Multiple studies have shown that the blue light emitted from the fluorescent or LED backlights commonly used in consumer electronics can actually increase eye fatigue and may even disrupt sleeping patterns. So why is Amazon releasing a new device with such a minor addition?

The only difference is that the display can now shift its color temperature to a warmer red hue.

The new Oasis, which goes on sale July 24th, is basically the same device as the current Oasis. Starting at US $250, it’s definitely not for everyone. That’s why the company will be selling an improved Kindle Oasis that can adjust the display’s color temperature.Īdmittedly, the Kindle Oasis is a very niche device.

The premium device offers almost every bell and whistle that avid readers could want in a book-focused tablet.

To get the Oasis without lockscreen ads, you'll have to fork over an extra $20 more for that model. This deal includes three months of Kindle Unlimited included, so millions of books are free during this introductory period (you can also buy it without the subscription add-on). It's waterproof, too, so it can handle getting splashed. Audible compatibility (also from Amazon) works with your Bluetooth headphones, so you can switch to audiobooks and give your peepers a rest. The 7-inch Paperwhite display is the latest in paper-mimicking e-ink technology, and now the color temperature is adjustable from cool white to warm yellow tint, for less eye strain in a variety of lighting.
