Amazon breaks for its new e-reader Kindle Oasis with familiar traditions and missed the device not only an unusual housing, but also makes it significantly lighter and slimmer than its predecessor. The reduction to only 130 grams and about 3 millimeters at the thinnest point is achieved by outsourcing a large part of the battery in the supplied envelope.

According to Amazon, the actual reader remains only a battery with approximately 250 mAh. That is still rich reading for 2 weeks, Amazon defines a Day Running time but with 30 minutes of reading in low light conditions and deactivated wireless connection. Accordingly, the Oasis would only come to around 7 hours of reading time at a stretch without shell.
Long runtimes with Battery Case
That would be compared with the previous Kindle -Readern a significant setback. Amazon thus lays the Oasis in an envelope, in which a second and much larger battery is just under 1300 mAh. With it the device lasts 8 weeks after Amazon counting and thus longer than its predecessor. Improved sleep mode is also intended to save more energy.
