The 10th-generation Oasis boasts an elegant aluminium body, a tapered back for one-hand gripping and physical buttons for navigating up and down and flicking through the pages (touching the screen also does it). The physical buttons are most convenient as your thumb automatically rests on those, making navigation easy and quick. Better still, this can be comfortably used by both right-handers and left-handers as the orientation changes depending on how you are holding it.

The 300 ppi display is smarter now as Amazon has added an adaptive front light to the 7-inch e-ink screen that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen based on ambience lighting. This ‘screen warmth’ will ‘gradually change with sunset and sunrise’ or you can manually adjust the shade and schedule the timing as per your preference. It can vary from white light to warm amber, and you can go all sepia to recreate the ageing, yellowed look of old books. The latest Oasis has 25 built-in LEDs in place for front lighting, which makes the screen brighter. The IPX8 waterproofing also ensures that the Kindle is safe near a pool or on the beach, making it an all-time reading companion even when you are chilling out.
