The screen is amazing. There are no shadows or cones, and I can’t tell where the light is coming from. I know the flush screen has something to do with that...
I posted this over on the Amazon Kindle Forum:
After using the new Oasis for a bit, I am thrilled. I’ve sent books to the device from MYCAD and I’ve emailed a book to check that method. The device is fast and responsive. Page turns are seamless. The way the back is designed with the thicker bit behind the buttons fits my hands well for holding one handed.
The menus seem well thought out and intuitive, (although I’ve used many devices and am not afraid to poke around). The screen is very crisp, the lights are extremely even. There are no cones or shadows, and the light adjustment is fast and easy.
The screen rotation seems to work perfectly, and rotates a full 180 degrees from portrait to portrait or landscape to landscape. I do wish there was a rotation lock, for those times I’m walking around with the device in my hand, to reduce battery use as it moves. But lack of a lock isn’t going to be a problem for me.
The new font controls are great, more sizes, and bold options. The screen invert option works well, although it won’t be something I use often. I know there are users who want that option, and they should be satisfied with how well it works. I also like the Display Size options that increase the text and images on the Home screen. This is a terrific improvement.
I never saw or used the first Oasis, but this one is a home run imo.
Adding...the only thing I miss from my Kobo is the screen swipe up/down to adjust the light. I keep doing it out of habit.
