Only you know how many books you want to put on it. My 32GB Oasis currently has around 12,000 books on it. I like having a large selection available to me.

![]() ![]() Another reason though, is clarity. The text is usually clearer and bolder without the flush screen. That’s the case for my KOA2 when compared to my husband’s really older Paperwhite and my really new 2019 Basic. So that is a more proper and logical reason. It’s a slight preference only, not something I feel very passionately about. ![]() In short, I’ve usually experienced the clearest text (not washed-out looking) on screens without the top layer. P.S. When I said 'don’t love', I didn’t mean I didn’t like them. Last edited by Pjama; 06-27-2019 at 01:56 PM. Reason: P.S. added |

I'm not interested in a new Kindle until they make one with a screen at least as good as the flush glass screen on the Voyage. I have never seen it documented anywhere that the Oasis has a glass screen.

Both existing Oases have glass screens, so I’d be very surprised if this new one didn’t. Doing a side-by side comparison of my Voyage and Oasis 2, my impression is that they are equally good.

Yes, both the 2016 and the 2017 Oasis have glass screens. Still, my Voyage has better contrast and darker text than both my Oases. Even so I use the 2017 Oasis far more than the Voyage, I really like its bigger screen and the contrast is good enough for me (especially as you can increase the font weight now).
