the biggest advantages of the reader is the length of operation on a single charge. In normal use, you will not need to do this more than once a month. In this respect, higher Kindle Oasis falls much worse, because it can withstand approx. Two weeks.



Cover

When buying a reader should immediately obtain the cover. In my case it is the original cover of Amazon in a dark blue color. Cover well protects the reader from damage and also automatically wakes and falls asleep device after its opening or closing. Paperwhite wrapped in the cover of the book resembles the size of a pocket version (called. Paperback).



Support

Interface Paperwhite is identical to that already described the occasion of the review Kindle Oasis. So I do not want to duplicate the content and refer to that article. In a few words I would add only that the home screen we have quick access to the most recently read books and recommendations from Amazon store. The latter can be turned off to you if you encourage the new books we supply in other bookstores.

Books can be sent wirelessly to the reader. The first way is to send a file to an email address dedicated to that particular copy of the advice. You can find it in the settings of the reader after registering it in the Amazon site.

Kindle  Paperwhite 3 settings

Most of the Polish bookstore eBookstore offers shipping files on the Kindle. This is a very convenient solution, because in just a few moments after we purchase the book on your reader (if it has a connection to the Internet).

 I think that sent in this way files are also sold on Amazon’s cloud, where they can be downloaded at any time. This is useful if you do not want to keep all the books in the reader’s memory, or if you have a few readers registered in one account. In this way, we have a constant and fast access to our entire library on each device.



Well read!

I must admit that I am a big fan and proponent of the dissemination of readers. At the same time I am fully aware that no reader can not hundred percent replace printed books. There are titles whose content is not limited to the text. Photos, graphics, charts – it’s still better presented in the paper.

When it comes to self reading – here its advantages are undisputed. Personally, I can not imagine even a short trip without a Kindle in your backpack. Paperwhite suited for this role perfectly. I do not have to worry about charging it (just do it once a month), it is lightweight and compact and holds more books than I can read. Kindle also accompanied me on my way to work, is also useful in long queues.

Kindle  Paperwhite 3 Cover

Paperwhite I can in good conscience recommend to anyone looking for a very good e-book reader. For most it will be absolutely the best choice, especially because its price is not overly excessive – eg. In the case of Kindle Oasis. The latter is a premium reader – is much lighter, more convenient, more comfortable holding it in one hand.

kindle oasis

Design and ergonomics Paperwhite does not change for several years and is beginning to be visible. He could use some slight facelift to give it a modern flair. To the same action I have however no objections, it works because virtually identical to Oasis.

The newest reader Amazon is really phenomenal and as at the beginning mentioned, charmed me from the first moment and I think it is currently the best reader available on the market . But having to choose which one is more worthy of purchase, that although heart tells me Kindle Oasis, the mind and wallet inclined to Kindle Paperwhite, which is more than half the price.



The final evaluation:

  • excellent E Ink screen with a resolution of 1448×1072 Carta
     
  • adjustable illumination of the screen
  •  

  • smooth operation interface
  •  

  • Four weeks of work on a single charge
  •  

  • excellent relationship price performance
  •  

  • no light sensor
  •  

  • casing design already somewhat archaic
  •  

  • no Polish menu

P2K, which is a Pocket Kindle – I was looking for such a tool for a long time – Antyweb

P2K is a simple application that accesses our Pocket account, and then sends written articles on our reader Kindle (or any other device with the Kindle application – this probably does not need to explain). So far, not too many tools of this type, at least I do not associate. I had a brief episode of Crofflr, for which you must pay a one-off. Ultimately, however, it gave up. P2K offers much greater opportunities, as well as enabling us to prepare manually schedule shipments. The whole is at the same time very simple and intuitive, what you can see on the screenshots posted.

the creators make your application free of charge (when registering slider appears, through which we can declare the amount that we will help them). But in order to get access to all functions, we have to pay a minimum of $ 3 per month. It is not much, especially when you consider the additional features. First of all, the plan premium articles are sent immediately. We can also manually choose the ones that will go on the Kindle or filter them based on the assigned tags. Texts may also be getting an e-mail address other than Kindle’owy (because yes!). We also have the opportunity to create more than one schedule shipment. So if someone is planning to read a lot on Kindle’u, should be satisfied.

Same publications are well formatted and converted to the format of the reader. On my Paperwhite I had with them as if the slightest problem. Once transmitted can be a file of several articles. These can be recent, random or oldest – it all depends on your preferences and the selected service plan. What cool, the service can also automatically transfer sent to reader items to the archive, so our base gradually decreases.

Why should we read articles from Pocket reader? The advantages are many. The electronic paper is more comfortable for the eyes, and after dark the backlight reader does not emit blue light that could disturb our sleep (which, according to researchers). Another advantage is the lack of any kind of “zakłócaczy” and therefore the notification of the application, messaging, social networking and so on. We are just us and the reader with the basic, tailor-made features. I would definitely recommend reading the articles in such a way – a much better taste.

InkBook Obsidian. Quite a successful response to the reader Kindle – Dziennik.pl

inkBook Obsidian looks pretty good. On each side of the reader (made of good quality plastic) we have to change the side and below the screen we find the “back”. At the top is a microUSB port and microSD memory cards (up to 32GB). The device weighs 200 grams, which means that it is lighter than Kindle Voyage. The screen resolution is 1024×758 and contrast and black levels are as good as the devices Amazon. Highlighting the reader does not pose major problems. Yes, at the top you can see a light shadows, but they do not interfere with reading in the dark.

As the device is based on the Android , we can also be used to view the images, the Internet or send e-mails. This is not the best idea, the reader processor is too slow. Not to mention the fact that the black-and-white screen is not quite able to replace our tablet or smartphone.

It is for this run the application, which essentially created inkBOOK – Legimi . When you subscribe to get access to “Spotify for books”. This works perfectly – we can use all the titles available on the site. You can also install the application Kindle, which will allow us to use the purchased books on Amazon.

In summary, inkBOOK Obsidian is a pretty good reader that can successfully replace the Kindle models. Especially if you do not use books Amazon, but only plan to read items published in Poland. For 550 gold you get a decent device with a strong battery and a backlit screen. However, if you decide to subscribe Legimi, it would be better for the money to buy Kindle.

TEST: Oasis Kindle – Amazon’s latest reader – Virtual Poland


 
  Kindle Oasis is the newest reader Amazon. It is small, lightweight and has two batteries – unlike its predecessor, which had only one. However, the main disadvantage is the price, which may scare off many a fan kindelka. So, is the most expensive model is the best? Check it out.

 
 In Poland, the most recognizable readers, e-books are those belonging to the family of Kindle. Although we find in the shops offer a variety of companies, it is the Kindle stole the hearts bookworms and can safely be said that almost a synonym electronic book reader. Most people who decide to go with the traditional paper books to e-books in the first place take into account any of the models of the Kindle.

 
 The latest variation on the Amazon e-book reader is the Kindle Oasis, which leaves the competition behind. First of all, because of its small size. However, its price … well, it leaves much to be desired – for the model with Wi-Fi pay 1280 zł (289.99 euros) , in the case of the 3G model will have to spend 1545 zł ( 349.99 euro) .
 
 

 
  Because size does matter

 
 I showed anyone Kindle Oasis, was surprised at its size. Usually the first reaction sounded very much like “how tiny!”, “Looks like a toy”, “how light”. In fact, compared to the previous model, the Oasis is very small and handy – its dimensions are 143x122x3,4 mm (in order: długośćxszerokośćxgrubość at thinnest point). Recall that the Kindle Voyage measured 162x115x7,6 mm. For other parameters, the case is very similar. Screen size (6 inches), software or resolution (300 ppi) are identical.
 
 It is worth noting that Amazon decided to listen to their customers and returned to the physical keys. Oasis has a built-in accelerometer that automatically senses, or use the right or left hand and set the page, as well as buttons for flipping them. The latest model has undergone a good weight loss program, because its weight was reduced from 180 g to 130 g.

 
  Appearance

 
 The rear portion of the housing is shaped and roughly right. We find here the battery and all of the components. Reader keep the thicker edge, which we must admit is very convenient, and the same goes for the thumb slightly protruding buttons. Thanks to this change of sides is much more comfortable than in the case of “Tapani” on the screen.

 
 In the package you get a stylish cover, which performs two functions – protects the reader and asks him extra chic and has a built-in battery (more about that in a moment). Fasten it with a magnetic holder, so that the device holds up very well. Cases should primarily protect the screen and the whole device from possible scratches. In the case of Oasis Kindle screen is actually protected, but as far as the back of the device, the cover does not cover it in its entirety. It is worth noting that the closure of the cover clears the screen (which is the closure to resemble a book), and the longer rest reader enters a deep sleep mode, which saves energy.

 
  lighting

 
 The reader Oasis can completely turn off the backlight. Previous model when “zero” still shone gently, in order to facilitate start reading when it is completely dark. Unfortunately, this approach was abandoned in the latest model and the lowest level is actually dark. In addition, Oasis does not have a light sensor (that was present at the model Voyage), so we can not count on longer automatically adapt the lighting level to changing conditions, eg. During the bus ride. Used for a greater number of LEDs, so the screen is evenly illuminated.

 
  Two batteries

 
 Oasis is the first Kindle reader Amazon, which has two batteries. One is located in the reader and has a capacity of only 245 mAh (for comparison in Voyage was 1320 mAh). The second battery is located in the cover and has been the capacity of 1290 mAh. Thus, the total capacity of both batteries are 1535 mAh, which is more than all other models of the Kindle family. After removing the cover, the battery indicator disappears in the eyes, and the device is able to operate only a few hours. When we put the reader into the cover, Kindle Oasis stand quietly about 8 weeks of regular reading.

 
  Supported Formats

 
 Kindle as one of the few devices on the market do not read all popular file formats – including EPUB floor. But using such programs as such. Calibre or via the Online-Convert.com, we can convert books to MOBI format. Interestingly, e-books bought from Amazon and some Polish online bookstores can be read directly after purchase. If you only connect to the home Wi-Fi network or will purchase model in the 3G version, we can send the file as an attachment in e-mail (e-mail address can be found in the device settings – is assigned us to create your account at Amazon). After a few moments the selected book will appear on our reader.

 
 In bookstores that do not have such a possibility, we can also expand our library of ebooks, but their upload requires a little more effort. You must then use a USB input that allows you to upload books directly from your computer to the device memory.

 
 
  Summary

 
 Kindle Oasis charmed me with its lightness and convenience. However, my positive emotions quickly dampen price. The basic version of Wi-Fi costs 1280 zł, which for the average Kowalski is blocked amount. Amazon may lose many volunteers who are already rubbing their hands at the thought of the latest model of the Kindle. A pity, because this could be a very interesting alternative to other readers that are becoming more and more similar to each other – Oasis definitely stands out from the crowd.

Appearance and ergonomics

Kindle Oasis is significantly different in appearance from previous readers from Amazon. Ba, also stands out against the background of the whole competition. This time the designers came to the conclusion that the classical form of the housing is sufficiently comfortable and look for a different, unorthodox solutions. The new Kindle is distinguished by several traits – is incredibly lightweight, the housing is asymmetrical, so much more convenient to the reader holds in one hand, and also returned to the physical buttons to change pages.

Kindle Oasis

As previous readers Amazon seemed to be very handy, ergonomic and comfortable. And to some extent still are. Finally, the difference between the Oasis Paperwhite and only 75 grams. Voyage turn is heavier by 50 grams. Is that a lot? Not objectively, but at the moment when it starts to use the Oasis, the difference is huge. Reader (especially without cover) is light as a feather, and holding it in one hand is more convenient than ever.

Oasis Kindle  reader in hand

Much of the credit not only weight, but profiling and housing. One side of it is distinctly thicker, so that the handle is much more reliable. It feels like to hold a newspaper or magazine folded in half.

Kindle Oasis  rear casing

also changed the proportions of the reader, which now much closer to the square. With this modification, on one side you have been able to put physical buttons to change pages. The reader is equipped with an accelerometer, so that when the gear ratio to the second arm, the screen automatically rotates 180 degrees. Orientation change is instant, without any delay – eg. A tablet.

Kindle Oasis  buttons to change pages

The top button to display the next page, and the bottom scrolls backwards. You can change these settings in the options. The screen itself is flat (as in Kindle Voyage and inkBOOK Obsidian), touch and illuminator.



Display

The same screen, although it seems at first glance smaller than before, it is still standard diagonal of 6 inches. Used here Carta E Ink display with a resolution of 1448 x 1072. This gives a pixel density of 300 ppi. This in turn means very detailed and sharp images, crisp fonts and high quality graphics. Without a shadow of a doubt I can say that this is the best screen, which currently can be found in e-book readers.

Kindle Oasis  lighting control

There were also additional lighting. Ten LEDs ensures an even light over the entire surface of the display, while setting the maximum screen brightness in the night, you’ll see minimal differences. In normal, day and evening light are imperceptible. In most cases, used the reader with brightness set between 10 and 16 (for 24-point scale).

This what is missing is a light sensor that automatically closely conforming to the surrounding brightness. It may come as a surprise especially since the Voyage this functionality is found.



Cover

Another new Kindle Oasis cover. Unlike previous models, it is sold in a set with the reader. It is also the key element. Not only because it protects the screen from mechanical damage, automatically wake up the reader when it is opened, but it also has a built-in battery.

It is very important that the battery in the card reader is very small – its capacity is only 245 mAh. Amazon says that this should be enough for approx. Two weeks of reading, but from my observation time is greatly overestimated.

Kindle Oasis  Cover

The battery cover has a capacity of 1290 mAh and automatically recharges the battery in the reader. Installing reader cover is very simple, thanks to the magnetic holder. It is so strong that there is no concern about the fact that the reader himself fall out of cover, yet easy to remove.

Kindle Oasis  magnetic holder

Anyway, that’s what I encourage you – read the much more convenient. After finishing reading dress Oasis cover, loading the occasion of its battery.

On the next page you will find a further description of the operation, review and assessment functions of the reader.
