Unlike any kindle
Reimagined to be
our thinnest''
New—Designed to
feel as light as paper, Kindle Oasis is over 20% lighter and 30%
thinner on average than any other Kindle. The handgrip tapers to an
ultrathin 0.13” display so you can read comfortably for hours.
New—Kindle Oasis
combines our strongest cover glass and a featherweight frame infused
with metal using structural electroplating, ensuring it is
lightweight while also resilient enough to take anywhere you want to
read.
Perfectly
Balanced''
New—A tapered
ergonomic handgrip shifts the center of gravity to your palm, to rest
in your hand like the spine of a book. Perfectly balanced for
one-handed reading, Kindle Oasis enables you to get lost in your
story.
New—Comfortably
turn the page with either the touch display or dedicated page turn
buttons located on the front of the handgrip. Whether you choose to
read with your left or right hand, Kindle Oasis automatically rotates
the page orientation to match.
Highest
resolution Kindle with enhanced lighting
Kindle Oasis
features a high-resolution 300 ppi display for crisp, laser-quality
text—all on the same 6” display size as Kindle Voyage. A
redesigned built-in light features 60% more LEDs than any other
Kindle, increasing the consistency and range of screen brightness for
improved reading in all types of lighting. Kindle Oasis guides light
toward the surface of the display with its built-in front
light—unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes—so you can
read comfortably for hours without eyestrain.
Dual-battery
charging system delivers months of battery life—our longest ever
New—Charge the
device and cover simultaneously while snapped together and plugged
in. When on the go, the cover will automatically recharge the device,
giving you months of combined battery life. Plus, a new hibernation
mode minimizes power consumption when your Kindle is inactive,
extending battery life to its fullest capacity.
Premium leather
cover
New—The removable
charging cover is made of high-quality leather and comes in your
choice of black, merlot, or walnut. The cover opens like a book and
fits closely around the bezel, waking Kindle Oasis when opened and
putting it to sleep when closed. Twelve magnets form a secure
attachment between device and cover, while still easy to detach when
the lightest possible weight is desired.
Reads like a book
Flip through
books while saving your place
Page Flip makes it
easy to find pictures, charts, maps, your notes and highlights from
different parts of a book. While you swipe to other pages or zoom out
to see page thumbnails, Page Flip automatically saves the page you’re
reading, pinning it to the side of your screen so you’ll never lose
your place.
Sharp, dark text
Enjoy text that
reads like the printed page. Our fonts, such as Bookerly, have been
hand-tuned at the pixel level for maximum readability.
Export and share
notes
It’s now easy to
export notes and highlights from a book to your e-mail, so you can
always have them on-hand for reference. Receive your notes both as an
easily printable PDF that’s ready to bring to your book club, and
as a simple file you can open in your favorite spreadsheet app.
Read comfortably
with one hand
Lighter than a
paperback, comfortably hold Kindle in one hand for those times when
you can’t put the book down.
Lose yourself in
a book
By design, Kindle is
purpose-built for reading and creates a sanctuary so you can lose
yourself in a book. Unlike tablets and phones, Kindle doesn’t
distract you with social media, emails, and text messages and goes
beyond a book
Won't tire your
eyes in the dark
Unlike back-lit
tablets that shine in your eyes, Kindle guides light toward the
surface of the display with its built-in front light so you can read
comfortably for hours without eyestrain.

Wifi or Wifi +
Free Cellular Connectivity
A Kindle e-reader
with Wi-Fi is a great choice if you already have a high-speed
internet connection and wireless router set up in your home. If you
do not have Wi-Fi set up at home, a free cellular connectivity model
may be a better option—free cellular connectivity lets you download
books anytime, anywhere.
Wi-Fi + Free
Cellular Connectivity
A Kindle e-reader
with Wi-Fi + free cellular connectivity is the easiest option because
there is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase, and
read right out of the box. Built-in free cellular connectivity uses
the same wireless signals that cell phones use, but there are no
monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for cellular connectivity.
The added convenience of cellular connectivity enables you to
download books anytime, anywhere, without having to find a Wi-Fi
hotspot connection. Your Kindle e-reader may use wireless
connectivity to make other services available, such as wireless
delivery of personal documents, which may require an additional
charge. For more information, see
Amazon Device
Terms of Use.
With wireless
coverage in over 100 countries and territories, free cellular
connectivity lets you download books anytime, anywhere, whether
you're relaxing on a beach, halfway through a hike, or waiting on the
tarmac. Check cellular connectivity coverage area.
For U.S. customers
traveling abroad, additional charges apply for wireless delivery of
periodical subscriptions. To avoid any charges, you can always use a
Wi-Fi connection or download items via your computer and transfer
them to your Kindle using USB.
Some books may not
be eligible for download over cellular connectivity, including
promotional content or where indicated on a book detail page.
