Back in 2016, Amazon launched Kindle Oasis, the company’s premium e-book reader that features a dedicated page turn buttons. Last year, the device was upgraded and the company launched the second-generation Kindle Oasis.
Now, Amazon has launched the third-generation Kindle Oasis in India which comes with a 7-inch display, adjustable color temperature for night reading, and more. It is now available for pre-order via Amazon India and will go on sale from 19th August.
The new Kindle Oasis features a 7-inch glare-free paperwhite display with 300ppi pixel density. The company says that it uses the latest e-ink technology and features 25 LEDs up front, which can be color adjusted.
For nighttime reading, you can turn the display color tone to warm, ensuring that it does not cause eye fatigue. During the day, the color tone can be set too cool. Also, you can automatically set the e-book reader to adjust colors based on sunset and sunrise.
It has dimensions of 159 x 141 x 3.4-8.3 mm and weighs 194 grams. It comes in two storage variants — 8GB and 32GB and users get free cloud storage for all Amazon content. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11n and an optional 4G, and supports formats like Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF and more.
The device is also IPX8 rated to protect against immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. Apart from this, users can adjust the text size and boldness and read with Kindle-exclusive fonts for maximum readability. As usual, this new Kindle Oasis offers several weeks of battery life on a single charge.
The new Kindle Oasis is priced at Rs. 21,999 (~$316) for the 8GB Graphite version and Rs. 24,999 (~$359) for the 32GB WiFi Champagne Gold version. On the other hand, the 32GB WiFi + 4G Graphite version costs Rs. 28,999 (~$416).
