Usable space: PW vs Oasis 1 vs ???
hi all,
just a random observation. i looked at my PW3 which has roughly 200 books on it, and it reports that i have 2.7gb of free space. my recently purchased Oasis, even after updating (not partial update file sitting on the directory structure), and having only 5 books on it, reports having 2.4gb of space available. is the OS/Firmware on the Oasis that different than the PW? (PW3 in my case) thanks for any thoughts/experiences. it doesn't impact me because i don't forsee running out of space for a long time and am happy to offload things into the cloud, but i found this discrepancy peculiar. i could have sworn that my PW3 came with over 3gb of usable space before i put books on it. |

The 2016 Oasis has the VoiceView files on it, the Paperwhite has not (to my knowledge at least). Therefore the difference in free space.
If I'm wrong, let someone correct me. I don't have a Paperwhite, so cannot check this. |
