Here are the latest news about Kindle Oasis:
2019. Kindle update makes page turn speed faster
Amazon has released a firmware update (version 5.10.3) for several Kindle e-Ink e-readers, including the Oasis 2, Paperwhite 4, and Voyage. While the update's official description mentions improved performance without specific details, I have observed significant enhancements in page turn speed through swiping or tapping. This improvement will be particularly beneficial for avid ebook readers. Additionally, ebooks now open more quickly with this update. The firmware update is expected to be distributed via Wi-Fi over the next few days, reaching Kindle devices automatically.
2017. Amazon's Kindle Oasis gets big and waterproof
Amazon is introducing a significant update to its flagship e-reader, Kindle Oasis, bringing about radical changes. This latest model boasts the largest screen size ever seen on a Kindle device, measuring 7 inches. Moreover, it marks Amazon's first foray into creating a waterproof e-reader. Remarkably, the device is incredibly thin on one side, measuring a mere 0.13 inches, while accommodating a thicker battery section on the other side, which measures approximately a third of an inch. To enhance the reading experience, Amazon has increased the number of LED lights positioned over the screen to 12, ensuring more uniform lighting compared to the previous 10 lights. Notably, the integration of the Audible Audio Book service is another major addition. Despite Amazon's ownership of Audible, this service was previously separate from the Kindle, but now users can conveniently browse and purchase Audible Books directly on the device. Furthermore, the Kindle Oasis now starts at a price of $249 for the 8 GB storage variant.
2016. Amazon unveils new Kindle Oasis
The latest addition to Amazon's Kindle lineup is the Kindle Oasis, offering an incredibly compact and lightweight design along with a unique handle for enhanced grip. With a thickness of only 3.4 mm at its thinnest point, the Kindle Oasis brings readers even closer to the tactile experience of holding a physical book. The one-sided handle grip is specifically crafted to simulate the sensation of holding a book's spine while indulging in your reading journey. Notably, this new Kindle model reintroduces physical buttons for page flipping, a departure from the touchscreens and keyboards of previous generations. Amazon has recognized the enduring appeal of buttons, and they have made a comeback based on user preferences. The Kindle Oasis is available in two versions: the WiFi model priced at $289 and the 3G model priced at $359.
