Kindle Oasis, “road” test – The Republic



DISPLAY 330 PPI, LED LIGHTING ON THE VERTICAL THAT sPREADING THE LIGHT IN UNIFORM WAY, WITH BATTERY LIFE OF A FEW DAYS, WITH HOUSING FOR MAGNETIC HOOK EQUIPPED WITH BATTERY, ARRIVES IN 9 WEEKS

[E-READER AMAZON] the good quality products are numerous, far less than excellent. And then there are the “top”, even more rare, those before which you stop to admire shapes and finishes. One of them belongs to an unexpected category: that of electronic book readers. To achieve it was Amazon, which has branded its most advanced Oasis Kindle device. Here the American giant has put the best of its design and production capacity, creating a player from the nearest to the square, very light form (it weighs just over 130 grams) and with the presence, in spite of the touch screen, two physical buttons places on the frame to “turn” the page. On this side, thanks to the automatic rotation can either be right or the left, the edge is much wider, as well as the greater the thickness: a winning choice from the standpoint of ergonomics, since the Oasis can be easily supported with an even hand thanks to a perfect balance. The decision to propose the Oasis Kindle with a luxurious leather case included in the package makes the product also splendid visual and tactile point of view, making it unique in the readers’ views. The cover – available in black, burgundy or walnut – adds a little ‘weight, but also a second battery, which brings the total autonomy estimated two to six weeks of use. If in the first case,

Oasis or without case, the “reduced” autonomy is justified by weight and dimensions that do not allow the use of a battery more capable, with the duration of the cover is mounted from records. In any case, the housing engages magnetically and so remove it or exclude it is painless and fast operation. The Oasis touch screen is similar to that of the Kindle Paperwhite and Voyage: six inches in diagonal with backlighting and a resolution which guarantees 300 per inch density points. To improve here is the maximum brightness, increased by 60 percent compared to the other two devices. The user experience is identical to that of the products “brothers” with the Kindle practical and intuitive interface, including the new “swipe page” that allows you to quickly browse through the books without losing your place. All books downloaded to the memory capacity (four gigabytes) are automatically stored in the Amazon cloud, and then recovered at any time and on any other Kindle devices. Everything perfect, then? Yes technically and aesthetically, less than the cost. Amazon has chosen to propose to 289,99 EUR free wi-fi version and 349,99 Euros one with integrated 3G connectivity (which covers free one hundred countries in the world): a high price and with a significant difference compared with 130 euro the Kindle Paperwhite (September also in white) and 190 of the Voyage. Is it worth spending so much for an electronic book reader? Those who love the unique products will no doubt, while those who are more careful in spending will also find great satisfaction in the other models. The new Amazon reader is a bold experiment (and expensive). Here’s what it looks like and how we experienced. asymmetrical design and cover with additional battery function. The price, though high, is, however, appropriate to the quality of the product and is around 290 euro
