Amazon Kindle Oasis – My Thoughts

Amazon has just announced their new luxury Kindle E-Reader called the Kindle Oasis.

The key features are –

– Amazon’s thinnest and lightest Kindle – read comfortably for hours
– All-new ergonomic design with buttons for effortless page turns
– Longest Kindle battery life ever – no need to recharge for months as the included removable leather charging cover boosts battery life
– Choose from a black, merlot or walnut removable cover
– High-resolution 300 ppi display – reads like the printed page
– Adjustable front light – provides ideal brightness, day or night

New—Designed to feel as light as paper, Kindle Oasis is over 20% lighter and 30% thinner on average than any other Kindle. The handgrip tapers to an ultra-thin 3.4 mm display so you can read comfortably for hours.

New—Kindle Oasis combines our strongest cover glass and a featherweight frame infused with metal using structural electroplating, ensuring it is lightweight while also resilient enough to take it with you everywhere you go.

New—A tapered ergonomic handgrip shifts the centre of gravity to your palm, to rest in your hand like the spine of a book. Perfectly balanced for one-handed reading, Kindle Oasis lets you lose yourself in your story.

New—Comfortably turn the page with either the touch display or dedicated page turn buttons located on the front of the handgrip. Whether you choose to read with your left or right hand, Kindle Oasis automatically rotates the page orientation to match.

The Kindle Oasis costs £269.99 for the Wi-Fi model and £329.99 for the Wi-Fi and 3g model. That is a lot of books just for the price of the reader. But for some reason, it is tempting me. I am wondering if I purchased this it would start my passion for reading books again.

What about yourself?

The Next Kindle E-Readers – Details of new technology revealed

Jeff Bezos has already gone on record to say the new Kindle E-Readers are launching next week.

Now Wall Street Journal, has added some extra information behind the reveal. The next generation of Kindle E-Reader will last even longer as they will come with a rechargeable protective case

The WSJ added that the rechargeable case will allow the device to be slimmer than its previous versions. The downside is that without the special case the new version could have a shorter battery life than the older models. One of the case options for the e-reader is a solar-powered case, reducing the need to ever plug the device in.

Now I had a Kindle E-Reader myself. Only problem is I haven’t used it for such a long time now, I simply cannot remember where I left it! I really think the new e-reader is going to be a tough sell, as if someones current e-reader works just fine, why buy another one?

Apple iPad Pro 9.7 inch or the new Amazon Flagship Kindle?

Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos tweeted that next week Amazon is going to release an “all-new, top of the line” Kindle.

Which begs the question, should you go for an e-reader just to read books or should you buy a more versatile device like the Apple iPad Pro 9.7 inch and install the Kindle app?

Personally, if I read lots of books are didn’t want too much eye strain, I would opt for one of the cheaper Amazon Kindle readers. This way when I read, I wouldn’t get any distractions.

However, I still think nothing beats reading a real book.
