Admittedly, if Amazon fixed those things there would be no reason to get the Paperwhite, so while we're disappointed we aren't shocked. Also, our reviewer missed having the option adjust the warmth of the display light, another minor but meaningful Paperwhite feature - though if you’re fine with using dark mode it’s easy to move past that shortcoming.

The fact that the Kindle 2022 isn’t waterproof is probably the biggest differentiator between it and the more expensive Paperwhite. That’s not to say there aren’t improvements that could be made. Being locked into Amazon’s ecosystem is a drag, but you can’t really knock the Kindle for that. If you also can't let go of your love for physical copies, I suggest checking out Bookshop.The Amazon Kindle (2022) is nearly a perfect device for what it is, and some of its flaws are more down to Amazon than the device itself. For books that I plan on keeping for a long time, want to reference in the future or that I'm particularly excited about, I still like purchasing a hard copy. While I love the Kindle Oasis for many reasons, I can't quite kick my book-buying habit. I use my Kindle quite regularly and I think I've only charged it three times since purchasing it a few months ago. Something that surprised me about this e-reader is how well it holds a charge. The device also has Bluetooth-enabled speakers so you can listen anywhere. If you prefer listening to reading, the Kindle Oasis also supports Audible subscriptions so you can carry around all of your favorite audiobooks. The waterproof design allows you to read anywhere without the fear of ruining your device.

I've been able to read in direct sunlight, with all the lights off and in indoor lighting without any issues! What else makes it so great?īeyond holding an impressive amount of reading material, the Kindle Oasis has a number of other great features that I just couldn't pass up. If you prefer to fiddle with the settings yourself, you can adjust from white to amber light and even schedule the time you'd like it to shift. Have you ever wanted to take in a good story in less than favorable light? The Kindle Oasis completely eliminates the issue! It's auto-adjusting light seamlessly takes you from day to night, just like a good outfit. Amazon The adjustable light is the real winner
