1) The cover won't charge the battery up past ~94%. I suspect this is to keep the charging efficient. I am not entirely certain, but I have a guess that topping up the battery is actually somewhat "expensive" in terms of mAh spent versus mAh stored. So it probably doesn't bother. 2) The cover becomes the primary battery while it is plugged in. So using the Oasis while plugged in will not make charging slower as far as I can tell, and it means that even while the battery in the Kindle itself is low, you really don't need to wait or anything like that to use it. Edit: Just to be clear, by "plugged in", I mean plugged into the cover, not an outlet. ![]() Last edited by Kolenka; 04-29-2016 at 01:33 PM. |

Probably naked for me. It's funny though, when I need a cover is when I carry it. I try to read while carrying other things and I drop it. When I am not reading I don't really need a case. I know it'll be different with a battery in the case.

I'll see how it works with my purse when I get it. It might be a dump everything else out of the purse to take it with me kind of thing. Recipes are on my galaxy tab, phone, and my computer, but I still usually print them out because I don't like using my galaxy tab or my phone when I'm cooking either. The phone part makes for easy shopping though. |

I'd thought of getting a pouch but, unlike any of my other ereader cases, taking the Oasis out of its case is actually faster than taking it out of a pouch would be and the case is smaller than a pouch would be if the pouch was protective at all. I don't even think the case weighs any more than a pouch would; it's a lot lighter than I expected.

For those who bought an Oasis and will use it sans cover, why did you buy an Oasis?

Isn't that the entire point of the Oasis? They made it super easy to snap into the cover with the magnet, so it's no effort to take the cover on and off. Reading without the cover makes the device incredibly light.

+1. Ergonomics.
While my Voyage has a better screen, I often have to stop reading because of pain in my hands. With the cover off, the Oasis is so easy to hold I can read longer and with less pain than I can with my Voyage. |
