Beautiful, fantastically well built and a pleasure to use. But the high-price means it's only for the most diehard of Kindle fans.

Gorgeous 7-inch touchscreen ; Display with adjustable warmth ; Waterproof design ; Page-turn buttons ; Support for audiobooks

Still no USB-C port ; Very minor update on previous Kindle Oasis

Innovative new design ; Great new back-lit screen ; Vast selection of ebooks

Shorter battery life ; Most expensive Kindle ever ; Only leather case options

The Amazon Kindle Oasis is the best experience money can buy when it comes to reading electronic tomes. The main problem lies in how much money you have to part with to let that happen, and its high price is likely to scare some off.

Sublime reading experience ; Larger display ; More even illumination ; Quality covers

It can be a little slippery ; Price ; Kindle Store layout getting a little old

While we struggled to recommend the old version in light of the sturdy performance of the Paperwhite, we'd happily vouch for the new Kindle Oasis. It's bigger, it's better, it's waterproof. It's the best Kindle yet.

Sleek Design ; Responsive Touchscreen ; Waterproof ; Easy to browse ; Adjustable warm light

Slippery ; No audio jack ; Expensive

The Kindle Oasis is a gorgeous, high-end eReader that makes reading anywhere and anytime a breeze.

The new Kindle Oasis maintains its slim design while adding a sturdier aluminum back and a larger 7-inch, high-resolution E Ink screen. It's fully waterproof (can be submerged) and can play your Audible audiobooks to Bluetooth headphones or speakers....

Expensive; no case included.

While not as lightweight as the original Kindle Oasis, the larger screen, more durable aluminum chassis and full waterproofing are important upgrades that put the new Oasis at the top of the e-reader class.
