You don't have to think about lighting: With e-books, you can read in bed and not have to worry about getting the right lighting that preserves your ambiance and is still bright enough to not hurt your eyes.

Amazon also owns Audible, which is for audiobooks, and assuming that the title is WhisperSync for Voice-ready, it will even sync your place between the Kindle book and the Audible audiobook.

There's no more need for bookmarks: Amazon's Kindle books sync to your account, so no matter if you're picking up your Kindle device, the Kindle app on your iPad, the web reader online, or the Kindle app on your phone, or anything else, it picks up where you left off.

They don't take up space: I don't have to carry an extra item in my bag, nor do I have to keep books on a shelf.

There are lots of benefits to digital books, and I want to outline that before talking about the Kindle Oasis. Without those buttons and having to touch the screen to turn pages, it was nearly impossible to use the device one-handed.

I found this to be a real pain point for the Paperwhite. Remember, that old Kindle didn't even have a touchscreen (or a frontlight), so buttons were necessary to turn the page. Unlike the first and only other Kindle that I had ever purchased - which was the Kindle 4 that was released in 2011 - the Paperwhite didn't have physical buttons on the sides to turn pages. I absolutely hated the Kindle Paperwhite.

It was one step up from the base model, but I didn't think I needed the bells and whistles of the Kindle Voyage, which was the top-tier product at the time. When I first decided to get a Kindle, I decided to get a Paperwhite.

But very few of these book lovers have tried an e-reader, or more specifically, one of the Kindles that are popular on Amazon. Beyond that, some people have tried tablets. A lot of the people I talk to that still prefer physical books haven't gone beyond the small screen on their phones to try digital books.
