Strong an asymmetrical design and a modular design (with a cover that clips all’ereader and includes an extra battery) Kindle Oasis he has divided the network since its announcement. A few weeks since we first met in the preview with the player we have got to lose their hands on it for a longer period, which essentially confirmed our initial impressions of the product very well done, but not exactly revolutionary.
Thin so impressive, Kindle Oasis is still very, very strong. This is the first feeling that the gadget transmits, through a polycarbonate shell reinforced by a metal plate durable and lightweight, which makes sure that the reader will never miss out a crunch or a decrease, also deliberately trying to deform it. The contrast between thickness and strength is among the factors that affect the most impact with Oasis, of course along with the irregular profile that mirrors that of a folded magazine on itself.
In order to hold it comfortably in effect it takes some time: the center of gravity contraption moved towards the palm of the hands helps grip but requires wean the old way of holding an ebook reader. The learning curve in any case is accessible, the result is Total immersion in the content . Oasis is sitting in his hand on his own, hardly you need to think about to keep him; with his fingers resting on the back of the screen is offered to the little gadgets to gravity strength he needs, while the thumb is pushing the physical buttons of forward and backward movement of the page. The latter are easily identifiable by touch and are set in a spacious side frame on which the thumb can rest comfortably when not in use.

the work experience filings made by Amazon is infinitesimal, but its scope is concrete : extra reading about Oasis activities are reduced to a micro thumb pressure already resting on the button progress, while the rest of the brain can get sucked in by the text. A powerful effect, which contributes to the quality panel E Ink (high) at which previous products we have used: high definition, high contrast and good legibility in all conditions are characteristics of the panel 6 inches of Oasis as that of the Voyage and Paperwhite predecessors; the only difference is felt by activating the front lighting. The LEDs that illuminate the display have gone on the vertical side of the player, while at the same time number. Lighting is slightly more homogeneous : something that the casual reader will find it hard to notice but with two different generation Kindle flanked can be seen clearly.
Design aside, the battery life is another aspect which is focusing Oasis: the add-on sold with Oasis in fact contains an accumulator able to provide additional charge to the player . The coupling is simple and takes place via magnets and, assembled in this configuration, the player moves from a range of about two weeks to more than a month of operation. At the same time, however, the product also becomes more chubby and consistent: who loves Oasis in the wild, subtle and intangible, not like dovergli apply the cover , or possibly take it back and then release it, and set it somewhere when it comes time to start reading.

But this is a little thing. The main defects of Oasis, rather, are the other two. The first is its width, greater than that of the predecessor and competitors. For the most compact gadget of the class it is almost ironic not be able to slip into the inside pocket or the bag, yet it is so: where other readers glide easily, Oasis does not pass through a few millimeters irritants. The second is of course Price , which already on the day of the made headlines. Oasis is without a doubt the best reading experience made in Amazon and among the best in general on the square, but 289 euro for an ebook reader are not few, especially for those who have another gadget like that in the recently purchased drawer.
Oasis is a magnetic product, the look is her trump card with a design capable of dragging so powerfully the reader inside the content it offers; The extra battery gives more the feeling of extra that few appreciate , a compromise that many would maybe exchanged with a water resistance of some kind. The purchase of the last player short, Amazon should not be done with your eyes closed; the group of Jeff Bezos knows, and that’s why he kept on the shelves the other devices of the range, which all offer the same basic functionality. Hence, given that Oasis is not a gizmo that can undermine the conventions, a round of applause to Amazon still has to be done for reimagined his gadgets without giving limitations . We will wait for the revolution.
