Amazon Kindle Oasis battery lifeĪmazon claims one full charge on the Oasis can last up to four weeks based on an average reading time of 30 minutes per day. This does, however, cost $9.99/month, so unless you have the tendency to read more than 3 books a month, the option may not be best for you. While the Oasis, unfortunately, doesn’t support the Overdrive app (which lets you borrow eBooks and audiobooks from local libraries), Amazon offers a service called Kindle Unlimited that lets you “check out” up to 10 books at a time. But thanks to the smooth screen rotation, I never lost my spot. Due to the slippery surface, it can be a little hard to hold I had to keep switching hands to prevent fatigue. With its auto-adjusting light sensor, you can read from day to night without even noticing the change in the light around you. ![]() Reading on the Kindle Oasis is immersive and comfortable. It worked but I wouldn’t recommend doing any serious web browsing just yet. It also gives you access to the experimental browser, which I used to browse through Amazon just for funsies. Lastly, there’s a menu that expands the options available on each page, be it navigating the store or through your collection, or access to words and quotes you’ve highlighted in each book. Next to the Store tab is a self-explanatory search bar. The Store page gives you the option to browse by recommendations based on your reading history, or by individual categories. ![]() The next tab gives quick access to Goodreads, a social database that lets you track and review books you’ve read, as well as books your friends are into. ![]() The settings shortcut gives you quick access to Bluetooth, brightness, warmth, and Kindle sync settings, while also providing a shortcut to all device settings. The back tab brings you back to the previously viewed page, but it doesn’t work as a page-turner while reading.
