Verdict

The 2017 Amazon Kindle Oasis (9th Generation) is a premium e-reader featuring a 7-inch Paperwhite E Ink display with a crisp 300 ppi resolution and a flush-front design. This model offers 32GB of internal storage and dual connectivity via Wi-Fi and free cellular 4G/LTE, housed in a sleek, ergonomic aluminium chassis that tapers to just 3.4mm. Its main pros include an IPX8 waterproof rating for reading in the bath, dedicated physical page-turn buttons, and Bluetooth support for Audible audiobooks. However, some cons include its relatively high price point, the use of an older micro-USB charging port, and a battery life that can be shorter than other Kindle models when using high brightness or cellular features.
