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.

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.

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?
