![]() It can also make turning back to your ebook after firing off a text on your phone a little off-putting as you're confronted with a harsh, bright-white glow from the display. And when almost every other gadget that you've got packed for your summer holiday – from the latest Android smartphones, to the iPad Pro, Apple MacBook Air, and more – all have the ability to strip out the harshest blue tones from the backlighting, the lack of warmth from the Amazon Kindle range was even more noticeable. However, the warm tone to the display is a very pleasant effect. We have only been using the Kindle Oasis for a few days, so can't really speak to whether our quality of sleep has been drastically boosted compared the previous generation. ![]() Quickly toggling the setting on and off can be a little overwhelming, especially if you've got the warmth cranked up to the aforementioned nectar-like levels, but it's surprising how well your eyes become accustomed when the Kindle gradually increases the warmth. At the lowest end of the scale, it's barely detectable, while setting the screen to its maximum is like reading through a thick veil of honey smeared across the display. The warmth can be tweaked on a variable scale from 1 to 24. The warmth of the seven-inch touchscreen on the Kindle Oasis can be tweaked from white to a warm amber glow at any time, via the striped-back settings panel available anywhere in the operating system with a quick tap.Īmazon has included the ability to schedule the warm glow to creep in on a pre-set schedule, or automatically, based on the sun-set in your local area. Just like 'cigarettes and alcohol', which is also a song by Oasis the English band from the 90s, blue light can disturb your natural body's circadian rhythm and promote alertness – something the Oasis aims to fix in order to improve the quality of your sleep. Unlike the previous generation, the new Kindle Oasis can strip out the blue colours from the backlight to ease your eyes when tearing through a page-turner early in the morning, at sunset, or late at night. But rather than adding USB-C to handle charging on the new model, they settled on adding variable levels of "warmth" to the e-ink touchscreen. It seems like the Amazon R&D department were a little unsure how to improve on the aluminium-clad Kindle Oasis launched back in October 2017. The Kindle Oasis has the best display, the biggest display, it's built with more premium materials, and has features that aren't available on any other Kindle. To cut a long story short, if you're looking for the best ereader available – this is it.

Ultimately, however, the choice comes down to budget. ![]() Users who are willing to sacrifice these features for modern conveniences like wireless charging and a USB-C port can consider the Paperwhite Signature Edition. The bottom line? The Kindle Oasis, while more expensive, offers more for readers, particularly those who want a good display and an ergonomic form factor. These features, coupled with the cheaper price, are some reasons why users may prefer the Paperwhite model. Plus, the Signature Edition features a USB-C port for charging, while the older Oasis offers an outdated micro-USB port.
