Amazon has announced its latest Kindle device, the
Amazon Kindle Oasis. The new Kindle Oasis is Amazon’s highest resolution kindle
to date. It comes with a 7 inch display and 300 ppi. The Amazon Kindle Oasis
will go on sale in the UK on the 31st of October and it will costs £ 229.99. The
latest Kindle is designed to be waterproof.
“Ten years ago, we introduced our first Kindle
with the mission of delivering any book ever written in 60 seconds or less,”
said Dave Limp, Senior Vice President, Amazon Devices and Services. “With a
larger 7-inch, 300 ppi display, waterproof design, and Audible built right in,
the all-new Kindle Oasis is our most advanced Kindle ever. Its thin, light, and
waterproof design allows readers to stay engaged in the author’s world in even
more places than ever before.”
With a larger
7-inch, 300 ppi display, the all-new Kindle Oasis fits over 30 percent more
words per page for fewer page turns. Plus, it has the fastest page turns of any
Kindle. The crisp, print-quality text reads like paper with uniform display
lighting and without glare, even in bright sunlight. The ergonomic design
shifts the centre of gravity to your palm so the device rests in your hand like
the spine of a book, no matter which hand you chose to read with. You can
easily turn pages with dedicated page turn buttons and the display will
automatically rotate the page orientation whether you hold it with your left or
right hand.
