Paperwhite vs. waterproof Oasis. I’ve been using the 300 dpi Paperwhite for over two years and decided to spoil myself with the new 32 GB WiFi Kindle Oasis E-reader. I’m an avid reader with over 500 books just on Amazon.The Kindle Oasis arrived well-packaged in an attractive sealed black box. The first thing I noticed was the sleek glassy surface and thin asymmetrical aluminum construction. Unfortunately, while the Oasis is lighter, the larger size makes it awkward to carry or slip in a pocket. The first thing I did was to buy a MoKo Case to avoid dropping and trashing my expensive new toy. The smaller Paperwhite sports a rubberized exterior providing a far more secure grip.The Oasis already had a half charge on it so it was good to go right out of the box. But there is no charger!

Amazon Abandons Kindle Design Philosophy: New Oasis As Comfortable As A Slippery, Cold Aluminum “Book” Can Be Starting with the first gen Kindle, I’ve owned every advanced model that Amazon has released. Each generation has been a further refinement of Amazon’s design philosophy for Kindle: make the device disappear from the experience of reading. First they did it by trimming size and weight. Then came the illuminated screen, eliminating the need for separate lights. Voyager trimmed size and weight further from the Paperwhite, while adding auto-adjusting illumination. Then came the advances of last year’s Oasis, which retained the same 6″ screen size, but packaged it in an impossibly light, thin and small case designed to be held with one hand. Some grumbled about the battery being split between the Oasis and its cover, but the 2016 Oasis came the closest yet to disappearing while reading.Flash forward one year, and Amazon seems to have abandoned this philosophy completely with the 2017 “New” Oasis, a Kindle seemingly designed to uncomfortably remind you that you’re…
