Kindle Oasis Review: Thinner, lighter, sharper

Kindle Oasis Review: Thinner, lighter, sharper

The 8th avatar of the Kindle reader gets closer than ever to a real book.

It is nine years since Amazon launched its dedicated e-book reader, the Kindle and though there have been about seven variants, these come down to three models from the original 2007 Kindle book to the much sharper Paper White in 2012 to the Voyager two years later, which came with navigation by touch within the book and an adaptive light sensor.
On April 27, the new Kindle Oasis will be available in India at Amazon.in and for the first time, it appears to have shrunk in size. In fact, all Kindles have come with a 6-inch diagonal reading area, but the Oasis has chopped away the empty spaces and perhaps for the first time ever, users will feel they are holding a real book. And for a more “bookie” feel, you now have a soft leather jacket.
