But if you're backpacking or otherwise relying on access to mains power every couple of days, then rapid charge could be a real boon, and Amazon has missed a trick by not catering for it.Īrguably another missed trick is the continued use of Micro-USB for the charge cable. During testing I found that 'little and often' top-ups were useful - half an hour here, half an hour there. It doesn't take too long to get to a full charge: 3 hours will do it. Like its predecessor the new Oasis is IPX8 water resistant, and so should survive a brief dunking in the bath. The previous model is very slightly heavier at 194g, although its dimensions are identical. The new Oasis weighs 188g and measures 159mm by 141mm by 3.4mm at its thinnest and 8.4mm at its thickest. The two latest Oasis models may look the same, but they're not completely identical. SEE: IT pro's guide to the evolution and impact of 5G technology (free PDF) The 2019 Oasis looks exactly the same as its predecessor: if you sit them side by side, there's absolutely nothing to distinguish them apart from the model numbers on the back. There is a significant bulge on the back where the battery sits, and this makes a nice area to grip, whereas the Forma and other Kindles are flat-backed. It delivers a premium experience in this respect, and has the edge for me over Kobo's Forma, primarily because of the aluminium back and excellent page-turn buttons. The first thing to note is that the Oasis is a lovely product both to hold and to read with.
