Going to Paperwhite Signature from Oasis

seanyyz · Today, 06:23 AM

My Oasis is five years old. I find the battery does not last as long as I would like it to. This is quite frustrating as I hate being all ready to read and having the kindle indicate that the battery needs a charge to proceed.

I am considering replacing it with the Paperwhite Signature. Do you think I would get longer battery life that way? The charging stand would make me more likely to charge between uses.

The one thing that is holding me back is that I really like the physical buttons on the Oasis. Will I get used to the change easily?

Have you considered a battery change on the Oasis?

When my Voyage died I didn't want to spend the money on the Oasis so I went with the Paperwhite 4. I could not get used to not having buttons. I eventually decided to get the Oasis. When BN came out with the Glowlight 4 Plus with the flush screen and buttons on both sides, I jumped on it. I like it a lot even though I don't buy books from BN. It is currently my reader of choice.

I love physical buttons (have several Voyages) but have been pleased with the responsiveness of the SE. While I didn't mind charging with a cord, I do like the wireless charging. It's pretty fast - fully charged in 3-4 hours.

A 3 to 4 hours is about x4 slower than some current cabled ereaders. It's actually inductive, not wireless as in radio, inefficient and still needs a psu and cord you might forget to unplug, so an increased fire risk.
