Engadget Review
The Kindle Oasis is the best Kindle ever made. But it's way too expensive for most people, especially when cheaper models offer the same sharp display and backlighting.
It’s the best Kindle yet, but there’s no reason to spend $290 on it.

Pros
- Insanely thin and light
- Comes with a charging case
- Better backlighting than the KindleVoyage
Cons
- Pricey
- Doesn't do much more than the $100 Paperwhite

Heck, the Kindle Paperwhite delivers so much of the overall experience that it's nigh-impossible to justify spending almost three times the amount on a premium ebook reader.
