I must also note that these were not books purchased from Amazon. What surprised me, and made me love the Oasis even more (though it may be just a Kindle thing) was that after I had all of the books loaded up onto the Oasis and connected both that and my Paperwhite to the internet, it put all of my books into the right collections! I thought I would have to spend days sorting through and adding things to the right collections, when there it did it for me! It did forget some of the items in collections that had over 50 items, but it had about 40 of them in there. One thing I liked was that it listed all of my collections on the new Kindle, which makes sense because the collections are actually saved on the cloud. And it loaded all of them up, which was a surprise. On the Oasis, it did take a little bit of time (to be fair, I was adding over 600 books), but it was FAR faster than on my Paperwhite. I immediately loaded it up with all of my books using Calibre (if you want to know more about this amazing program, check out my review here.) With my Paperwhite, if I added a bunch of books, it would take them forever to load, if they loaded at all. It flips pages far faster than my Paperwhite, which is amazing. I started the Oasis up, and boy is it snappy. While the default setting for the Oasis’ buttons is to have forward at the top and back on the bottom, I swapped them so that they were more like the layout of my Keyboard’s buttons. I also had not realized how much I missed the buttons that were on my Kindle Keyboard. It gives you a place for your thumb to grip onto the reader. I love the little area to the right of the screen where the buttons are.
With my Paperwhite, there’s always at least one cat hair stuck in the bezel. I love the fact that there is no bezel around the screen itself. If you hold it wrong, it could cause some discomfort. I had read that the edges of the screen were rather sharp, and I do have to agree. It’s a lot lighter than I had expected, especially with the metal back. This would lead to less page turns, which is handy. While reading a book, I compared the same page on both my Oasis and the Paperwhite, and the Oasis fit an entire paragraph extra on the screen. While an inch may not seem like much, trust me, it is. This was because of the larger screen size, which is 7″ compared to the 6″ on the other Kindles. My first impression of the Oasis was “square.” I’m used to my Paperwhite, which is rectangular. I also want to state that I’ve read a lot of reviews for the Oasis, so I will also be referring to things that I’ve seen many others talk about. This review is for the 2017 version at 32GB with Wi-Fi and Cellular.
