Avid readers rejoice! The Kindle Oasis is on sale for just $150—an insane $130 off. And it’s waterproof—woohoo!—for worry-free beach and bathtub reading.
The Kindle Oasis is one of the most luxurious e-readers around. It’s super-thin and lightweight, and looks like paper thanks to a glare-free screen that’ll let you read in bright sun without squinting.
It’s also a sweet seven inches—the largest Kindle model—and is designed for one-handed reading (it’s weighted to feel like the spine of a book, and shifts the page orientation whether you’re a righty or a lefty).
One of our favorite features? The display automatically dims or brightens based on your surroundings. Crazy. No more craning your neck to switch on that lamp while trying to finish that last chapter in bed.
And a single charge will last you weeks!
This model has even more storage than ever—8GB. And Prime members have access to thousands of titles via Kindle Unlimited. It comes with a $5 e-book credit, too.
Eyes tired? Sync the Oasis to just about any Bluetooth speaker or headphones and it’ll read to you. And you can choose from two colors: Graphite or Champagne Gold.
People are losing it over this e-reader; it got more than 4,000 near-perfect reviews on Amazon.
“I've told my husband for years that if Amazon ever makes a waterproof Kindle I'm throwing my money at them,” wrote a delighted five-star reviewer. “The time has arrived!! I've owned many Kindles and am a big bathtub reader. I drowned one Kindle and have since been reading through a plastic bag. Very underwhelming. The new Oasis is gorgeous. I am smitten. Beautiful, even lighting. I was quickly won over by the bigger screen. I skipped the first Oasis so this is my first introduction to the lopsided form factor. At first I was a bit put off, but now I can honestly say this is the first Kindle I've truly been able to comfortably read one-handed. Love. Love. Love.”
“I'm officially in love! Got my Kindle about a week ago and I love it! It fits great in my palm; I love the rotation ability since I am always switching hands,” added another fan. “I love the large screen and the fact that it’s waterproof since I'm a bath reader and live by the beach. I have owned the Kindle Voyage, Kindle Paperwhite, Nook Color, and Nook Classic. By far this is my favorite e-reader.”
