> 3 dayWell, Ive let the cat out of the bag -- the Oasis often flips the page when I dont want it to do so. Just shifting my finger a little on the bezel will often flip the page. This is a nuissance. I have not found a setting to reduce the sensitivity of the screen or turn the touch screen off ... because, well, you dont really need the touch screen because the two forward and back buttons work beautifully. I have increased text size a little and its a joy to read. It feels lighter than my old kindle touch thats not holding a charge very well any more. Actually, the Oasis runs the battery down pretty fast, too, I have just disabled the bluetooth and hopefully that will improve things. I have a wooden stand for my kindle(s) and the design of the Oasis with one fat edge and one thin edge makes it lop-sided when I have it on the stand to read while having breakfast. Questionable design choice. Ive had the Kindle Oasis for some months now, and I must report that the battery life is truly dreadful, even with the backlight turned off and the kindle not in use for a few days the battery low warning comes up if I forgot to turn airplane mode on - in other words the wifi sucks it dry very very quickly. I have struck other problems lately. Sometimes it just gets stuck on a page. Buttons dont work, touch screen doesnt work. Fortunately powering it down and back up resolves this, for the time being, otherwise Id have a very expensive piece of technologic trash on my hands - but it truly isnt a good look. I have revised my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Greater than one weekPlease note that this is my first e-book so comparing to others is not my specialty. I will --Pro-- First of all, its great on its own. Comfortable to hold since its light, especially, page turn button is really a game-changer here. Whats great about it is the feeling when you dont have to poke your finger into your screen and make your reading more flawless. For me, this feels better than I thought at first. Buttons dont give any uncomfortable feeling both texture while grasping or sound while clicking. For those who love using dark mode. This feature will not disappoint you. Its also come with warm light and auto-adjust brightness feature. --Con-- Price, of course. It hikes from the paperwhite version dramatically. Depend on your budget. If youre really destitute, go with the paperwhite version. But if not, regarding my experience so far, the oasis version is worth spending. (Also get a larger screen, which for me, significantly improve my satisfaction. Battery 1) It uses quite a lot when wifi is open (airplane mode off), comparing to normal uses which last fine for 1-2 weeks (2 hours a day without turning the screen off and use screen saver while my case cover it instead) 2) When the battery is low it could be frozen. You can google it for more information. I yet know how low it needs to take to make it freeze since it lasts too long. Charger Only micro usb cable included in the package. YES! NO USB-C!! It takes around 3 hours to fully charge.

> 3 dayFirst device Ive used that disappears into the background and puts the words on the page first. Super quality build, super thoughtful features. The device is handed, the ridge makes it very comfortable to hold in your right hand with your fingers naturally falling (well for someone with my sized hand at least, YMMV (Your Mitts May Vary). But dont worry, if you turn it upside down it, now it fits perfectly in your left hand. The slick bit is the screen flips more or less instantly and the buttons switch functions. The screen is crystal clear and you can adjust the light strength and colour to your hearts content, I really like the ability to set a schedule that adjusts the brightness and colour. All in all, this critter is pricey compared to other kindles but its worth every penny.

Greater than one weekHaving used quite a few e-book readers including Paperwhite and Android-based e-readers, I decided to give Kindle Oasis 3 a try. It has 2 things that seem insignifiant but I value a lot - (1) yellow light; and (2) physical buttons to turn the pages. The size is good with me and I’m surprised how comfortable it is to hold in my hand. Though it is quite expensive comparing to Paperwhite which is definitely a fantastic machine (my Paperwhite is still working fine after almost 6 years), I have no regret in my spending - am glad with my new toy :)

> 3 daythe KINDLE OASIS worked well 1 month and the screen was damaged, I made the international return by dhl, in the tracking number it appears that it was received by amazon and so far they do not return my money, do not buy this product from amazon, it has no guarantee and there is no way to communicate with them.
