Amazon's Kindle Oasis Puts Function Over Form

Where many companies are obsessed with making the latest, greatest smartphone, Amazon has found success with other modern devices. Along with the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot line of personal assistants, the former bookseller shines when it comes to giving you a modern way to read those books. The Kindle line started in 2007, but here in 2016, the line of e-readers serves the same function: offering a convenient way to consume your ever-growing book collection. The latest iteration of the e-reader, Amazon's Kindle Oasis, continues to pursue that mission--with longer battery life, a squatter form-factor and a very high price tag. The first thing you'll notice about the Kindle Oasis is its asymmetrical shape.
