I’ve had a kindle since the beginning of their creation and love them. I have always had an issue with holding on to the Kindle as I have smaller hands but I have found just adding a pop socket to the back is a life changer.

I got the basic in 2021 and since it helped me read 80 books that year I thought I deserved the upgrade to the new ppw. I don’t regret it. I toss the basic in my bag and take it with me everywhere I go while I keep the ppw at home.

This is helpful. What is unfortunate is that the biggest complaint on Amazon about the oasis is the cost vs that actual product. If Amazon would drop their price of the oasis, I bet more people would purchase it. I would, simply for the design alone. This was a very helpful review Chantal! Thank you!

I will never give up my oasis! I upgraded from the ppw and it is life changing. The design is just so much better.

Your video reviewing these 3 is the best one I've seen by far. Great job!!
I bought the basic model in white thanks to you on Prime Day last month and it was such a great decision. I love, love, love it. I carry it around with me everywhere & the battery life is amazing. I never thought I needed an e-reader because I have my iPhone and iPad, but I gave the Kindle a chance & my reading experience is much better now. so thank you! :)

I have had the basic white paperwhite for 6 years. It not being waterproof has never been a problem, i just put tissue in the charging port when im reading in the bath so the condensation doesn't get in. Never had an issue even when i havent done it :P love love love my kindle. Every year i get a new case. Good battery, good lighting, fast pge turning, good enough resolution plus its the most compact and cutest kindle. I like that it has bezels that stick out a bit from the screen because it makes it feel more cosy and protected like it's not gonna get all scratched up, just how i see it. Not personally into the whole flat faced look on devices, i like a physical difference from the screen to the rest of the body :) great video!

almost bought the oasis and got the new paperwhite instead and im glad i did. the paperwhite is also faster, since it is updated and doesn't lag as much. i have a case that has a spot for you to slide your hand so, so holding it is never an issue for me with it small edges. usb-c was also such a huge plus for me. i think the battery also lasts way longer. and the newer improved screen size in the paperwhite also made me buy it instantly. hands down my favorite one. lol.

I got an Oasis as a birthday present and loved it SO MUCH! If I were choosing myself I probably wouldn't consider it because of the price, but the ergonomics of it are crazy good and worth it. My hands are never tired of holding it and I don't need to adjust my sitting/laying position to still be able to use a device. This really makes the reading process smooth and enjoyable for me.

Amazing how much detail she described and did so with clarity and organization.

I ordered one of the first Kindles when they came out in 2007. I’ve updated of course but have used a Kindle since then. I read a lot and use my Kindle every day, I love it!

I am a avid reader and book collector. I am 54 years old and I have read thousands of thrillers. John Grisham, David Baldacci, James Patterson, Mark Greaney, Stephen King, Daniel Silva are some of my favorite writers. I was always carrying 2 more books in my backpack 🎒. A few months ago my wife purchased a Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. She introduced me to the world of Kindle Paperwhite. I don't have to lug 2 or 3 books in my backpack anymore. I now read on Kindle Paperwhite. I really enjoyed it and love it. I highly recommend it.

I'm thinking of finally getting a kindle for myself this year. Like you, I love reading ebooks because they're super convenient and I also hate buying & storing books I didn't enjoy. I'm greatful I came across your video since I have no idea what kindle model to get. You're such a great help! Thank you!

[emmmerz]

I know this was three months ago and you probably made your decision but I added an all black pop socket to the back of my paper white so it still looks sleek and it really solves your problems with the holds. You can hold it in either hand and if you swipe from the middle with your left thumb while holding you can keep your other arm cozy! Save the money and make sure you can keep the device for years. You could even splurge on the signature edition and get wireless charging and adaptive warmth for less than an oasis👀

[twolke]

I think the oasis is worth the price for me (wait for a discount for sure) - the designs and the buttons are game changers IMO I switch hands all the time while reading I can't imagine tapping the screen anymore

Your mannerisms are similar to Mariah Carey's, which made the video a sort of infotainment. I have the Kindle Oasis, too. I feel that it's the best Kindle among all three because using it feels closest to reading a real book. The form factor. That extra space on the side. I'm being subjective, though, because it's the only Kindle I've ever had. If I didn't get it, I'd probably be holding a Kindle Basic. It's hard to like, on a personal note, the Kindle Paperwhite because it looks like some random Amazon Fire Tablet turned into an e-reader.

I just bought my kindle 2 days ago... I’ve been a bookworm since I can rmbr and having a kindle is indeed life changing.. i can read easily and also it is rlly easy on the eyes.. I mostly read on my phone or my ipad and my eyes rlly gets irritated whnvr I read for hours.. anw ebook is a must ~ love your vid 💖

I am 62, and I REALLY enjoy your style, Gurl~!! I understand what you're saying and I love your zeal, passion, and enthusiasm! Thank you.
You are able to transgress (to go beyond a boundary or limit. In this case age.) I really WANTED to like the Oasis. And I so WANTED to choose the buttons. But you made such a compelling argument that unless they update the Oasis the population oughtn't support it. So I'll hang in with the silicone-backed 11th Gen e-reader until they listen to the people and update the Oasis. Bless your heart, Sweetie. Rock on ❤️

I got my kindle PW 11 Gen. 2 weeks ago, your video was very helpful in helping me decide. I love it, was so worth the purchase. Compared to the new Kindle Basic- there is no warm light and that was a deal breaker for me.

This was super helpful- ive been wanting to move my e-reading from my iPad to a kindle (so I don't get so distracted!!) but felt overwhelmed by the options and not understanding the differences. Thank you!!

I hope they fuse the paperwhite and the oasis so they can have the best of both worlds.
I had the Paperwhite [2015 version] and last year updated to the Oasis, and I am the same way as you where I know that UNLESS you get it at a discount, it's not worth the original price, but man that design makes e-reading such a good experience.
