Notwithstanding price, Kindle Oasis is mighty tempting, though I only got a relatively brief time with it in advance, certainly not long enough to dive into a bestseller or read like I normally would on a Kindle — lounging on the couch or laying in bed. Instead, I was with Amazon execs in a conference room.
That said, you do feel the difference in weight when you pick up the 4.6-ounce Oasis in one hand and the 7.2-ounce Paperwhite in the other. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos stated in a press release that, “We want Kindle to disappear, and Kindle Oasis is the next big step in that mission…it gets out of the way so you can lose yourself in the author’s world.”
