Kindle Paperwhite vs Signature Edition vs Oasis | Best Amazon Kindle 2022

i love paints of coat

I have and the LED color rendition it's slightly different on either. Beyond that the grip with the buttons is something I cannot leave now that I'm here. It is so amazing to use it on the right hand and then switch to the left hand. You wouldn't think it would matter so much with a light device but holding something awkwardly for so many hours stinks. The Oasis is going to win for me, even if it was inferior in many other ways

Why would we have to worry about screen brightness outside? That’s the beautiful part about ink displays, the sun can light them

Amazing review and channel - finally found a british reviews with british pricing rather than the Dallar prices :]

whats the comic you showed on the screen during the review? :-)

I was going to get the Oasis but something about it not having USB-C turned me off.

Amazon says there is not auto-adjust light on the regular Kindle Paper White, just the Signature model and the Oasis (and the Scribe too).

my kindle paperwhite 5th or 6th (i forget) has been going strong a decade now... the case is falling apart where the battery clasped but other than that still works..

can you install e-books from a computer or do you have to buy them

I am just setting up my new Kindle signature e reader and in the “Storage management “ tab it says “used 543 of 26.77 GB”
To my knowledge the Kindle Signature is supposed to have 32 KG storage!?
I mean that IS what we paid for…. !
Thank you

Would you be able to address this in a video?

I’ve been trying to decide what I should upgrade my paperwhite to and I’m now leaning toward the signature edition, I’m not a fan of the micro USB and the lower battery life of the oasis. First world problems to be clear but I hate the idea of having to keep a micro USB around just to charge it when it needs it

You biceps did not start to ache exactly because your arm is small. For me it is enough to hold my phone close to my ear for a minute and I already feel aches in my biceps and shoulder. Am I a weakling? It’s just that strength and endurance rarely go hand in hand.

As soon as I heard “micro usb” the decision was clear.

you quoted my thoughts when talking about the charging port, if you want to make a short version of this that would be the selling point for me... enough said :)

I find my Boox Leaf superior to the Kindle Oasis. But I do have the Paperwhite Signature Edition.

Why would you mention turning the screen lighting up when reading in direct sunlight? Isn't it an e-ink screen?

I’ve owned my Oasis for a year and the battery now lasts less than 2 days with 1 hour reading per day. I’m now loathed to buy another as it is very expensive to only last a year.

Who uses back-lighting in Kindle when in direct sunlight? It's like a paper book, more natural light the better, turn that back-light off.

So, which one do you recommend?

Could someone explain to me why he's saying the micro USB is so horrible? What's the big deal?

Still not sure which one to get. I like the form of the Oasis because the way you can hold seems more natural to me in comparison to the Paperwhite. The problem is the price tag, which makes me look at Paperwhite.

I watched this video and as soon as I saw that the oasis used mico USB the choice was made. I got my Paperwhite and am very pleased. Decided to go with the signature since I wanted the 32gigs of storage and at that point the price difference was almost nothing.

Micro USB charging makes the Oasis a NO-GO

so what is the real difference for 50£ a auto light and a bit more memory !! my daughter wants to upgrade her paperwhite to a signature whats the point i cant see any to spend 180£ , ideas all welcome

After seeing the paperwhite and having used my Oasis for the last 2 years, my conclusion is that my favourite reading device is still my kindle Voyage. I still don't believe that Amazon replaced the Voyage with the oasis, just because a bunch of people could not live their lives without the physical buttons. The haptics of the Voyage and the form factor (fit in my pockets, which an oasis will never achieve), will always be my favourite kindle features. It seems that I will have to settle for a paper white in the future.

Amazon doesn't have Mein Kampf for purchase

I think I’m on my 5th Kindle. Once again I’ve started experiencing power issues and am reading books on my phone. I had the original Oasis but found that it never accessed the extra battery, and ran out of power too fast, and the new WiFi prevented connecting by cellular- if it detected a WiFi signal, i could not use the cellular connection. Since I did not have permission to connect to the detected WiFi, this was a problem and I found myself trying to find parking lots with no WiFi so I could download books. I replaced the oasis with a paper white, and for the first time did not pay for the cellular feature. I use it with my phone hotspot when I need to. Since my paper white no longer reliably turns on or reboots with a full charge, I’ve been reading on my smart phone. Besides not being able to purchase books directly to an Apple device, now I’m struggling with reader highlights. There is no way to remove the highlights. When every word on screen is highlighted, it is really difficult to turn the page. They have removed page scrolling from the other device app, and the highlights extend into the right margins. Not my highlights, don’t know why everyone else made the highlights, no way to clear them to get them out of the way. The last bitch I have is that the paper white is also missing the rotation feature, manual or auto. Really annoying if I’m trying to read and charge at the same time. I used to just rotate the device so the cord came out of the top and was out of the way. I think their battery tests are bogus and don’t reflect actual use. Sorry to dump on you, but there is no real customer feedback possible.

Great review. I was given the oasis as a gift several weeks ago and I truly do love it. I have a 10th generation paperwhite that I thought was great but the oasis straddles over the top of that old fence and really steps into a more refined and enjoyable experience.
The real beauty of the oasis screen for me was discovered when I used it to read under an incandescent light source. The font was truly razor sharp and indistinguishable from an actual paper page.

Not sure. I'm on my second or third paper white.. (old now... slow.. unreliable to charge I think the port is loose). Liking the idea of all but the cheapest $89 are larger screens 6.8 or 7". Page turning buttons is great.. or the Signature with wireless charging.. decisions decisions. Honestly if Amazon made their larger magazine sized version again I would get that. now that I'm older and starting to need glasses, fonts running larger I have to turn pages constantly or wear readers.. I would prefer the larger long discontinued format. which will I get? Oasis or Signature? Not sure.. oh and I think AT&T turned off 3g this year so the free cellular connectivity is gone in this part of US. Not sure what Oasis uses/used.

can you use audible on the oasis ?

as a person who worked for amazon call center for five years, i recommend the paperwhite for the basic and most reliable long term usage

I wonder why this still exists. Ink displays are awful and you can get way more features with a tablet.

Super helpful review and comparisons. Thank you, Chris!

Does it hurt our eyes if we read on this device for hours ?

I watched this when I was researching e-readers earlier this year. Took your advice and went with the 11th gen Paperwhite Signature and I could not be happier.
Thanks! That was really good advice.

Heroes by Stephen Fry is god tier. Nice for having it!

I like my kindle oasis, so much, simply because it doesn’t have a huge chin on the bottom and there’s no logo on it. It looks so premium and I love the buttons. But one fatal flaw for me is how wide it is, it is no longer pocketable. I want the newest paper white because even if it has the logo and chin on the bottom, it still has a small enough size to fit in pockets. I almost left my oasis behind in public twice already because I can’t pocket it. The increased battery life on the paper whites is greatly appreciated as well.

What do you mean when you say that the Oasis gets a lot brighter so you can read it in bright sunlight? Isn't it the nature of these screens that it doesn't need any internal light to operate in bright sunlight?

If I buy books and have a library on my Kindle device is it saved only on the Kindle device or is it saved to a storage space that can be accessed by a newer Kindle or other devices?

I still have 7th generation kindle but Sam going to update to Kindle signature

It’s a shame this tech hasn’t moved forward in many years. Amazon killed off its competitors and then killed off R&D.

Bought Kindle Oasis a week ago and it’s awesome. The buttons are game changer and the back which doesn’t collect you fingerprints is just superb.

Thanks for the video . May i ask if the higher end of the kindles would be faster ( scrolling, page refreshing , faster response to touch , less web surfing crashes than the the standard kindle ?I've got the standard kindle . Thanks , please let me know . 😇🥳🥳

Excellent & thorough comparison, thanks very much.

Thanks

My paper white just died last night. Thanks for the info! I was leaning away from the oasis and now I’m sure I won’t be getting it. Going with the signature edition.
