Amazon wants to make eReaders exciting again by introducing the thinnest and lightest Kindle reader ever. The Kindle Oasis is a reinvention of their popular reader and is 30% thinner on average and over 20% lighter than any other Kindle. It is also the most expensive Kindle we've seen in years starting at $399.99.
Kindle Oasis—the eighth generation of Kindle—crafted from the ground up for readers, with an all-new, incredibly thin and light design, plus an included charging cover that delivers months of battery life. Kindle Oasis is available for pre-order today for $399.99 and will start shipping in the coming weeks. Meet Kindle Oasis at www.amazon.ca/kindleoasis.
“To lean back and read for hours, you need a sanctuary from distraction,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. “We want Kindle to disappear, and Kindle Oasis is the next big step in that mission. It’s the most advanced Kindle we’ve ever built—thin and ultra-lightweight, it gets out of the way so you can lose yourself in the author’s world.”
