The thought of plunking down $250 for one and then having buyers remorse a few months later when Amazon unveils new devices with Comfortlight is what's holding me back. |

While it's not a blue light filter or ComfortLight, I really enjoy reading my Oasis with white text on black background at night. I find it very comfortable. On the rare occasions when I've tried reading my Voyage at night instead of my Oasis, the white background bothers me now (although I didn't mind it as much before I got the Oasis with its invert mode).

I grabbed the Fintie Origami cover in the charcoal fabric.
I like it.. kind of in the style of a Paperwhite cover in that it covers everything versus the Amazon one leaving part of the device unprotected. So far it has not fallen off my Oasis yet or changed pages when I close the cover, and it was about 1/4 the price of the original Amazon leather cover. Works for me, it seems to solve about my only issue with the Oasis. |

The Battery life on the Champagne Gold is worse than the 8GB model. I read the last 10% of The Crooked Staircase (Dean Koontz) and it consumed 15% battery!

I'm also wondering why they didn't offer an 8gb Gold Oasis ? Only the 8g Oasis is on sale for Prime Day too. I'm guessing they might phase out the 8g all together ? Then offer one premium priced Oasis in 32gb. In Gold or Graphite. I'm getting another Voyage as back up, they might phase that out as well. Then probably offer a new version of the Paperwhite to be the middle range device. Last edited by Wearever; 07-17-2018 at 02:20 PM. |

No I am keeping it for its too exhausting to return esp since I sold the 8gb.
And stupid me is going to sell my 1 month old gold ipad On a whim I purchased the ipad pro from Verizon which was idiotic of me to do. I wanted a cellular model then after purchase I realized i can just use my stupid hotspot on phone to connect my gold ipad |

If the screen and everything else is good on the gold Oasis, it makes sense to keep it. Just use it like you would anyway. The battery will get charged more but there will always be another version in a couple years.

Does Amazon still let you buy the Kindle over 4 payments? I don't see it mentioned on their site.

One thing I'm not seeing today is the Kindle Voyage. It seems to be removed from the lineup. Not sure if this is temporary or permanent--I have the Voyage and I love it. |

I just purchased the Champagne Oasis last week & I love it. It’s my first e-reader..I know I’m late to the party Lol. I just recently moved to NYC, so the kindle was the perfect solution to my limited space issue.
So glad I found this forum. I’m looking forward to learning more & more about e-readers😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
