(With the other Kindle models, you 'turn the page' by tapping or swiping the corner of the screen.) That said, it still feels light, and almost like it needs protection, so it's worth getting a cover. It's square-ish in shape, so it's a little bulkier, but that's mainly because of the panel down the side with buttons you press to turn the pages. The Kindle Oasis is the latest offering from Amazon and it's the most advanced. And the battery life lasts for a long time – one full charge and you're good for weeks. I like that I can slip it in my jacket pocket. Once it's measured your 'reading speed' you can tell how many minutes you have left in a chapter, or the whole book (I've been weirdly dependent on this when reading just before bed).
You can adjust the font size and spacing. You can lean it against anything without it closing and losing your page. There are a few random things I like about using a Kindle, and some of them seem small but can make quite the difference. Going on a longish holiday? You've got a whole bookstore at your fingertips – and it's much lighter than a 500-page book you have to lug around Europe (take it from someone who carried the new Anna Wintour biography through Italy). Feel like reading something now? You can buy and download it now. There's a convenience with Kindles you can't get with books. But I've recently crossed over to the Kindle side and have to admit I'm somewhat converted. Like many people who have picked a side in the physical book versus e-reader debate, I am someone who has firmly sided with books.
