I love my Oasis.
Comment on What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?

Yes, the Kindle Paperwhite and Oasis have good low level backlights. I’ve had both and currently use and recommend the latter for clarity, touch sensitivity and size.

I really want to upgrade to an oasis but I haven’t been able to justify the cost. My paper white works so well but the touch swipe is finicky fairly frequently which makes me miss page turn buttons a lot.

I got mine secondhand for around £90, so keep your eyes peeled perhaps. The touchscreen is definitely better than the Paperwhite.

Oh damn.
I’ll def keep an eye out at that price.

Aren’t at least all Paperwhites front lit? No backlighting
ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You might be right, I just auto-typed backlight. I guess the Oasis is backlit judging from how mine appears.

I think they’re almost all front lit. It doesn’t necessarily look like it, but I think there’s three layers in the screen with e-ink being the bottom one and the one the lights light up is on top, so the e-ink part is being front lit even though it looks like the light might be coming behind the screen.
