![]() ![]() Also if you touch screen while reading (for dictionary definitions, or taking notes, or searching words, and I do those a lot) it can be frustrating to do so in some areas of the screen because it interprets it as a touch to move page forward. You can go to settings and select in which area of the screen the touch should be, in case you are lefthanded and prefer to hold the screen on the left hand, but it is not easy to keep doing it whenever you feel like holding the ebook reader instead with the other hand. With the paperwhite, you move your finger, to touch the screen to move the page forward. ![]() you can just keep swapping hands and whichever thumb of the hand holding the oasis can rest on button and just click the next page when you are reading The oasis is really nice to hold one handed, it has a ridge at the back which allows for grip and then your thumb rests naturally on the top most button (which is default for turning to next page though you can adjust which button goes next and which goes to the previous one). The big thing about the oasis with buttons is that the text orientation and button orientation flips when you flip the ebook reader. But new ebook readers do not have as long battery lives as the old (less bright) ebook readers. ![]() Yes, the oasis has worse, probably battery life (it has more leds also) though how fast it drains (past the first indexing and updating of OS) depends above all on how bright you have the screen on. I am not the person you asked about the oasis being preferrable to the paperwhite. I think if one never used a e-ink ebook reader of an ergonomic size, then they got no idea that it is different, both eye and hand/wrist comfort.Īlso dedicated ebook readers, being so slow at everything else, can be much more focusing than reading on a phone or tablet. >I guess many are still using their phones when reading. Eink ebook readers (not the kindle fire, no) also are so bad and slow at everything but reading they are fantastically focusing and limiting dispersion. In my country kobo plus is much better and half the price of kindle unlimited for example).īut whichever you pick do your eyes a favor and get an eink model. Also check how expensive books are for each ecosystem, what programs there are in your country (library lending compatible to which models. I think search text is much better in amazon system, as is page numbering, but everything else about organizing documents and open formats and all is much better with kobo. Its battery life is not that bad either, not when compared to comparable kobo models with buttons.īut there is an important difference in ecosystems. I love the buttons, it allows you to swap right or left handle with no issue, not move fingers to swap pages and the balance, the back ridge of the kindle oasis is just fantastic. Onyx Boox also gives a 5GB cloud backup plan similar to Apple's iCloud, bundled with the device.Saw this on my feed, and for me the best, most ergonomic for my hands ebook reader is the kindle oasis. The notes app is also pretty sweet to use, and unless you have a reliance on a notes app already, you'll do just fine with it. It opened the files I threw at it without any issues. The Boox Neo Reader app, which is the default reading app for this device, has all the functionality you're expecting from an e-reader. Onyx Boox's software suite is pretty solid. However, the average user likely won't quite feel the need to download any app at all, especially for the basic functionality you expect from this device. I tried out the Kindle app for obvious reasons, and it worked well. The Tab X can run all the notetaking and reading apps you want, straight from the Google Play Store. This is more of an e-reader that happens to run Android 11, instead of being an Android tablet with an e-ink screen. Editors note: This e-ink tablet does not display color beyond blacks and grays, but if the user captures screenshots and exports them from the tablet, they appear in (partial) color.
