I was a little apprehensive at the beginning on choosing this case instead of the original Amazon one. But the original case was far above my budget and I had to settle for cheaper options. This case had a lot of positive reviews and so I took a risk and bought. And boy, was I lucky.The case fits my Kindle perfectly and it is a real beauty. Excellent build quality, magnetic lock and Auto Wake Up function only adds to its charm.This case is a worthy buy for anyone.

Almost as good as the original Amazon cover which costs over ₹2000.I have the original Amazon case. The original case’s plastic is harder and the quality is better too.But this one is good. I like the weight. Just about right. The original Amazon case is a bit bulky.This cover will protect your Kindle paperwhite and also give you the auto wake/sleep feature in less than 1/3 price of the original Amazon cover.Go for it. Worth 699₹ !

Love the new Kindle Oasis! I am an avid reader and do most of my reading on my Kindle. Have used different Kindle devices since 2011, from Kindle Keyboard, to Voyage. In Kindle Oasis, I love the larger screen size, makes reading a joy. The page turn buttons have made a comeback after they were discontinued on the first Kindle Oasis. Again, super convenient. The aluminum back. gives the device a very solid feel. This is easily my favourite Kindle so far.

+++++PROS+++++1.Sleek and solidly built. It looks very nice (but seems like it would be easily damaged if dropped).2.Perfectly even screen illumination. Much better than my Paperwhite.3.Larger screen, less page turns, larger pictures and graphics.4.Faster page turns than any other Kindle I have seen. Waterproof (nice, but not a huge selling point for me). Fast screen rotation when changing hands. Audible. I haven’t tried this yet, but definitely a good feature, even if you can’t listen and read at the same time.+++++CONS+++++1.It’s expensive.2.It’s heavy. I’m surprised at this. They should have stuck with plastic to keep the weight down. It’s wide. Not suitable to carry in your pocket. I can cram my Paperwhite into my back pocket but not the Oasis.3.It’s slippery. This is my biggest complaint. The metal is smooth and hard to grip. It is not easy or comfortable to hold for a long time. Reading in bed is even harder if you need to hold it up vertically because it is very difficult to find a good grip that also allows access to the page buttons. I was constantly hitting them by accident.4.The auto brightness doesn’t seem to work at all for me, I have never seen it adjust even going from a dark to light room. 5.Battery life has not been great as compared to other kindles.So while there is a lot to like, I am debating returning it due to the difficulty in holding it for long periods of time. At this premium price, it should be more ergonomic. I am tempted to buy the previous Oasis model, which is much lighter and smaller, even though I like the larger screen. Ultimately I think most people will be just fine with a Paperwhite. The weight is similar and it is much easier to hold. I will use it for a few more days and see how it goes and adjust my review accordingly if my opinion changes one way or another.

Perfect fit for the new kindle paperwhite. The cover is lightweight and adds to the looks of the device. Magnetic lock works perfectly. The pre-ordered product is delivered on time neatly packed.

I currently own 2 Kindles: 7th Gen Paperwhite and 2nd Gen Oasis (yes, I like to pamper myself while reading).Both fell short for various reasons.The 7th Gen Paperwhite’s screen is not flush and is prone to picking up dust or lint between the bezel and the screen. Its battery life is not as long-lasting as its predecessor (the 6th Gen PW probably has the most outstanding battery life of all Kindles), and I also made the mistake of using it in tandem with the luxurious Oasis.The 2nd Gen Oasis came with many wonderful technological breakthroughs – a gorgeous 7-inch display, the battery stacked to one side which made it easier to hold with one hand, waterproof capability, and the extra storage – but it disappointed me at one key aspect: the ability to hold it for a long period of time. You see, the 2nd Gen Oasis was the first model to sport a metallic finish on the back. The reasoning behind this might have been to lend it a premium finish, but it is also had the unintended consequence of being very slippery, especially if your palms tend to sweat a lot. Add to this the fact that the edges were sharp and liable to dig into your skin. I have been using the Oasis regularly since launch day and the device still doesn’t feel like ‘mine’. I keep adjusting my hold and grip while reading after every few minutes – this is not something you expect to do after nearly a year of heavy use.Hence, despite the fact that I already use 2 Kindles, the 10th Gen Paperwhite instantly caught my eye. Thankfully, purchasing it has turned out to be an addition of utility rather than overkill. With the new model, Amazon has realized the pinnacle of its vision for Kindle design and technology.– The flush screen, just like the one on Oasis 2, is aesthetically pleasing to read.– The new version is the lightest Paperwhite ever, which makes holding it for long periods even less of a chore. Gone are the days of switching hands or grips at regular intervals.– The rounded edges don’t dig into my hand and let me focus completely on my reading.– I am not one for using my Kindles near pools or while enjoying a bath, so waterproof capability comes in useful only if I ever happen to spill some sort of liquid on it.Overall, if you are looking to upgrade to the 10th Gen Paperwhite for the features, then it might not present a whole lot of exciting new boxes to consider. But, from a design standpoint, the latest version truly excels at stripping away the noise even further, and transporting you into your own private bookish world.Update (23/11/18): So I contacted Amazon Support regarding the update problem. The device was failing to update (via WiFi and USB) to the v5.10.1.2, which happens to be the latest version.The response from Amazon Support: “I’d like to inform you that this is a known issue and a master ticket has already has been raised and the issue has been escalated and we are waiting for the update.”They also assured that the problem was just a software problem, NOT a hardware problem. So I’m going to just sit tight and wait for the software patch to arrive. No big deal.Update (30/11/18): Update to v5.10.1.3 successful. No more pending issues with the device.

I was skeptic about buying a kindle thinking how much I would miss the paperback thing. I tried reading ebooks on laptop and also on mobile even in the kindle app, nothing worked anywhere near the paperback experience.Allured by the pre-order offers, bought this one and I am loving it (it’s only the fourth day I am using it though, still I’m loving it). A great thing is that I can change the font and spacing, something that I couldn’t do in the paperback.This is my first kindle so can’t really compare with other versions. But if you are a paperback fan and thinking whether a kindle is worth it, I would say you must give this one a try and you will definitely love it.EDIT: It’s almost 1.5 months with the Kindle, I read almost everyday and I’m still loving it.The backlight thing has solved many problems that a paperback has: I can sit with my kindle by the dark riverside in the evening, I can switch off my room lights before going to bed and not get up later to switch them off after reading a little, I can read it under a blanket in winter and I can read it in train and flight regardless of whether the ambient lights are on or not.I just hope this device lasts long. If I face any problem with this device later or I stop loving it, I’ll update this review.

Simple, elegant and supreme fight. Pricing could be better though

I bought this and another 3rd party leather case for 1k for my All-New Kindle Paperwhite. Though there are many other cheaper cases out there, there’s literally nothing like this or even closer to this.Pros:- The case gives a premium feel, has an excellent finish and is smooth and sexy- It gives a great grip while reading- Water doesn’t really affect it too since this is water safe- Protects the screen of the Kindle (instead of buying a screen guard like a lot of people, go for this since most guards will not retain your natural reading experience – the reflections sorta increase and the whole Kindle feeling goes away)- The colour is damn attractive and classyCons:- Price: higher than many other third party cheap covers out there- Putting this or any screen guard on will slightly increase the weight of the Kindle (doesn’t really trouble me, but can be a concern for extended reading times)But my personal equation here: Safety of the Device > Little additional weight- This review is after using the cover for a couple of weeks now, so cannot comment on wear and tear yet.Final Verdict:If you want to protect your Kindle, go for this premium cover as compared to any other cheaper cover out there in the market.

Pros:- The screen is far better than the previous one that I owned(6th gen basic kindle).- The screen contrast is very good. Fonts are more legible compared to the previous generation basic kindle- The display is updated to E-Carta. This is good in terms of technology.- The backlight is definitely a USP of this product. The light spread out evenly across the display panel. Even keeping backlight to 1 point is enough for most people for comfortable reading.Cons:- Unlike in the US version, there is no Bluetooth support. Hence users may not be able to use audiobooks from audible. But this only a matter of software update that Amazon can enable the BT interface. Not sure when this might happen.- They gave Rs.200 give e-book voucher on pre-order. They could have given 3 months kindle unlimited like in the US.- I am skeptical about battery life. Need to use the device for a few more days to determine actual battery life.- The difference of color of charging indicator LED is hard to tell when the device is charging or completely charged.Price is fair in my opinion as kindle without special offers(with ads) is sold at $109 in the US which translates to INR7700/-. Expecting this for less price does not make any sense unless this is manufactured in India.

I have been using it for 2-3 days now.Pros-As always experience of reading on kindle is awesome-Screen is good though just 167 ppi, u can notice a little haziness-Light is very good , very even can read in dark comfortably-Touch is also working very well-Can read any time any where, you are never without a bookCons-Strangely in 2 days use it had abruptly restarted twice, not sure what is that. Will wait for few more days to test this issue- battery life is not that good, it could be due to light but its certainly not gonna last weeks-its 4GB but you only get around ~2.6 GB

Absolutely no bubbles.

Mind blowing purchase. This is my second kindle. I already own basic kindle but thats difficult to read at night. But this kindle paperwhite 10th gen has inbuilt light which makes my night reading experience fantastic. I love the design and its sleek which is easy to hold for a long time.I like the resolution , clarity and battery backup.(The only option i could not find is DISABLE TOUCH.)It has the features of kindle voyage and oasis. That is FLUSH SCREEN, WATER PROOF and like Oasis we can invert the background (black background with white letters). We can connect bluetooth and hear the audios of our favourite books.Over all its a boon to avid readers..EDIT : Review of Kindle 10th gen after 2 months of usage : Everything is fine as i described before.DISABLE TOUCH option is enabled after further updation.Also battery percentage is displayed at the top of the kindle. I’m enjoying my fav books with my fav kindle..

I have been using it for 2-3 days now.Pros-As always experience of reading on kindle is awesome-Screen is good though just 167 ppi, u can notice a little haziness-Light is very good , very even can read in dark comfortably-Touch is also working very well-Can read any time any where, you are never without a bookCons-Strangely in 2 days use it had abruptly restarted twice, not sure what is that.

If you’re looking for an e-reader that also lets you read in dark, then the All-new Kindle 10th Gen is the reader for you. It has all the features of its previous versions and additional backlighting to enable reading in the dark. I pre-ordered this device and availed it’s offers. Got my first e-book for ₹200/- off. Here are some pros and cons I observed after using it for 3 days:Pros:1. Light weight, one-handed operation is easy.2. No glare, no strain on eyes.3. Lets you download and read a variety of books across various genres.4. One full charge lasts for weeks.5. Lets you read PDF e-books and you can also download them from your PC.6. Lets you carry your entire library. Storage space claimed is 4GB.7. VoiceView screen reader works well with a Bluetooth speaker.8. Comes with a free extended warranty i.e, a 2 year device protection plan free of any charge. (For customers who pre- ordered it).9. Word Wise and Vocabulary Builder are very good features.10. Undisturbed reading, unlike tablets and smartphones.11. Cloud storage possible.Cons:1. Page turning or clicking may seem odd at first as the page refreshes everytime and the type of ink used.2. Isn’t waterproof or water resistant.3. Free storage space I got was only 2.37GB which is much less than the claimed 4GB.Overall, it’s a good buy for anyone who loves to read. Occasional readers may find it a waste of money.

Gone are the days of switching hands or grips at regular intervals.– The rounded edges don’t dig into my hand and let me focus completely on my reading.– I am not one for using my Kindles near pools or while enjoying a bath, so waterproof capability comes in useful only if I ever happen to spill some sort of liquid on it.Overall, if you are looking to upgrade to the 10th Gen Paperwhite for the features, then it might not present a whole lot of exciting new boxes to consider. But, from a design standpoint, the latest version truly excels at stripping away the noise even further, and transporting you into your own private bookish world.Update (23/11/18): So I contacted Amazon Support regarding the update problem. The device was failing to update (via WiFi and USB) to the v5.10.1.2, which happens to be the latest version.The response from Amazon Support: “I’d like to inform you that this is a known issue and a master ticket has already has been raised and the issue has been escalated and we are waiting for the update.”They also assured that the problem was just a software problem, NOT a hardware problem. So I’m going to just sit tight and wait for the software patch to arrive. No big deal.Update (30/11/18): Update to v5.10.1.3 successful. No more pending issues with the device.

Mind blowing purchase. This is my second kindle. I already own basic kindle but thats difficult to read at night. But this kindle paperwhite 10th gen has inbuilt light which makes my night reading experience fantastic. I love the design and its sleek which is easy to hold for a long time.I like the resolution , clarity and battery backup.(The only option i could not find is DISABLE TOUCH.)It has the features of kindle voyage and oasis. That is FLUSH SCREEN, WATER PROOF and like Oasis we can invert the background (black background with white letters). We can connect bluetooth and hear the audios of our favourite books.Over all its a boon to avid readers..EDIT : Review of Kindle 10th gen after 2 months of usage : Everything is fine as i described before.DISABLE TOUCH option is enabled after further updation.Also battery percentage is displayed at the top of the kindle. I’m enjoying my fav books with my fav kindle..

I have been using it for 2-3 days now.Pros-As always experience of reading on kindle is awesome-Screen is good though just 167 ppi, u can notice a little haziness-Light is very good , very even can read in dark comfortably-Touch is also working very well-Can read any time any where, you are never without a bookCons-Strangely in 2 days use it had abruptly restarted twice, not sure what is that. Will wait for few more days to test this issue- battery life is not that good, it could be due to light but its certainly not gonna last weeks-its 4GB but you only get around ~2.6 GB

I currently own 2 Kindles: 7th Gen Paperwhite and 2nd Gen Oasis (yes, I like to pamper myself while reading).Both fell short for various reasons.The 7th Gen Paperwhite’s screen is not flush and is prone to picking up dust or lint between the bezel and the screen. Its battery life is not as long-lasting as its predecessor (the 6th Gen PW probably has the most outstanding battery life of all Kindles), and I also made the mistake of using it in tandem with the luxurious Oasis.The 2nd Gen Oasis came with many wonderful technological breakthroughs – a gorgeous 7-inch display, the battery stacked to one side which made it easier to hold with one hand, waterproof capability, and the extra storage – but it disappointed me at one key aspect: the ability to hold it for a long period of time. You see, the 2nd Gen Oasis was the first model to sport a metallic finish on the back. The reasoning behind this might have been to lend it a premium finish, but it is also had the unintended consequence of being very slippery, especially if your palms tend to sweat a lot. Add to this the fact that the edges were sharp and liable to dig into your skin. I have been using the Oasis regularly since launch day and the device still doesn’t feel like ‘mine’. I keep adjusting my hold and grip while reading after every few minutes – this is not something you expect to do after nearly a year of heavy use.Hence, despite the fact that I already use 2 Kindles, the 10th Gen Paperwhite instantly caught my eye.

If you’re looking for an e-reader that also lets you read in dark, then the All-new Kindle 10th Gen is the reader for you. It has all the features of its previous versions and additional backlighting to enable reading in the dark. I pre-ordered this device and availed it’s offers. Got my first e-book for ₹200/- off. Here are some pros and cons I observed after using it for 3 days:Pros:1. Light weight, one-handed operation is easy.2. No glare, no strain on eyes.3. Lets you download and read a variety of books across various genres.4. One full charge lasts for weeks.5. Lets you read PDF e-books and you can also download them from your PC.6. Lets you carry your entire library. Storage space claimed is 4GB.7. VoiceView screen reader works well with a Bluetooth speaker.8. Comes with a free extended warranty i.e, a 2 year device protection plan free of any charge. (For customers who pre- ordered it).9. Word Wise and Vocabulary Builder are very good features.10. Undisturbed reading, unlike tablets and smartphones.11. Cloud storage possible.Cons:1. Page turning or clicking may seem odd at first as the page refreshes everytime and the type of ink used.2. Isn’t waterproof or water resistant.3. Free storage space I got was only 2.37GB which is much less than the claimed 4GB.Overall, it’s a good buy for anyone who loves to read. Occasional readers may find it a waste of money.

Pros:- The screen is far better than the previous one that I owned(6th gen basic kindle).- The screen contrast is very good. Fonts are more legible compared to the previous generation basic kindle- The display is updated to E-Carta. This is good in terms of technology.- The backlight is definitely a USP of this product. The light spread out evenly across the display panel. Even keeping backlight to 1 point is enough for most people for comfortable reading.Cons:- Unlike in the US version, there is no Bluetooth support. Hence users may not be able to use audiobooks from audible. But this only a matter of software update that Amazon can enable the BT interface. Not sure when this might happen.- They gave Rs.200 give e-book voucher on pre-order. They could have given 3 months kindle unlimited like in the US.- I am skeptical about battery life. Need to use the device for a few more days to determine actual battery life.- The difference of color of charging indicator LED is hard to tell when the device is charging or completely charged.Price is fair in my opinion as kindle without special offers(with ads) is sold at $109 in the US which translates to INR7700/-. Expecting this for less price does not make any sense unless this is manufactured in India.

I was skeptic about buying a kindle thinking how much I would miss the paperback thing. I tried reading ebooks on laptop and also on mobile even in the kindle app, nothing worked anywhere near the paperback experience.Allured by the pre-order offers, bought this one and I am loving it (it’s only the fourth day I am using it though, still I’m loving it). A great thing is that I can change the font and spacing, something that I couldn’t do in the paperback.This is my first kindle so can’t really compare with other versions. But if you are a paperback fan and thinking whether a kindle is worth it, I would say you must give this one a try and you will definitely love it.EDIT: It’s almost 1.5 months with the Kindle, I read almost everyday and I’m still loving it.The backlight thing has solved many problems that a paperback has: I can sit with my kindle by the dark riverside in the evening, I can switch off my room lights before going to bed and not get up later to switch them off after reading a little, I can read it under a blanket in winter and I can read it in train and flight regardless of whether the ambient lights are on or not.I just hope this device lasts long. If I face any problem with this device later or I stop loving it, I’ll update this review.

Lets you carry your entire library. Storage space claimed is 4GB.7. VoiceView screen reader works well with a Bluetooth speaker.8. Comes with a free extended warranty i.e, a 2 year device protection plan free of any charge. (For customers who pre- ordered it).9. Word Wise and Vocabulary Builder are very good features.10. Undisturbed reading, unlike tablets and smartphones.11. Cloud storage possible.Cons:1. Page turning or clicking may seem odd at first as the page refreshes everytime and the type of ink used.2. Isn’t waterproof or water resistant.3. Free storage space I got was only 2.37GB which is much less than the claimed 4GB.Overall, it’s a good buy for anyone who loves to read. Occasional readers may find it a waste of money.

Pros:- The screen is far better than the previous one that I owned(6th gen basic kindle).- The screen contrast is very good. Fonts are more legible compared to the previous generation basic kindle- The display is updated to E-Carta. This is good in terms of technology.- The backlight is definitely a USP of this product. The light spread out evenly across the display panel. Even keeping backlight to 1 point is enough for most people for comfortable reading.Cons:- Unlike in the US version, there is no Bluetooth support. Hence users may not be able to use audiobooks from audible. But this only a matter of software update that Amazon can enable the BT interface. Not sure when this might happen.- They gave Rs.200 give e-book voucher on pre-order. They could have given 3 months kindle unlimited like in the US.- I am skeptical about battery life. Need to use the device for a few more days to determine actual battery life.- The difference of color of charging indicator LED is hard to tell when the device is charging or completely charged.Price is fair in my opinion as kindle without special offers(with ads) is sold at $109 in the US which translates to INR7700/-. Expecting this for less price does not make any sense unless this is manufactured in India.

I was skeptic about buying a kindle thinking how much I would miss the paperback thing. I tried reading ebooks on laptop and also on mobile even in the kindle app, nothing worked anywhere near the paperback experience.Allured by the pre-order offers, bought this one and I am loving it (it’s only the fourth day I am using it though, still I’m loving it). A great thing is that I can change the font and spacing, something that I couldn’t do in the paperback.This is my first kindle so can’t really compare with other versions. But if you are a paperback fan and thinking whether a kindle is worth it, I would say you must give this one a try and you will definitely love it.EDIT: It’s almost 1.5 months with the Kindle, I read almost everyday and I’m still loving it.The backlight thing has solved many problems that a paperback has: I can sit with my kindle by the dark riverside in the evening, I can switch off my room lights before going to bed and not get up later to switch them off after reading a little, I can read it under a blanket in winter and I can read it in train and flight regardless of whether the ambient lights are on or not.I just hope this device lasts long. If I face any problem with this device later or I stop loving it, I’ll update this review.

I currently own 2 Kindles: 7th Gen Paperwhite and 2nd Gen Oasis (yes, I like to pamper myself while reading).Both fell short for various reasons.The 7th Gen Paperwhite’s screen is not flush and is prone to picking up dust or lint between the bezel and the screen. Its battery life is not as long-lasting as its predecessor (the 6th Gen PW probably has the most outstanding battery life of all Kindles), and I also made the mistake of using it in tandem with the luxurious Oasis.The 2nd Gen Oasis came with many wonderful technological breakthroughs – a gorgeous 7-inch display, the battery stacked to one side which made it easier to hold with one hand, waterproof capability, and the extra storage – but it disappointed me at one key aspect: the ability to hold it for a long period of time. You see, the 2nd Gen Oasis was the first model to sport a metallic finish on the back. The reasoning behind this might have been to lend it a premium finish, but it is also had the unintended consequence of being very slippery, especially if your palms tend to sweat a lot. Add to this the fact that the edges were sharp and liable to dig into your skin. I have been using the Oasis regularly since launch day and the device still doesn’t feel like ‘mine’. I keep adjusting my hold and grip while reading after every few minutes – this is not something you expect to do after nearly a year of heavy use.Hence, despite the fact that I already use 2 Kindles, the 10th Gen Paperwhite instantly caught my eye. Thankfully, purchasing it has turned out to be an addition of utility rather than overkill. With the new model, Amazon has realized the pinnacle of its vision for Kindle design and technology.– The flush screen, just like the one on Oasis 2, is aesthetically pleasing to read.– The new version is the lightest Paperwhite ever, which makes holding it for long periods even less of a chore. Gone are the days of switching hands or grips at regular intervals.– The rounded edges don’t dig into my hand and let me focus completely on my reading.– I am not one for using my Kindles near pools or while enjoying a bath, so waterproof capability comes in useful only if I ever happen to spill some sort of liquid on it.Overall, if you are looking to upgrade to the 10th Gen Paperwhite for the features, then it might not present a whole lot of exciting new boxes to consider. But, from a design standpoint, the latest version truly excels at stripping away the noise even further, and transporting you into your own private bookish world.Update (23/11/18): So I contacted Amazon Support regarding the update problem. The device was failing to update (via WiFi and USB) to the v5.10.1.2, which happens to be the latest version.The response from Amazon Support: “I’d like to inform you that this is a known issue and a master ticket has already has been raised and the issue has been escalated and we are waiting for the update.”They also assured that the problem was just a software problem, NOT a hardware problem. So I’m going to just sit tight and wait for the software patch to arrive. No big deal.Update (30/11/18): Update to v5.10.1.3 successful. No more pending issues with the device.

Mind blowing purchase. This is my second kindle. I already own basic kindle but thats difficult to read at night. But this kindle paperwhite 10th gen has inbuilt light which makes my night reading experience fantastic. I love the design and its sleek which is easy to hold for a long time.I like the resolution , clarity and battery backup.(The only option i could not find is DISABLE TOUCH.)It has the features of kindle voyage and oasis. That is FLUSH SCREEN, WATER PROOF and like Oasis we can invert the background (black background with white letters). We can connect bluetooth and hear the audios of our favourite books.Over all its a boon to avid readers..EDIT : Review of Kindle 10th gen after 2 months of usage : Everything is fine as i described before.DISABLE TOUCH option is enabled after further updation.Also battery percentage is displayed at the top of the kindle. I’m enjoying my fav books with my fav kindle..

I bought this and another 3rd party leather case for 1k for my All-New Kindle Paperwhite. Though there are many other cheaper cases out there, there’s literally nothing like this or even closer to this.Pros:- The case gives a premium feel, has an excellent finish and is smooth and sexy- It gives a great grip while reading- Water doesn’t really affect it too since this is water safe- Protects the screen of the Kindle (instead of buying a screen guard like a lot of people, go for this since most guards will not retain your natural reading experience – the reflections sorta increase and the whole Kindle feeling goes away)- The colour is damn attractive and classyCons:- Price: higher than many other third party cheap covers out there- Putting this or any screen guard on will slightly increase the weight of the Kindle (doesn’t really trouble me, but can be a concern for extended reading times)But my personal equation here: Safety of the Device > Little additional weight- This review is after using the cover for a couple of weeks now, so cannot comment on wear and tear yet.Final Verdict:If you want to protect your Kindle, go for this premium cover as compared to any other cheaper cover out there in the market.

The reading experience with this device is unmatched. If you are an avid reader, then this should be in your backpack. I heard some people tell that when they try to flip the page to the left side with a touch, it actually goes forward instead. Even I face this problem. Looks like a software bug. If you need to flip your page backwards, you may swipe on the left side instead of a touch. This way the pages flip backwards.

Very very average product. I bought after reading in the website that the new kindle 10th generation supports the audible feature wherein if one is an audible subscriber one can seamlessly use the kindle to even listen to audio books. Was extremely disappointed when I got the delivery yesterday as after speaking to customer service they informed that the feature is not yet available in India although audible has been launched in India more than a year ago!! Also the response seemed slow and no point absolutely in going for a 3G option and paying almost 8k more as the 3G connectivity is extremely appalling in the 24 hours that I have used the new oasis.

1) No color screen in the 21st century2) Very slow response.3) Baaad UI.4) Very poor to read comics5) The on screen menu is a pain to bring up6) Prioritizes selling books over reading books in your library

Upgraded from my old Paperwhite (7th gen). This Kindle (Oasis 10th gen with 32 GB, graphite) has a lot of good features.Pros:1. I got this Kindle because I needed more space for my books, and on that front, it’s a great upgrade for me. You can read pdf files a little better on this than you can on a Paperwhite.2. One of the things I love about this device is the design. The screen is flat from edge to edge, without the elevated black margins like in the Paperwhite. The screen is better to touch too. The thicker side makes it good to hold.3. The page flip buttons make it more user friendly.4. The screen rotation feature is great. That means you can hold it (the thick side) with either hand and the screen will rotate automatically.5. Warmth adjustment. Good.6. The metallic look of the back. Good.Cons:1. The price tag. Definitely could be lower.2. The battery. I experienced a little bit of drain the first day, but after resetting the device, it got better (this is a follow up to my earlier review). However, be warned that using features like auto brightness and staying connected (WiFi or the internet) constantly will lead the battery to discharge quickly.I’m glad I bought this.
