you might know this about me from earlier videos but I love a good Kindle especially a new one what she needs to say is that she likes spending money on gadgets that clever marketing campaigns have convinced her she needs no I just like buying high quality items that I know I'm going to get a lot of value out of like this new Kindle Oasis it wasn't the Kindle Oasis new in 2016 no this is the new new Kindle Oasis and it's even better for reading books you know it's really good for reading books books Amazon launched this Kindle Oasis last fall and it replaced the previous Kindle Oasis oh yeah I remember now that was the first Kindle Oasis and it wasn't waterproof well surprise this one is finally waterproof it also costs two hundred and forty nine dollars which is fifty dollars less than the original Oasis that's still a lot of money for a Kindle let me guess this is the part where you say the Kindle paperwhite is the best Kindle ever no actually I I've turned a new leaf I'm off of Twitter I'm only checking Facebook once a day and I'm reading real books real books so basically you're trying to go back to living in 2008 sometimes I think that wouldn't be such a terrible thing now this new Kindle Oasis has the brightest highest resolution display of any Kindle and I bet you can barely see the difference no I mean this actually matters when you're in a dark environment and you're just trying to see what's on the page right which is why I have this book lamp we just okay that is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen you do did you carry that here in your knitting bag yeah okay also this is square shaped and it's weighted in such a way that it's really easy to hold in one hand what does it matter that it's square shaped okay try holding that in one hand comfortably for an extended period of time okay that's probably one of the only things the Kindle is good for it has these page turn buttons here who needs buttons to turn okay and like other Kindles it has a touchscreen so you can just navigate through chapters by tapping on it or you can even press on a word to get its definition so if you're lazy or you like skipping entire chapters of books and that's the product for you is what you're saying also its battery life is excellent if you read for about a half hour a day with the screen set to 40% of its maximum brightness you should get about six weeks of battery life out of this you know how long this thing lasts unless there's a fire or a flood or a nuclear event forever to last forever it doesn't need to be charged you just pick it up and you read it speaking of floods this is the first Kindle that's waterproof finally an Amazon made a virtual assistant that infiltrated everybody's homes before it managed to make a waterproof skin yeah so you can bring this in the tub or the pool or even the ocean and not worry that if you drop it in you're going to break it if you drop that book at the tub it's ruined that's not true I mean you'd have to shake it out a bit and let it air dry and it'd probably be pretty wrinkled but it's readable it's totally fine uh-huh and this kindle supports audible so you compare it with bluetooth headphones and have your books read aloud to you sake just get a tablet then look I know people really like their Kindles and they're great for some things but I just prefer actual books I dog-ear pages you know and I love when you can see what someone else is reading and not just a leather-bound gadget that moment when you're on the train and you look across the aisle and your eyes meet across the top of the page you sound like an unhinged Craigslist ad okay we'll look people don't collect Kindles collect books they don't buy Kindle cases they invest in bookcases and when I'm done I can share these books with all of my friends which is more than you can do because of DRM yeah but the same modern technology means that I have access to all the same books that you do but in seconds not days also when I go on vacation my carry-on bag is a lot lighter than yours I don't mind slow shipping I mean with Amazon Prime it's usually more like a couple days and these arrive wait so you're you're ordering all of your books off of Amazon no I mean some of them a lot most of them from we're both just giving all of our money to Amazon did I mention that I only buy used books this one is waterproof it's oh it's I forgot what I was going to say because I improvised should we do that
