Meet Amazon’s thinnest and lightest Kindle ever. With an all-new ergonomic design and dedicated buttons to effortlessly turn the page, Amazon is letting users read more comfortably than ever.
The Amazon Kindle Oasis has the longest Kindle battery life—the leather charging cover (included) boosts battery life to last months. Users can choose from a black, Merlot or walnut removable cover. The high-resolution 300 PPI display provides crisp, laser- quality text. The Kindle reads like real paper without glare, even in direct sunlight.
It also includes enhanced, built-in adjustable light that evenly illuminates the screen.
