You can use a good case/pop-socket to resolve this issue as well. Some may find this as childish banter of Paperwhite fans because Oasis lovers believe that metal exterior is a major benefit. I think the fact that Oasis is also very light, weighing only 188g and thin, makes it a device that can easily slip out of your grip. For grip, the back of the device has a thicker part (a wedged-out design), but apparently, it doesn’t seem to help. It surely makes the device more durable and sophisticated, especially in its two metallic colors, Graphite and Champagne Gold.īut, for some, it’s a downgrade compared to Paperwhite’s plastic body because it keeps slipping out of your hand, especially when your hand sweats or when lying on your back. But, it’s the opposite for a faction who finds it too awkward to hold, and in this case, a pop-socket may come in handy.īut, the aluminum body, which gives a sleek and smooth texture to the Kindle Oasis, puts it in a tricky spot. So, for many users, it’s definitely a win because it’s more ergonomic. The asymmetric design is another prominent feature because it allows you to hold the Kindle better, unlike Paperwhite, which has thinner edges. It may not fit your pocket though – if portability is one of your primary concerns. To be honest, it doesn’t make a lot of difference because it’s only slightly wider, and you can still hold it in your palm comfortably having the tapered design which I find useful positioning your thumb on the page buttons.

Kindle Oasis 3 has the same 7-inch display with 300ppi (pixels per inch) screen resolution as its predecessor offering a super sharp screen quality and a premium reading experience. If you are planning to buy one, hopefully this review helps you take the right decision. Is Kindle Oasis 3 worth the hype? Does it provide remarkable features to match its significant price tag? So, I dived a bit deeper, and after hours of research here I am sharing my thoughts with you.

As an owner of Oasis 2 as well as the newest Paperwhite, I wanted to know what the latest model had in store for avid readers. When Amazon introduced an all-new Kindle Oasis in 2019, I was intrigued.
