I was used to the Kindle 3rd gen(Kindle Keyboard) and when i first held the Oasis it felt very odd and uncomfortable and the metal back made it feel like it could slip and fall at any second. It does take time to get used to. The device is expensive for something that is not even a colored screen. However, my main reason was because it was a bigger screen and clearer ( besides there doesn't seem to be much upgrades between the Kindle Keyboard and the other ones) I find myself accidently touching the touchscreen more often than I would like ( but much less than when I 1st got it- a week or so ago). All in all it is a sleek and nice device, alittle pricey.

This is a hige upgrade from my paperwhite. Although i enjoyed my paperwhite and it’s compact form factor, the 7inch screen is much more pleasant to read on. The PDF files are much more easier in the eyes and the weight of the oasis is noticeably lighter than my paperwhite. My only complaint about this kindle is the battery life. This device is almost perfect if only the battery life is longer. I fibd myself charging the device every 4 days and that’s on airplane mode with brightness set to ZERO. Bluetooth is off, auto brightness is off as well.
