Is the $119 8GB version sufficient? 32GB price increases to $149

Unless you’re storing lots of audiobooks 8GB is more than enough.

If you read books with a tons of artwork then 8GB is not sufficient. My kids have gotten hooked on Japanese light novels and they are often 30mb each. The longer series are 20 books or longer, adds up quickly.

For audio books a smartphone is often more convenient.

Well, I got screwed on this purchase. Instead of the 10th gen, 36GB model I paid for they sent me a 9th gen 6GB model. 1/6 the storage capacity I paid for and a generation older. I’ve contacted customer support but haven’t heard back from them yet.

Check the specs carefully if it arrives. They sent me a 9th gen with 6 GB when I paid for a 10th gen with 32GB!

Hi there. I’m sorry for the issue. Out of curiosity, what does the label on the outside of the box say?

I just got mine and… Same thing! Not only is it not the 10th Gen, 32gb Oasis… I got a 2019 6gb standard Kindle! There are two different stickers on the outside of the box… One showing the model I ordered and paid for and the other one shows the model I got. Clearly there is some kind of mix up at rhe warehouse… This 6gb model of a standard Kindle is definitely not worth $150! I’m super disappointed, as I have been wanting an Oasis for a couple of years, and I’m sure it’s sold out now so they won’t be able to do an “exchange”. :cry::rage:

In my case, the box has two different stickers… One is labeled with Kindle oasis, and the other has what is actually in the box.

The same thing happened to me. I order the 10th generation 32gb Oasis and they sent me a 2018 used paper white. I am in the process of returning it. They could not replace it, the Oasis was sold out.

Hi! I got one last Saturday and my order says “Shipping Soon” with an estimated delivery date of 2/24/24 but I haven’t even received a shipping confirmation. Has anyone else run into this issue? It’s my first time buying from Woot and it’s making me nervous.

I’m had the same issue. Placed an order 1/17 for one and it said “preparing for shipment” for a week then I got a notification that my order was cancelled… WTF

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. I have been really wanting the oasis and it’ll be a bummer if they cancel mine. Not a very customer friendly vibe unfortunately.

Same here; it’s said “preparing to ship” for an entire week now. I was already annoyed that they charged me $6 for shipping even though I’m a prime member, and now they don’t seem to be in any hurry to ship what I paid for. Now they’re cancelling people’s orders, and sending them the wrong models? This is ridiculous.

Did you end up receiving yours?

I haven’t received a shipping confirmation unfortunately. I did email customer service and all they said is that they’re experiencing delays and cannot provide an shipping date :slightly_smiling_face:

Same here. Order has continually said “Preparing for shipment”. First email to customer support and I got a reply with them referring to an entirely different product. Additional emails have said they are going to send me a “replacement”. A replacement for what? I haven’t even got anything yet!

Anybody had any luck?

I sent an email to customer service Tuesday, and it was ignored. While making another inquiry just now, I saw that the Oasis is now listed as “Amazon Devices Stinger Wifi 32 GB Gold.” Maybe this is an internal codename for this version of the Oasis? They had more available briefly earlier today, so maybe the name in the old listing was changed to keep it separate from the new one. I don’t know, just guessing here. I wonder how many of us are still waiting?

Be sure to check spam/junk folders. If you use an email client like Outlook, try logging into email directly from a browser because there’s another junk folder there. Note that Woot! Customer Service replies to the email address on your Woot! account not your Amazon email if used/different.

(Please note: I don’t work for Woot, I just volunteer to help out here on the forums.)
