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

Ditched Amazon years ago because 1. What you're speaking on. 2. Hardware team just gave up after the Oasis 7" and have spent the past decade putting out nonsense with zero vision other than marketing while Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook keep iterating form and size and bezel considerations and 3. Other comp

Kobo's design has a sunken screen contrary to the Kindle. I have a first generation Clara and a Kindle Oasis 3. The plastic layers on the kindle's annoys the hell out of me. The image on the Kobo is top notch for me.

I've not looked at the latest generation of Kindles (I think they discontinued the Oasis). But out of the previous generation I preferred the Paperwhite (original, not SE). Although I do love clicky pageturn buttons, I found the oasis to be too slippy to hold comfortably because of the smooth metal

For what it’s worth, my Oasis crapped out after I had owned it for a year and a half and Amazon’s solution was the same as Rakuten’s offered you.

I've had one since Nook in 2010 and use it daily. I have Kindle Paperwhite now tho. I've probably had 4 or 5 in 16 years. 2 different Nooks then switched to Kindle Oasis that died went to Paperwhite and just replaced that a few years ago with another Paperwhite. The only physical books I buy/read no
