Amazon 'Kindle Oasis' Images, Specifications Leak Ahead of Launch
As seen in a Tmall website product listing page (which now directs users to the main website homepage) via Motherboard website, the Kindle Oasis will measure 3.4mm at its thinnest point and 8.5mm at its thickest and will weigh 131 grams - said to be 20 percent lighter than previous Kindle devices. It will feature a display with pixel density of 300ppi that includes 60 percent additional LEDs to provide more uniform backlighting. It is worth mentioning that the display's pixel density matches that of the Kindle Voyage ebook reader.
Eagle-eyed Reddit users (via The Verge), translate the Tmall listing to note it is being called a 'dual-battery system', with the Kindle's battery and the leather case charging simultaneously when connected to an power source, and case's battery being used before the ebook reader's when unplugged. The Kindle Oasis will also feature a 'Kindle sleep mode' that will help conserve battery life. Unfortunately, no details about water resistance could be gleaned, while the price was also conspicuously absent.
