My Kindle OASIS

Few days after having a "dead" Voyage, I was surfing Amazon again last few days and was surprised to see they in-fact have another new Kindle. I knew I must have missed out so so much.

They called it the Kindle Oasis.

Kindle Oasis is the next IN thing for Amazon, LIGHTER, THINNER, longer BATTERY life, more white LEDs. Oasis even has a gyrometer that will "rotate the screen following the way you hold the Kindle, automatically".

Amazon's price starts from USD289.99, kind of steep and probably not anyone will consider this.

Comparing pictures of Oasis and my Voyage, Oasis is a super duper sexy and tempting.

Verdict? Definitely is "BUY".

I finally click on the "Buy" for my next Kindle,  Kindle Oasis.

The next thing to do is only "Wait", wait for the package to send from Amazon to my "US Address", then from US to Singapore.

Shall try to post more pictures once I get my hand on my very own Oasis, till then, enjoy pictures I "borrowed" from Amazon.

My "dead" Kindle Voyage

One fine day after a long period of not using my Kindle Voyage 3G, I decided to pick up my Voyage and thought of making some reading. Battery was totally flat.


Put it to charge over night as have not been doing any good readings for months. Next morning, I tried to power up the Voyage and it just stay on the Main Page. I was SHOCK......

I tried many times restarting, charge it for 2 days, pressed hold 20s to "reboot" the Voyage and seems helpless.

One night, I make a online chat with Amazon Helpdesk about my case. Well the lady was very helpful to give me tips on what to try out to see if workable. But all the stuff she mentioned, I tried but no help. In the end, as my 1 year warranty was just 2 months over, she mentioned as warranty period is over, they cannot make a FOC replacement. However, she can help to request a USD20 discount on the model if I make a repeat request since just over the warranty period. Very kind of her but I felt the USD20 was just too low as I need to spend another couple of hundreds......

I decided not to buy.

After months of not making any serious readings, late night movies. I tried charging my Voyage to give it a last try, it didn't work as hope. I proclaimed my Voyage "DEAD".

Rest in Peace.....
