It already made its return with KOA1.

It was on the Voyage, but not on the Oasis 1 (the one with the charging cover). It returned with the Oasis 2.
I meant KOA2 has it. KOA1 apparently did not, which I recently learned and remembered, then typed the wrong number anyway.

Mine just arrived! And... it’s beautiful. Wish it was a little bit different, like, even a little bit but I knew that going in. The amber light is a beautiful colour, much unlike my Kobo Aura One’s horrific orange mode. It looks very similar to Apples night mode.
Something about Amazons devices just feel so premium and this one is no exception. Excited to put it in my merlot leather cover. So luxe! Now to transfer all my books over!
Happy reading freaks n geeks :-)

Edit: another thing I’ve noticed is that the buttons feel a little... springier.... though that might be just because it’s a new device?
Also: the contrast is definitely better than on the KO2, page turning is faster, and the pages seem a little ‘whiter’ too!

Can you feel the small weight difference?
Any chance for the warm light image?

And enjoy your new kindle!

Thanks! Has it updated yet?

If not, and you plan to let it automatically update, are you willing to create the folder update.bin.tmp.partial in the top level of the Kindle storage as described in the thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=320564

Indications are that it is likely that Kindles running 5.12.x will delete that folder, which has been used for years to block over the air updates.

Nope, it’s still indexing AFAIK. I’m not really into jail breaking and tinkering around with the Kindles. Apart from getting the .kfx books. I enjoy experiencing the intended Amazon experience haha

I broke down and finally ordered one. I’ve gotten one every time a new oasis comes out. I used it every single day almost as much as I use my cell phone. Mine won’t be delivered until July 30th since I ordered around the first of July.

No discernible weight difference to me at all. As for the image, here’s a video which to me is a perfect representation of the colour and function...

How does the weight and balance feel compared to the Voyage?

I know that technically the O3 is heavier than the Voyage, but I'm wondering if the ergonomics makes it feel comparable or even lighter.

Congratulations on being the first in the forum to receive an O3. Is your old O2 cover one of the original thin magnetic ones? If so, does it stick to the O3? Someone in the forum reported earlier that Amazon may have removed the holding magnets in the O3, and that the old thin style covers might not hold. If you have one, it would be nice to know. Thanks

Thank you! I would like to thank my Mum, my Dad, my agent, God...

Don’t have that strange half cover. Only have the new one, in Merlot. So sorry i can’t help.

I haven't had a new Kindle in a few years.
Do you guys know what is the recommended behavior with the new battery?
So it won't drain in three days...

I have a feeling the battery is just as poor, if not poorer, than the ko2.
