There's no need to put down your novel when you relax in the bath, as the new Oasis is first Kindle to be waterproof and will be protected if you accidently drop it in the water. It has a large 7-inch 300ppi display to fit over 30% more words per page at default font size, so you have fewer page turns and reads like printed paper - even in bright sunlight. Waterproof design The Oasis has a IPX8 rating, which means it's protected against immersion in up to 2 metres of fresh water for up to 60 minutes. It can also withstand splashes when you're on the beach or by the pool. Listen to the stories Use Audible on your Oasis to get access to over 200,000 audiobooks, perfect for when you want to rest your eyes but don't want to storytelling to stop. You can enjoy A-list celebrities narrate your favourite titles, as well as listen with relish to full-cast ensemble performances. Pair your device with Bluetooth headphones or speakers to allow you to freely move about your house as you switch from reading to listening. Or connect the Oasis to your car speakers using Bluetooth to let the whole family enjoy the unfolding tale on your next car journey. One-hand reading The Oasis is designed with a slightly thicker base to shift the centre of gravity down the device to let it comfortably rest in your palm, making it even easier to turn the page with a touch of the display or a press of the dedicated page-turn buttons on the side. Plus, it'll automatically rotate for left- or right-handed reading. Light it up There are 12 LED lights, along with an adaptive light sensor on the Oasis that'll automatically adjust to suit your surroundings - providing an optimum reading experience wherever you are. This way you can comfortably read in a dimly-lit room as well as outside in bright sunlight.

If your Kindle is immersed in water, please remove its cover, make sure no cables are plugged into the device and do not attempt to charge your Kindle until it is completely dry. If your Kindle is immersed in salt water, chlorinated water, soapy water or liquids other than fresh water, make sure you rinse that liquid out of the device with fresh water such as cold tap water, then dry your Kindle. What steps should I take to dry my Kindle? To dry your Kindle, please let the water drain out through the micro-USB port, gently tapping the side of the device as necessary. Amazon recommends you also let your Kindle dry fully in a well-ventilated location, with it standing upright so that any excess water can continue to drain from the micro-USB port. Do not attempt to dry your Kindle with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hairdryer. Do not insert a foreign object, such as a cotton bud or paper towel, into the micro-USB port to dry it. 3 Thought about Added Care?
