Kindle Oasis 10th Generation Now Costs $130
If you read every night before bed and don’t mind a few scuff marks, you might want to consider this refurbished 2019 Kindle Oasis offering . It’s going for $129.99 on Woot (for the next 30 days or until it sells out), which is a bargain for the 32GB model, especially considering that the refurbished 8GB model sells for $119.99 on Amazon (and brand new ones typically cost over $250). A word of warning: Since this is a scratch and dent device, it will not look fresh out of the box (expect light scuffs and small dents). However, it has been tested and certified to work properly, and just in case, Woot backs it with a 90-day Amazon warranty . Additionally, this version is ad-supported, meaning you’ll see advertising content on your lock screen, but it won’t interfere with your reading experience. Shipping is free if you have Prime, otherwise it costs $6 and only ships to the lower 48 states.
Functionally, what you get is still solid. The 7-inch 300ppi display is clear and sharp, front-lit with 25 LEDs. It has an adjustable warm light setting, making it easier to read at night. Unlike cheaper Kindles, the Oasis still has physical page turn buttons on the side, making it easy to turn pages when you hold it with one hand. This model is also IPX8 waterproof , so you can dip it in the bath or spill coffee on it without panicking. For what it’s worth, the screen is sharp and evenly lit —PCMag called it “the most luxurious Kindle yet ,” and they weren’t wrong—but this model doesn’t support USB-C, so you’re stuck with micro-USB. This can be a deal breaker if you’ve completely ditched the old cables in your home. And it doesn’t have wireless charging if that’s a priority.
