You are suddenly hyper aware of the fact that your grip on the device is vague at best and that it could slip at any point from your hands, which it does. This is greatly exacerbated while holding the device above you in bed. The grip on the back is really not well thought out as it's too thin to offer any substantial holding area and it's too broad for your index finger to reach the curved portion, so you're mostly holding on with your other three fingers and the thumb. The new metal surface looks and feels more premium but it is also very slippery. Also, while the power button is located at a more convenient location at the top while holding the device in your right hand, it goes into a bit more awkward location when holding the device in your left hand. The asymmetrical design looks clever at first but then you realize you can't just pass it over to your other hand without rotating it first, something you don't have to do with other Kindles. I'll just dive into what I don't like about the design because there's quite a lot of that. The new Oasis is also IPX8 rated, which means it is waterproof in up to two meters of freshwater for up to 60 minutes. Unlike the plastic back of the Oasis, the new Oasis has an aluminum back that looks and feels a lot more premium.

It still has the same asymmetrical design as before, with physical page turn buttons on the side that are just a bit smaller than before. The new Oasis is larger due to the larger 7-inch display up front, which I'll talk about later. The new Oasis looks similar to the original at first glance but there is a lot going on here. The new model brings with it a whole host of changes, including a larger display, waterproof aluminum body, Audible support and a faster processor. On its tenth anniversary, Amazon launched the new second generation Kindle Oasis, an update to its flagship Kindle device. Now ten years old, it is the most popular ebook reader in the world and one of the most influential tech products of our time. Backed by Amazon's terrific online library, it allowed people to carry around hundreds of thousands of books in their bag and read them anywhere.

The Amazon Kindle undeniably redefined the way people read their books.
