The leather cover, available in black, merlot (red), or walnut (brown), has an embedded Amazon logo on the front and soft felt on the inside. I found that I preferred to read with the cover connected, as it gives the reader a more substantial feel. The Oasis weighs 4.7 ounces on its own, and 7.36 ounces with the included leather charging cover attached. It also doesn't matter if you're right- or left-handed, as a built-in accelerometer automatically flips the screen based on how you hold it. The bump is where the battery and most of its weight is located, but the Oasis feels perfectly balanced in hand. Instead of a uniform, flat surface, it resembles a wedge that measures 0.13-inch at its thinnest point, and has a raised 0.33-inch on the other end that fits in your palm like the spine of a book. A 3G model (so you can download books wherever you are, without the need for Wi-Fi) increases the price to $359.99 with Special Offers, and $379.99 without. The base Wi-Fi-only model costs $289.99 with Special Offers (which are ads that appear on-screen when you aren't reading), and $309.99 without. There are multiple configurations of the Oasis available. There's no doubt that it's the loveliest Kindle yet, but is it worth the $170 premium over our Editors' Choice, the Kindle Paperwhite? For all but the most well-heeled readers, the answer is no. And the Oasis uses a brighter version of the 1,448-by-1,072-pixel, 300ppi E Ink Carta screen you'll find on the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Voyage. For the price, you get the company's lightest and thinnest reader, a design built around an ergonomic handgrip, and a leather charging cover that packs an additional battery. At $289.99, it's also the most expensive. The Kindle Oasis is the finest ebook reader Amazon offers. See our review of the 2017 Amazon Kindle Oasis.
