A Great Bundle
This is a great bundle that I think was worth the money, if you can afford to open that wallet.*Pros*- The Kindle Oasis itself generally runs smoothly (see cons)- Great battery life (easily over a week without charging)- The 2 buttons are a very welcome feature and make reading with one hand so much easier. The buttons can be configured how you like and the Oasis itself can detect motion, so you'll have no problem turning it upside down of you're left or right-handed.- Gold colour just looks premium- Oasis is great particularly for reading manga and novels, and the warm light feature helps with bedtime reading- The plug included works XD- The leather case fits perfectly as you'd expect and keeps the screen well-covered when closed*Cons*- All Kindle models including this Kindle Oasis only view things in black and white, so this is not a good choice if you're hoping to read comics, graphic novels, cookbooks or anything else with colour!- The Oasis doesn't always run smoothly. It sometimes just suddenly freezes and shows a white screen which I've seen only fixes when you hard restart it by pressing and holding the power button for a bit. The problem fixes after this, but the issue does repeat itself enough for me to mention. It's a minor irritation, but a noticeable one nonetheless, so be prepared for this if you're gonna buy.*Conclusion*All in all a great bundle, although there are cheaper third-party options available for Kindle Oasis cases and USB-C compatible plugs. Regarding what I mentioned about the Oasis only showing black and white, if this is going to be a problem for you, I recommend getting an Amazon Fire Tablet instead. These allow you to enjoy kindle ebooks of all kinds, both those in black and white and those in colour. The Fire 8 models are particularly great for comics and graphic novels, and are easy to use one-handed. However, I do believe that the Kindle Oasis is better if you're just purely reading novels or manga.Hope you enjoyed reading and that my review helped :D

Love it
I love the versatility of a kindle but this one is the best. A bit pricey but worth it. Comfortable to hold. Very quick to fully charge. Light and very clear to read. The case is nice too. Battery lasts quite well but because it charges so quickly I haven’t found this an issue.

A great upgrade
Fantastic upgrade from my keyboard kindle of 13 years . Wanted to continue with the button page turning so Oasis was only option & really pleased with the device. Battery drain’s quickly even with Wi-Fi & Bluetooth off but I suppose that’s the price you pay for having screen back lite which is extremely convenient for night time reading. Lot’s of personalising features to play around with. Expensive compared to the rest of Kindle range but for me worth the extra cost.

Almost Excellent
The Oasis itself is excellent, screen updates are quite crisp and overall is quite responsive. The display is excellent and can't fault it. Would I buy it again, probably not as I think it's not worth the extra cost over the Kindle PaperWhite 2019.Regarding the real leather case it's Ok, fits beautifully and looks Ok. The leather that covers the plastic is wafer thin, far too thin for my liking and spoils its looks somewhat.At £65 though it's silly money and definitely not worth it, you could do a lot better.I find holding awkward at times with the case fitted because the top cover is either hanging down and in the way, or folded flat underneath which covers the nice grip section. Without the case it's very nice to hold and operate.Having said all that I do like and enjoy my Kindle Oasis very much.

The battery is an absolute camel, but it's not perfect
This was a bit of a luxury buy, to be honest, but I wanted to be able to read while lying in the garden during lockdown, and this screen makes that possible.There are so many plus points with this, hence the 5 stars, but there are issues, too:~ The scrolling function is slightly bitty and jumpy - I would have assumed it would be smooth considering the price. So you try to scroll down through your library, but there's no movement, so you scroll again, and suddenly it scrolls 2 times, meaning you miss a whole page of books. It's not a huge issue, but it's annoying enough to be worth mentioning.~ I know this is probably my fault, but I stupidly assumed the images would be in colour. It's weird having books on photography, for example, and they're all in black and white... again, this is probably on me, but given the high price, I assumed colour images were a thing.~ It's slightly confusing to use: the internal menus and sub-menus and sub-sub-menus aren't too well thought out, really... things seem to have been put in sub-menus slightly randomly, so I'm often clicking random menu buttons trying to find what I need.On the plus side, the battery lasts for, literally, weeks. I you don't use it for a couple of weeks, turn it on again and the battery is still pretty much where it was, so its battery doesn't drain when it's switched off. Equally, it's extremely light-weight, and nice to hold, and you can adjust most of the settings so you can personalise it to make reading as comfortable as you want; ie, screen brightness, font, screen kelvin (whether you want it a warmer yellow or paper white, etc), font size, which buttons you use to scroll and select... being able to personalise it so much is great.I suppose, ultimately, I don't think it's worth the price, really, but I love reading so much am completely biased and incapable of giving it less than 5 stars. If I was going to buy another Kindle, I'd probably choose a cheaper one, or wait until it can handle coloured images... heck, even seeing my book covers in black and white is kind of unsatisfactory. But if you have the pennies to spend on a luxury like this, it's a nice one.
