Also, the screen quality and resolution is nice, but nothing dramatically different than recent generations. Saved books load faster, the on-screen keyboard has minimal lag, and browsing the Kindle store, one slow page-load at a time, is less annoying. Our other first-day impressions were that the included leather cover - which attaches magnetically to the rear of the Oasis - is handsome and absolutely the sort of thing we'd have picked up separately anyway (e-ink screens are sturdy, but look horrendous if and when they're scratched), and that the touch-sensitive interface is more responsive. The Oasis disappears so completely into your hand, you start to wonder why physical books don't include a similar lop-sided heft. By concentrating most of the device's weight onto one side, it takes less effort to grip it one-handed. It's a space-saving compromise that frequent e-book readers will appreciate, since pressing buttons can be less distracting than touching the screen, and the device itself is still relatively compact.īut even if you could care less about buttons, the disproportionate design also makes the Kindle more comfortable to hold.

So instead of placing page-turn buttons on both sides of the screen, this asymmetrical Kindle gives you a single pair, and automatically rotates the screen to accommodate a left or right-hand hold. The Oasis is a full rethink of how we hold and use an e-ink reader, which is with one hand at a time (or no hands). But guts are overrated, and the Oasis is ingenious. This is the gut reaction that most people who've spent a lot of time with Kindles will probably have. The Oasis looks strange, with its square proportions, its lopsided hump, and its raised page-turn buttons, which sit under thumb as you grip the device.
