Kindle Oasis, a book from Amazon weightless – Milano Finanza

With a weight of just 131 grams and a truly thread-like thickness of 3.4 mm, the new Kindle Oasis has a single purpose: “to disappear in his hands” of the reader, as explained by the CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos. The new reader of books in digital format of the Seattle giant is in fact with dimensions and ergonomics designed for bookworms, the real readers not very interested in the new technology as such and much more to the things that they can offer in terms of practical level.

For this Amazon he has designed Oasis further simplifying the already skinny own Kindle interface in order to avoid distractions and allow the free reader to focus and immerse themselves in books. The new player has thus a much thinner frame around the display, unchanged in size than the other models, but much thinner in the middle, then to thicken slightly to one side, so as to contain the small circuit board and a battery, as well as two buttons dedicated exclusively to scroll back and forth through the pages.

in order to reach the two weeks of autonomy of the reader, Amazon has also added a second battery under the display, always touch type to facilitate research securities as well as single words and manage chapters and paragraphs, and of course based on e ink technology. As the Paperwhite model, which remains in the portfolio of readers with the basic model and the Voyager, Oasis also has a display with a non-direct lighting technology, not to tire the eyes, but improved over previous models thanks to a number of LEDs higher by 60% than the previous model and places along the lateral side of the player, longer than the base. The first impression confirms these numbers, offering a truly incredible reading comfort from all points of view.

The concentration of weight in the board with you hold Oasis fact shifts the center of gravity in the palm of the hand, thereby nullifying every sense of fatigue in reading. An accelerometer also allows you to automatically change the layout of the text depending on whether you wield with his right or left hand, also by varying the operating logic (up-down) of the two keys to the slide. Amazon Oasis is also equipped with a special enclosure which integrates a battery, thus bringing the overall range of the device to a month. Just also connect to the Oasis housing to recharge the batteries of the reader, without the need for a wall charger.

The light and wiry, Oasis, however, is designed to withstand with no damage to the inevitable falls, just like a paper book. The frame, lightweight and flexible, is in fact made of polymers, and then strengthened with a metal film applied with a structural electroplating process borrowed from the aeronautics sector. Excellent features that justify the price of 289 euro, elevated itself but bearable for the big players. (Reserved)
