If nightly reading is a part of your routine and minor imperfections don’t bother you, consider checking out the refurbished 2019 Kindle Oasis. Currently priced at $129.99 on Woot, this enticing offer is valid for 30 days or until supplies last, presenting considerable savings on the 32GB version. For comparison, the refurbished 8GB model is available for $119.99 on Amazon, while new models typically exceed $250.

It’s essential to note that this unit comes with some minor cosmetic imperfections, exhibiting light scuffs and small dings. However, it has been thoroughly tested and certified for functionality. On top of that, Woot includes a 90-day Amazon warranty for added peace of mind. This particular version will feature advertisements, visible mainly on the lock screen, but they won’t interrupt your reading experience. Shipping costs $6 unless you have a Prime membership, in which case delivery is complimentary, limited to locations within the contiguous United States.

In terms of performance, the Kindle Oasis delivers reliably. The device features a 7-inch display with a 300ppi resolution, providing sharp and clear text illuminated by 25 evenly distributed LEDs. It’s equipped with a warm light feature that adjusts the screen’s hue, enhancing comfort during late-night reads. Unlike the economical Kindle variants, this Oasis model includes physical buttons for page turning, offering a convenient experience when reading one-handed. Additionally, it boasts an IPX8 waterproof rating, allowing it to withstand occasional splashes or immersion in water without fear. While the display quality is exceptional—deemed “the most luxurious Kindle” by PCMag—it should be noted that this model does not feature USB-C compatibility and is still reliant on micro-USB for charging. This limitation may be important for users who have transitioned fully to USB-C. Furthermore, wireless charging is absent, which might also be a consideration for some users.
