★☆☆☆☆
love the adjustable bold settings love the adaptive lighting
UPDATE. i just read a 300 page book and had to recharge FOUR times. I've been on the phone with customer service for over an hour. DOWNGRADE TO A ONE STAR. BATTERY LIFE IS NOT GOOD. IT DRAINS WAY TOO FAST. BYE BYE OASIS .
this is my 4th or 5th kindle.
PROS.
crisp clear ink.
love the adjustable bold settings
love the adaptive lighting.
love the easy highlighting.
love the buttons with all my heart.
love the amigurami cover for standing the oasis up
love the magnetic on and off with the cover
love that amazon logo is not in the center of the cover
love that it works with audible
CONS.
the aluminum body is COLD. Even with the case....this is a cold ereader and i don't like that at all. In fact I hate it.
The aluminum body is SLICK and slippery.
Its also a lot heavier than the original oasis. This is like a brick compared to the first oasis.
Didn't realize i wanted immersive reading until i read other reviews
SUMMARY...I know nothing is perfect....but this new oasis is close. So, I love it but HATE the aluminum body which adds weight and coldness.
