Oasis

I see you decided on a Kindle Paperwhite, but I just upgraded from an Oasis 2 (battery lasted about 4 hours) to a Clara BW, so thought id add my thoughts as it might help someone in the future. I like to take my e-reader with me often, so pocketabaility was important, I also use wide margins to keep

There are a few Android eInk devices that are very similar to the 7’’ Oasis 2 and 3 in size and shape - Boox Go 7 for example, but there are others. They won’t have the battery life of good dedicated e-readers (Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook) but offer all sorts of flexibility. (And battery life isn’t as

I'm the same. I'm even considering soldering a USB-C port to my Kindle Oasis just for convenience

I just converted to the Boox Go7 monochrome as my main Ereader. The square format reminds me a lot of my old Kindle Oasis, which was my full time Ereader until the batteries started to go south.

So I have both kindle oasis and kobo libra colour, kindle oasis' battery is not good, never has been, 6 weeks is a dream unless you're not using it at all. You don't really need to disable the touchscreen, I never used that option on the oasis, and I never missed it on the libra, because the wide si

I have a jailbroken Kindle Oasis 2 and while calibre WiFi transfer works like a charm and reading on it is fun... it has two major flaws. My battery measures around 90% of its claimed capacity so it should be still fine. But it sucks. Even without using the light a lot and with WiFi off. It feels li

Out of curiosity, which firmware is your PW on and when did you last try it? (And specifically, was it a file newly downloaded from Amazon or one that was already on the Kindle, downloaded from Amazon to the Kindle earlier?) I’m asking as it’s a very recent development with Kindles released between
