Amazon.ca announced its most advanced Kindle ever – the all-new Kindle Oasis. It is the first-ever waterproof Kindle, boasting an IPX8 water resistance rating. Designed so readers can take their favourite stories even more places, it is protected against immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. Plus, it’s designed to withstand getting splashed at the beach or dropped in the bath tub, hot tub, or pool.
With a larger 7-inch and 300 ppi display, it also fits over 30 per cent more words per page for fewer page turns. Plus, it has the fastest page turns of any Kindle. Despite an even larger display, the all-new Kindle Oasis weighs only 194 grams, 10 grams less than the best-selling Kindle Paperwhite.
Additional all-new Kindle Oasis features that will surely improve your reading experience include:
- Fast-Charging Capabilities: The all-new Kindle Oasis includes a fast-charging capability that allows it to go from no battery to fully-charged in less than two hours.
- Larger Storage Capacity: The all-new Kindle Oasis comes with two storage options—8 GB, which has twice the storage as the first Kindle Oasis; and 32 GB, allowing you to store even more rich content with large file sizes, like comics, newspapers, magazines, and more.
- New Font Size and Bold Settings: Now choose from more font sizes than ever before, and five levels of boldness, so you can personalize your books so it’s perfectly comfortable for your eyes.
- Light Settings: Built-in ambient light sensors automatically adjust the display to your surroundings whether you’re in a dimly-lit room or outside in the sun—the light can be fine-tuned even further based on personal preferences.
- New Accessibility Options: In addition to the OpenDyslexic font, the all-new Kindle Oasis has a feature to invert black and white on the display if you have light sensitivity.
The all-new Kindle Oasis is available for pre-order today at www.amazon.ca/KindleOasis for only $389.99 and will start shipping October 31
