Now, I am not a huge money-spending person, but when I do spend, I do it right. I just bought the Kindle Oasis from Amazon. I was first looking at the Kindle Paperwhite, but why would I settle?
I am working so hard to build up my passive income via rents, royalties, and dividends, that I splurge some of that cash and upgrade my equipment. But why did I decide to buy the Kindle Oasis all of a sudden?
For a few reasons, first, I have become an avid reader. I just finished book number 55 in less than a year. You can read all my book takeaways in one convenient article called “54 Takeaways from 54 Books” Reading has become a massive part of my life, and my bank account has grown considerably by exercising my brain from reading.
Retirement Planning in Your 50s
Second, I think people are interested in Kindle products. I had a Kindle before I bought the Oasis. It is somewhere lost in my house. I have been reading on my Galaxy Tab S4 (link to S7+), and I know I will always prefer this. I should be picking up the Tab S7+ very soon, and I love taking notes.
I read a book called “How to Take Smart Notes,” and it changed my life. It has allowed me to create a never-ending stream of content. I don’t envision myself switching from my Galaxy Tab S7+. I do so much research, note-taking, internet browsing, etc., while I read.
How will I use the Kindle Oasis? If I do most of my reading on my Galaxy Tab S7+, what will I use my Kindle Oasis for? I will use it for long reading sessions. Every once in a while, I have some free time, say a couple of hours, but I can’t read on an OLED screen for that long. I can feel my eyes getting tired.
Become Insanely Productive During the Magic Hours
In addition to my marathon reading sessions, I like the portability of the device. I can take it to more places than my Galaxy. I will miss ALL of the features of my Tab, but being able to read in more scenarios is a good thing.
How much did it cost? Yikes, it was expensive. I did buy the accessories as well—a cover and power adapter. In total, it was $333. I will pay for it in installments (0% interest) over five months, because—why not?
The plan moving forward. I have never done a physical product review, so I’ll probably do my five takeaways from my Kindle Oasis. I will give it at least a month of heavy usage. It’s perfect timing because I will be stateside for two months.
Success is a Habit- What is Your Daily Routine?
I also am considering buying the new 24” iMac because I like the slick design. I use the Chromebook 95% of the time, however, when dealing with huge Microsoft Word docs I need more horsepower. When I was creating “The Biggest Book on Passive Income Ever!” the Word doc was over 1300 pages. I destroyed my Chromebook’s CPU.
I will see if I can do my workflow using the Kindle—highlighting, taking notes, brainstorming articles to write, and researching the internet.
What do you think of the Amazon Kindle? Would you prefer the Oasis or the Paperwhite? Let me know. Stay posted on my five takeaways from the Kindle Oasis, coming in a month or so. Enjoy and Happy Investing.
