Review: Fantastic Kindle, best yet! - I don't know what number Kindle this is for me. I tend to upgrade as newer Kindles come out. This Kindle is an upgrade from the 8th generation Oasis and that was an upgrade for a Voyage, which was an upgrade from the Paperwhite all the way back to the 1st Gen Kindle.. Having said that, I feel like I have a pretty good understanding for the different models and I can say by far this is the best one I have ever owned. It feels perfect in my hand as far as size. The metal back is a meh for me. It feels expensive and sturdy however I would it rather be rubber or something more grippy. The screen is the absolute best. Back lighting is even and crisp, screen is clear and easy to get immersed in. This Kindle truly makes it easy to forget the device and just enjoy reading. I also like the size. It's larger than I was expecting but perfect after getting used to it. The software is quick and responsive. It's very similar to the 8th generation with some different options and settings. I ordered a simple sleeve type case, because I don't want to add any weight or bulk to this Kindle. My biggest complaint on the 8th generation was the cover added too much bulk but without it there was not enough device for me to hold on to. Overall this is by and large the best Kindle yet. The price was well beyond what I could justify if not for the Kindle trade in program. I got 8 gig wifi w/o special offers for 139.00 ish, that's 25% discount for trading in and 75 for my old Kindle. I hope desertcart keeps this going because I so can justify being on the bleeding edge. Review: An excellent e-reader - The Kindle Oasis 2017 is a fine e-reader. Unfortunately, I dropped it against a metal dumbbell soon after opening the package, and nicked an edge. It's a small blemish. But the Oasis now visibly and incurably scraped in a way that a plastic Kindle probably would not have been. To cover the scraped edge and to make the gizmo a little easier to hold, I added a few patches of soft Velcro. The bulging side that houses the battery would be okay as form and function if it were a bit easier to grip. Moral: be careful. The Oasis 2017 is fast and the text is crisp. I like the 30%-larger screen. A simply formatted PDF is readable on it. Electronic ink on so small a screen doesn't work well for complicated PDFs. But if the resolution is high enough, as on the Oasis, it can handle material consisting of a single wide column of ordinary text typeset with a reasonably large font. You can use the physical buttons to avoid mistakes too easy to make when swiping the page--for example, when scrolling through the boxes (definition box, Wikipedia box, translation box) that pop up after you click on a word. The physical buttons also permit greater precision when scrolling through many pages of book titles in a library; it's too easy to open a book by mistake when swiping to the next page. Many reviewers say that the price is too high. Heck, I think all prices are "too high"--if by this I mean that I'd rather get high-quality things for a penny or two per thing. Many products have tiers of prices that change with relative quality and demand for the product. If you are willing and able to pay the asking price for a good or service--even though a cheaper but less capable version is available--then the price is not "too high" for you, even if you grumble about the price. From a seller's perspective, a price is not "too high" unless the seller cannot sell its stock at that price. A price can be "too high" for you given your requirements, desires and resources, but it is not "too high" in and of itself, without regard to available alternatives, the quality of the product, the supply of the product, and whether you are willing to buy it. ## Features - Our largest, highest resolution displayβ€” 7” and 300 ppi, reads like real paper without glare, even in bright sunlight. - The first waterproof (IPX8) Kindle so you are free to read in even more places. - Thin and light ergonomic design with dedicated page turn buttons and adaptive front light so you can read even more comfortably for hours. - Keep readingβ€”a single charge lasts weeks, not hours. - Enjoy twice the storage with 8 GB.

The brighter the room the stronger the backlighting to improve legibility. It works quite well although the levels aren’t as dramatic as a phone, for example. **Q: Does this have an external sd port** A: No. There is no way to add additional memory. **Q: How much does it weigh?** A: The new Kindle Oasis weighs between 6 and 7 ounces by itself and 10 ounces with the cover. Very light. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Kindle, best yet! *by J***K on September 11, 2018* I don't know what number Kindle this is for me. I tend to upgrade as newer Kindles come out.

It's almost Perfect... *by A***R on August 9, 2018* This E-reader is everything I expected, but there is one small gripe - battery life. The screen is very big and the pixel density makes the words seem extremely crisp, just oike a real book. The anti-glare design works perfectly when reading outside, the buttons for navigating are more than responsive. The screen is very thin, which is why I believe it is neccessary to use a case, which, admittedly makes the whole device much relatively bulky, but that's just the trade-off. The battery only lasts me about 10 hours at most and this is while airplane mode is on abd brightness set to 0. I guess I was just expecting a little more, maybe somewhere around 15 - 20 hours, but it's not a huge issue, because I don't take it on longer trips where I wouldn't be able to charge it whenever I wished. Still, If you're someone who likes a lot of battery power, I suggest the smaller and kore robust Kindle Paperwhite. All jn all, I love thr product. The Oasis is more elegant and has a bigger screen, includes the extremely useful navigational buttons, and makes reading a breeze. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/47978556-kindle-oasis-e-reader-previous-generation-9th-7-high-resolution](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/47978556-kindle-oasis-e-reader-previous-generation-9th-7-high-resolution) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
