The "offers" are not obtrusive like smartphone ads and only show on the wake screen. Opinions on this are mixed of course - some people are irritated you have to pay more to remove ads, while others find the ads unobtrusive and actually even find some good reading recommendations from the ads. You can always remove them later by paying $20. So I recommend buying a model with ads and decide later if want to remove them.

Resolution is the same on both models (300-ppi), but the Oasis has a bigger 7-inch screen, while the Paperwhite has a 6-inch display. More notably, the Oasis allows you to adjust lighting levels and ultimately filter out blue light at night, which is what Oasis buyers seem to like the most about it. Also, the Oasis uses 25 LEDs, compared to just 5 LEDs on the Paperwhite, so the Oasis offers more lighting levels and better uniformity around the screen.

Do these differences justify the Oasis being twice the price of the Paperwhite? Most would say, "No", but if you splurge on the Oasis, you likely won't regret your purchase. As someone once said, "quality is remembered long after price is forgotten."

Specs aside, the Oasis has a different form factor and ergonomics which some people prefer and other don't. So think about how you like to hold your tablets. With the Oasis, you hold it on the side and that's where the page-turning buttons are. I personally like this, but if you're someone that switches hands a lot, then you'll have to flip the Oasis often. Also, the Oasis has virtually no bottom or top bezel, so if you read in bed and prop it up on a pillow or comforter, the bottom of the page could disappear into the pillow. Or if while reading in bed you like to put your hand on top of the Oasis to steady it, you could accidentally open the settings.

Some things to consider. Hope this helps!

Naturally I just bought this for $75 more three days ago. Instead of adjusting the price, Amazon is telling me just order a new one and send back the other one. They'd rather pay shipping both ways.

Got this on Prime Day, with the immediate trade in credit. Love it but made the mistake of paying extra for more storage. The added storage isn't needed for reading, just for audiobooks. I listen to audiobooks on my phone or tablets, so the extra storage was a waste of money,

I mistakenly thought I could listen to the Audiobooks while turning the pages on the Oasis. You can't.

this is so true, but after a while it becomes less of problem....I love my oasis and at this price i says its worth the bump over the paperwhite.

I traded in an older paper white for $25 credit and 20% off. I also used my Amazon Card for another 5% back. And finally, I use Kindle Unlimited so the three free months nets another $30 bucks in the pocket. This makes my net cost under $80 for this.

Pretty damned slick if I do say so myself. Thanks OP!

Anyone getting more than the 8gb version? Does it make sense for the extra price?
I read that the higher storage is really meant to include audible files.

So true. Some Costco warehouses do this as well. If they think you're exploiting their generous return policy in an egregious fashion, they will revoke your membership.

Not worth it for something that can download offline stuff, especially as light as books.

I just share my LTE from the phone. If it needed to be connected all the time, answer would be different.

I'm always so tempted to get one of these when they go on sale but my Paperwhite still does everything I need it to do so well.

how much of a difference is this from the paperwhite for just reading ebooks?
Wondering if the price difference is justified since I'll only be using it to read.
Also, how much do the ads matter?
I have tried both and I absolutely love the oasis. For me having the 2 physical buttons to flip pages is a big plus. The bigger screen is also nice. So for me the price premium is well justified.
