It's got this great feel, with an ergonomically designed shape that contours and twists around your hand to make reading even more comfortable than reading a book. There's more heft to the Oasis, with its aluminum shell, and the light is more pleasing on the eyes thanks to the extra LEDs that Amazon has packed in next to the screen. But for $40 extra with the Oasis, you gain a lot more. If it wasn't $135 at Amazon (opens in new tab), it would be worth it. At the moment, it's barely cheaper than the Oasis, and the only feature you gain is wireless charging and a USB-C charging port. The Kindle Paperwhite signature edition is not worth the money either. Again, while the Kindle Paperwhite is a stunning device it just doesn't really offer enough over the base model anymore to be worth it. There are no buttons to bring at least some of the physical feeling of reading a book. There's an adjustable warm light for reading in the dark and a 6.7-inch screen that covers the front of the device - but that's also the problem. It features some of the best aspects of the Kindle Oasis. The Kindle Paperwhite is also a solid e-reader and it's down to $95 at Amazon (opens in new tab) at the moment for the Prime Day sale. Nothing that says 'I read books all the time.' The base Kindle is a fine device and likely good for almost everyone, but if you're like me, you'll want something more. It's got everything you need in an e-reader, but not necessarily what you might want. It's even got a front light, so you won't have to buy an extra light. If you're looking for a cheap way to dip your toe into the joys of reading on an e-ink screen then the base model Kindle is an absolute steal at the moment for $45 at Amazon on Prime Day (opens in new tab). They're great! But they're not the Oasis. But besides those two things, the Kindle Oasis is the best Kindle you can buy.

I wish it had a USB -C charging port (it remains with a micro USB connector) and the Bluetooth connection it has, for some reason, is useless. Its sleek aluminum shell is a joy to hold, the e-ink screen is the clearest I've ever seen on an e-reader, and the warm light does a surprisingly good job of making eye strain a thing of the past as you read in the dark. Only one, however, had all of them: the Kindle Oasis. When I went shopping, I looked at the whole Kindle range and each one had at least one of my requirements. The tactile click of the buttons had replaced the act of turning the page for me - I don't think I could do without it. I wanted a warm light, a sturdy aluminum chassis, and, most of all, buttons. The tactile click of the buttons had become like a replacement for the act of turning the page for me A replacement was necessary, and I wanted all the features. I don't think devastated quite cuts it I was bereft of my Kindle. Once I'd realized that the Kindle was the future of reading, I used it for years until I dropped it down a mountain path, and watched it tumble to its doom at the base of a rocky outcrop. Those 14 books I'd leave with and 20 I'd come back with two weeks later were no longer a space issue - it was all on a little device I could almost fit in a pocket.

I could download all the books I could ever read onto my little Kindle and pop it in my rucksack. Suddenly, I didn't have to restrict my book intake. I'm a book-a-day kind of gal when I go away, and when you're heading off into the deepest darkest depths of the North of England for two weeks, you tend to bring more books than you know what to do with. It was the space-saving aspect of it that made me realize just how useful a Kindle is.
