Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great e-reader, but abysmal battery life. I bought mine from another retailer, because Amazon's wait time was too long and I wanted it for a long trip that started the following day. The screen is gorgeous, page turns are fast, lighting is even, the weight and balance are excellent. But all of that doesn't mean much if battery life is just a few (and I mean FEW) hours. I've had a Kindle Paperwhite and a first generation Oasis as well; this new one has the worst battery life by a lot. I have had a Kindle Oasis 2017 (32GB with Cellular) since 3 November. I'm very unimpressed with the battery life. In airplane mode, I think it lasted about 8 hours, brightness no higher than 8 and frequently at 2 or 3. With Cellular on, it was maybe 2-3 hours? I didn't track it, at that time. After the third full charge, I put it on WiFi, and it's had a good signal. I did also make sure it was not stuck indexing. My results from full charge to ! Battery depleted was under four hours. This time I tracked it; see below for brightness levels etc. Next testing will be with in airplane mode, with time and brightness tracked. I got this for travel/long flights, and this is NOT what I expected. Kindle Oasis 2017 battery life Full charge. WiFi on.
