I use my Kindle quite regularly and I think I've only charged it three times since purchasing it a few months ago. Something that surprised me about this e-reader is how well it holds a charge. The device also has Bluetooth-enabled speakers so you can listen anywhere. If you prefer listening to reading, the Kindle Oasis also supports Audible subscriptions so you can carry around all of your favorite audiobooks. The waterproof design allows you to read anywhere without the fear of ruining your device.

I've been able to read in direct sunlight, with all the lights off and in indoor lighting without any issues! What else makes it so great?īeyond holding an impressive amount of reading material, the Kindle Oasis has a number of other great features that I just couldn't pass up.

If you prefer to fiddle with the settings yourself, you can adjust from white to amber light and even schedule the time you'd like it to shift. Have you ever wanted to take in a good story in less than favorable light? The Kindle Oasis completely eliminates the issue! It's auto-adjusting light seamlessly takes you from day to night, just like a good outfit. That goes for those who have big Kindle e-book libraries, but also those who have PDFs and ePUBs they want to mark up, too, as the Scribe supports a number of different file types.įollow on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter for the latest tech deals and buying advice.Amazon The adjustable light is the real winner And if you like the idea of keeping your notes on the same device that holds most of your reading material, the Scribe will be a good option for you. You can't actually take notes in the margins of Kindle books on the Scribe, but you can add sticky notes to your books and jot down ideas that way.

As an e-reader, it's a little on the large size with its 10.3-inch display, but the screen is crisp and responsive and we like the wider side bezel that makes the device easier to grip.

As a tablet, the Scribe is a basic but fairly well-executed device: there's little to no latency when writing on the display, there are a decent number of brush options to choose from and you can organize multiple notebooks pretty easily. The Scribe is Amazon's first jump into the e-ink tablet space, and the model on sale includes 16GB of storage and a basic pen. Also included in this sale is the new Kindle Scribe, which is down to a new all-time-low price of $290.
