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! Last edited by cerem0ny; 07-23-2019 at 08:52 PM. |

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. |

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.

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... |
