(Either way, I recommend waiting until Prime Day or Black Friday/Cyber Monday for any Kindle purchase to get the best price. I read almost every day, so the Oasis was worth it for me. Or, if you’re new to ereaders all together, maybe start with the basic Kindle for $89 to see how you like it.
If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, try the Kindle Paperwhite. Some people don’t mind the ads, but basically you’re choosing between being spammed with half-naked men and artistic shots of writing utensils, so you do you. Side note: The ads mostly include covers of steamy romance novels or Amazon promos. The Kindle Paperwhite starts at $129 (or $149 with no ads). It’s definitely more of a splurge: the Kindle Oasis starts at $249, and to upgrade to the gold color with higher storage and no ads it totaled $299. The screen is also larger than the other Kindle models (a 7-inch glare-free screen) and has a resolution of 300 ppi (the same as the Kindle Paperwhite, and more than double the resolution of the standard Kindle). The new Kindle Oasis has an ergonomic design, page turn buttons, adjustable warm light, and it’s waterproof-it can survive in up to 2 meters of fresh water for up to an hour, so perfect for worry-free reading at the beach/pool or in the bath. It can hold something ridiculous like 22,000 ebooks (or 1,000 audiobooks). But the gold color only comes in 32 GB, so here we are. Literally nobody needs that much storage. The exact model I have is the Kindle Oasis with adjustable warm light without ads in the champagne gold color with 32 GB of storage. And since I waited 10 whole years to do so, I decided to go big with the champagne gold Kindle Oasis. I got a clip-on book light for my Kindle keyboard, but it still wasn’t great lighting and died pretty quickly. It was amazing, still works great, and is in near-perfect condition, but after moving in with my boyfriend who usually goes to bed earlier than I do, the no-light thing kind of became an issue. I got my first Kindle, the second-generation keyboard Kindle, almost 10 years ago. Paperwhite comparison. (Wondering what I’ve been reading? See all my fav reads from last year here.) Now that I’ve been using it for a little over two months, I wanted to share my full Kindle Oasis review-what I like, what I don’t like and if it’s worth the money, plus a Kindle Oasis vs. Real talk, my Kindle Oasis was one of the best things to happen to me in 2020 (and I only had it for the last two weeks of the year, so it’s really made a big impression in a short amount of time). Oasis? Here’s my honest Kindle Oasis review.
