Switching from eink to fire hd 10
Took my oasis 2 back as the back light was always going up and down. Really can't decide what to get but I am really tempted by the fire hd 10 that's on offer for £95 this week, trouble is I am concerned what it will be like for reading because of reflections etc. Been reading for the past 2 weeks on the ipad and that's not got a laminated display.

Can anyone give me an feedback on if I should get another ereader or brave a fire hd. I loved the battery life on the ereaders but the uniform issues on the ereaders drove me around the bend.

Did you try turning off the Oasis 2 automatic light adjustment?

No as that was a feature I used, it worked well most of the time it was just at night it could not decide what it wanted to do when the bedroom light was off.

i like the HD 10, but it has a very annoying auto brightness thing that I turned off. It never seemed to settle on a brightness level -it would go up a bit - 30 secs later down a bit, change its mind and go back up....over and over

could be that amazon use the same auto adjust components across all devices ?

reflections are not a problem - indoors - but stuck with e-ink if you plan to read outdoors

separate to auto brightness, the HD 10 has a blue light filter option that you can use on a time of day schedule, or always, or not at all

actually, all my tablets have auto brightness and I always end up disabling it
