I have a kindle oasis 3 and I’m contemplating getting the new paperwhite. It would be as a second device. I would still keep the Oasis.

I've been wanting the new UI and figured I'd just do it manually like I did on my PW4, but there's an error with the download from Amazon. Anyone else have this issue?

Same issue, I can't download the firmware for a manual update.

Could be a technical glitch or possibly the update was pulled because a major bug was discovered.

I asked customer service and apparently they are working on it.

I bought an Oasis 3 this spring and it has the worst ghosting I've ever seen on an e-ink device, so I suspect that the occasional lemon pops up. If most people aren't having ghosting trouble with PW5, it seems that an exchange is in order.

I've been using my new Paperwhite 5 gen. 11 for the past two days and no ghosting for me either.

It's a Paperwhite, only bigger, and with a bigger screen. I like the larger screen, but for most people, I doubt it is going to be significant. BUT...you can cram more text onto that screen. Fewer page turns. The screen is sharp and clear. You can make the screen have a brown/red cast if you want, but it really only shows on the white parts. It uses a type C USB port, which is nice. If you love the previous PW devices, you will love this one. I had a Voyage, and I miss the buttons, and the placement of the power switch. The screen taps in place of the buttons, is...OK, but still not the same. I like it well enough that I won't return it, but if they made a larger Voyage, I'd seriously consider trading this in on it. |

So, how good is this product's signature edition compared to the Oasis 3?

The "Group Series in Library" setting keeps getting reset to ON for me after a reboot. I prefer to have this option OFF.
The option works correctly with my Oasis 3 and Paperwhite 4. Is anybody else seeing this? |

However, if the short battery life of the Oasis 3 bothers you or you'd really like USB-C, it's a fair swap, assuming you don't need the page turn buttons. I wouldn't be disappointed with the Paperwhite 5 SE if I had to use it over the Oasis. |

Thanks for mentioning this; I would've been lost otherwise. I got the Kids version as well, and I got the same acceptance screen. I remembered your post, so I left it alone for about 10 minutes and it was at the main screen when I picked it up again.

Does anyone's new PW5 want you to enter the wifi password almost every time you want to connect? We are having wifi issues here so I don't know what's to blame. I love, love, love the color changing ability. Now when I pick up my PW4 to read, the screen color is so cold. I never knew it would make such a difference! I love reading on the PW5! |
