Oasis

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

That assymetrical form factor is much more comfortable to use in the larger sizes. You have far more ways to grip it, and you don't have to scrunch up your fingers and get cramps to use it. The 6" is light enough it's not a problem. If you read infrequently or in shorter reading sessions, it's not a

I have a Kindle Oasis I've had as my only ereader for maybe seven years (I've had others). Built like a brick squat house but without a cover it's really hard to hold on to (unbalanced, metal back is awkward, cold and slippery), and with a cover it's weirdly heavy. Also, Amazon. Whatever you think,

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. The Oasis was replaced by my old Boox Nova Air, which was the perfect format..about the screen size of a

Oasis 3 is several years newer and depending on how it’s been used, should last better (not as well as any other Kindle to be honest, as I think the Oasis line had the worst battery life out of all Kindles even as new; the “six weeks” isn’t saying a lot as it depends on whether you use it half an ho

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

I was wondering if Amazon had any plans to make a new kindle oasis with the page turning buttons and the sleek design. No, Amazon’s representatives made it clear in 2024 that they’re not going to make any devices with buttons any more: “According to Corvasce, Kindle users are more comfortable with t

I switched from Kindle to Kobo and far prefer kobo. Kobo doesn't have ads anywhere (even ad free kindles have ads on the home page), has overdrive integration to borrow books from the public library (kindle doesn't support Canadian libraries), has instapaper for articles, and the UI is just better a

Another vote for Boox Go 7. I have the Oasis 2 as well as the Boox, and they’re identical in size and shape, apart from the back being flat. I take it out of the cover when reading and I find it nicer to hold than the Oasis - love the all-metal of the Oasis in principle, but the grip part is slipper

You know, if I knew how to jailbreak the Kindle I would do it but the internet tutorials just look too complicated, maybe too hit-or-miss to me. And besides, one of the things I don't like about the oasis is how hard it is to hold one-handed. It gets praise for its metal construction but holding it
