Amazon Kindle Oasis announced!

[hnzfaz]

Tbh, although the new pw and voyage are both same res, voyage does look slightly better. I believe the oasis would look even better than voyage.

hmm that seems like a backend typo. That's five months away! The website still says Apr 27.

Edit: looks like it's correct from other sources. Or maybe it's only affecting a certain cover colour...

May I know where is the best place to preorder the kindle oasis? Does everyone just order from Amazon website? Do they provide chargers that works with Singapore power plug or voltage?

-the Amazon website and use a forwarder like comgateway.com
-yes
-not out of the box because it's quite unnecessary. The Kindle just needs any USB port, e.g, your laptop usb port, your iphone charger etc.

I think it's still on launch day.

Thank you for the swift reply, I would like to check the need to use of comgateway is due to Amazon unable to ship to Singapore? Or does it take faster to ship by comgateway?

Amazon doesn't ship Kindles to Singapore addresses.

So, I finally caved in and placed an order for a kindle oasis, walnut cover. And the estimated delivery date is June 3rd 2016.

May I know which color did you order? Why is yours so long?

 

[magna_strike]

The kindle paperwhite is 300ppi same as the voyage and oasis...Might as well stick to the paperwhite...I would only upgrade my paperwhite if they come up with a bigger screen for me to read pdf...

I dunno if its just me,but i like my pw the size it is currently,not too big or too small..any bigger might as well just get tablet instead..

The waiting time is crazy long. Amazon didn't expect oasis to sell, so they made only a few sets?

If the tablet got e-ink, I would definitely buy it...My intention is to read books like those PDF, comics and manga...tried putting comics and pdf to my paperwhite...the zooming is really very difficult...
