But if you rarely use the network, or just want to be sure that the software on your Kindle is the most up-to-date, you can update the software yourself if necessary. There is nothing complicated about it.

2. On the PC, go to pageFire & Kindle Software Updates, find your device in the list (Kindle Oasis (9th Generation) and go to the Software Updates page.
3. If the firmware version on the site is higher than the one on your device, download the update file from the page by clicking onSoftware Update 5.x.x.x
4. Connect the reader to the computer with a USB cable.
5. Copy the update file that you downloaded to your PC to the root directory of the Kindle drive. Not in one of the folders, but next to them.Make sure the copy process is complete!
6. Disconnect the Kindle Oasis from the computer.
7. Start the update process:Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Kindle upgrade
8. Wait for completion and reboot. This process can take several minutes. Do not turn off the device during the update and do not try to force it to restart by pressing the Power button for a long time!

I understand these BATTERY better not to discharge to zero, that is, the memory effect any significant influence does not render.

welcome

in thought about buying a new Kindel, in this regard a few questions

1) now the price 250 as soon as you think it will fall or will kakayato action? if earlier than Black Friday is willing to wait

2) I understand that this branch of Oasis fans but even so. and whether there are competitors for the 250?

3) With Special Offers - what is it? I believe this kind of subscription advertising. how can it knock it without paying?

4) Cover the battery for the latest version only from Amazon or there are other brands?

1. Strongly do not fall in the near future
3. Promote screen, can be persuaded to support the shut down, but it is as lucky.
4. For the last two generations, in a case there is no battery, all cases it simply covers.

every man determines that a competitive advantage for him: software, screen, lights, battery, housing, etc.

I'd like to share.
I have everything in life had 2 books, first Ukrainian elbruk hedgehog, who has worked so long and so much in my life experienced that the plastic casing broke in half, the battery has been replaced by a battery of the Nokia phone ... he was fine. Autonomy was eternal. When he still rested in the Bose, he was purchased Onyx darwin 1. I spat. Autonomy, he had half a day had to go to the website of onyx, rummaging there in the depths of the forum and hands reflash. That's why I? Any bugs onyx - with flipping buttons izcheznoveniem "last read", etc. described here many times. And when Onyx was covered, I decided to take a new Onyx)) But new reviews onyx are even worse than the old. I took the Oasis.
I experienced the happiness, well, true)) This reader, simply reader. Autonomy week up to 40% from 100% at about 2-3 hours of reading per day, but the charge once a week at night reader generally not a problem, the screen is good, bugs were noticed any 2 months of use. A STK? The beauty of it is simple.
Repaired Darwin, I wanted to give him a child, compared with Darwin Kindle. Well, it does this Darwin.
Sorry to interrupt an exciting discussion of Oasis 2019. This theme when selecting reading in detail, but do not try - do not know. I understand that the comparison with Darwin oasis incorrect because the first more or less the premium, and the other does not, but in 5 years as Darwin I do not care what's nerves are more expensive. Onyx give the crude product, with unpredictable characteristics (blemishes, depressions of buttons - a lottery, as luck), while the Kindle all qualitative and easy.

I would know for sure - not sitting here on the forums.
At Oasis screen is excellent, super light, UI / UX is almost perfect for me. Batteries me with the head missing, but others not enough. And without stk-services already and I can not imagine the convenience. If any other reader have to fill a book through a wire service or collective farm / server, and the gift is not necessary.



Rep: (1)
Look at the new Kobo Libra. This is a full-fledged competitor with all the same features (slightly worse lighting, soft worse), but costs $ 80 less. The design is very interesting. For me vylizannost Kindle firmware covers the price, but for someone else may not.



Rep: (82)
* Ilbrutto It seems to me is not the best advice - a device that has not even appeared in the sale which is not a full-fledged user tests and reviews - only pre-sale samples and all.

Two of the old series, a magnet

What I want to say - clearly more convenient to read at home without a cover altogether for storage use the house that with a magnet. In the holiday took one that the corners protection. In fact, if you choose (of course, expensive they cover these), I would have left the old one, on a magnet
