Lighting
Customers generally have a positive opinion about the lighting of the Kindle Oasis e-reader, with some mentioning consistent lighting across the screen and no visible patterns from LEDs.

Display Quality
Customers generally praise the high-resolution display on the New Kindle Oasis, finding it crisp, sharp, bright, clear, and easy to read in various lighting conditions. However, some users mention concerns about potential display issues that have been reported by others.
