Amazon goes to be holding an occasion in September. Though the corporate hasn’t stated a lot about it, David Limp, SVP of gadgets and companies at Amazon, took to LinkedIn recently to say that they needed to convey folks collectively on the new facility in Virginia and dropping a save the date for 9 September.
It is not unusual for Amazon to host occasions in September. It is a good launch window for the Black Friday and vacation buying durations, with prospects eager to get their fingers on new gadgets. It is at such September occasions that we have seen the likes of Amazon Astro, the Echo Wall Clock and different such niceties.
However what I am searching for is not a nicety, it is an important: the Kindle Oasis has been woefully disregarded lately and it is time that Amazon corrected this.
For individuals who do not know, the Oasis is the prince amongst Kindles. There is no flexible plastic across the rear, no compromise on the entrance lighting: it was crafted to be the final word studying gadget which is why its stagnation has me riled. The Kindle Oasis was unapologetically costly when it launched, crafted to suit your hand, ingenious with its magnetic covers and when the second-gen mannequin landed, it had the most important show of any Kindle device.
That show remains to be the most important and the perfect – I am excluding the Scribe right here – with the simplest entrance lighting, adaptive brightness and color temperature adjustment. It is a greater studying expertise than the Paperwhite which most individuals select, but it surely’s much more costly too.
It is also a Kindle I am not utilizing. Why not? As a result of I learn each single day with out fail and for the reason that launch of the Oasis that I personal, I’ve charged it so many instances the battery is actually spent. I solely get just a few days of studying, which tells me one factor: it is positively time for a brand new Kindle Oasis to be introduced.Now the Oasis is not good: positive, the buttons to show pages and the metallic unibody make it higher to learn on than another gadget, but it surely’s nonetheless encumbered with a Micro-USB socket.
Sure, precisely the kind of factor that may see steam popping out of the ears of European Parliament Members, since you want a unique charging cable for it. That is proper, all my different gadgets are USB-C – the truth is all the opposite Kindles are USB-C – whereas the Oasis carries the Micro-USB like an albatross round its neck.

Amazon Kindle Oasis
The final word studying gadget, that is for guide lovers who devour books at velocity and need the perfect gadget obtainable to learn them on.
In fact I would not change the design of the Oasis in any respect. I really like the texture of the cool metallic in my hand, it is a lot extra satisfying than plastic, however there’s one space I might like to see overhauled and that is the Kindle Retailer. Positive, it provides entry to books, but it surely’s by no means fairly as intuitive as I need it to be, it is so arduous to see precisely what you’ve got learn earlier than and the place you have to in a collection – particularly for those who’re diving into Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited. I need the Kindle Retailer to promote me books, but additionally catalogue my studying on my Kindle and off, to bridge the bodily and digital guide worlds. As a result of as any reader of Lee Kid’s Jack Reacher collection will let you know, you can’t differentiate these books primarily based on the blurb alone…
So that is what I need to see. You may maintain the AI-powered cleansing robots with built-in Ring cameras, you possibly can press pause on voice-controlled popcorn maker or sun shades, however please Amazon, do not abandon the perfect Kindle you’ve got ever made.
