Disapointed and Still Searching
582910
I read this book hoping to find a real biography and to learn about the famous Marie Boozer, but I was disappointed.  Nice try, but the author didn't know much about her at all and just supposes or uses novels for many of his references.  Too many unknowns for my taste.

It doesn't allow for easy searching. You have to go to a list of the books of the Bible and then flip through to get where you want. Guess which book ISN'T listed? Psalms. So you have to pick the book before (Job) or after (Proverbs) and go backward. However, since Psalms has over 130+ books with multiple versus, it is challenging to get where you want to go.

Since I had planned to use this in church, this inability to locate things quickly makes this a poor choice for me. The good thing is that the KJV does bracket the added in words which is important versus other versions I've seen where everything is all in the same typeface. Oh well, I'll keep looking for one that does everything.

I was expecting this to be easier to program.  but its not and finding a book like they used to have without paying an arm and leg is rediculious.  They do have a website now that has codes for your area, but it appears that most places have gone digital and cannot be picked up.  I hear some stuff but not what I was looking for.  I live in an area with a lot of sirens and was hoping to be able to discern if I should be concerned about any of them

I am only a few pages in and ready to give up.  I feel like there is an entire book that I missed.  It reads like book one explained the gods and what not and I missed it.  I read that this is the launch of the series so it must be book one.  There are just to many questions after only 5 pages.  I feel like I started in the middle and have to quess what is going on now.
I don't know that I will make it much further.  I am on Amazon now trying to figure it out and figured that I would rate it while I was here.
If it's not free, I suggest you pass this one up.

I was looking for a manual that gave step by step basics for using iPhone5.  Everything here was far too advanced for a new user--in my opinion.  I ended up going back to the AT&T store and had a tech walk me through the process, making notes all the way.

This is my first e-reader and the experience is lackluster.  Guess I just prefer books.  The device is heavier than anticipated. My hands, arms and shoulders get tired and actually ache after holding this up to read in bed at night.  I have MS though so that probably plays into that as well.  It is also not as large as I would have preferred.  It is difficult to grasp the edges like you would a regular book.  When I try to get a good hold of this thing to read with one hand, it sets off some touch-pad feature on the screen.  Next thing I know, I'm put back or forward a few pages and have to navigate to original place.  It is not very responsive when you try to down-swipe at the top to get to the home screen.  It's also really frustrating when you want to go back to re-read a section.  In a regular book, you just estimate where that section is and open the book to that particular area.  With the e-reader you have to click page by page or click to the chapter headings.

Update as of May 27, 2018.  My Oasis died today.  The charging port is loose and useless now.  It's just 3 weeks past the one year mark so probably out of warranty.  Like others have mentioned, I also had problems with the cover not accepting a charge and the Oasis not recognizing the cover was attached.  In the last few months there has been an annoying delay in page turns and the entire unit has been freezing up.  This is really a terrible product. It's my first Kindle experience and I'm not impressed.  I was experimenting with e-reading and honestly, I'm going back to old-fashioned books.

On the positive side it is really easy to download directly to the device from the Kindle store and the books are much more affordable.  Paperbacks are no longer collecting dust in my office waiting to be given away after reading.  I like the fact that the device has an internal bookmark. I just have to open the cover and voila...start reading where I left off the night before.  Page turn buttons are a wonderful feature..especially for those of us with certain disabilities.  It's more difficult to use touch screens and do the screen swipes with MS..at least it is for me because of the tremors. Along those lines, another nice feature is the ability to choose from various fonts and to enlarge the fonts.  You can also alter the backlighting from gray to regular off-white bright.  The attachable magnetic charging cover works extremely well and is a terrific design idea.

All-in-all this is a solid product.  There are undoubtedly things I still need to learn about it and will update my review accordingly.  For my specific needs it would have been great to have two more robust handholds..one on each side.  A larger e-reader would be wonderful too.  Maybe the page-turn buttons could be put underneath the handholds where fingertips would naturally be placed.  It's not a big deal to push the button each time to turn a page but there might be an improvement in there somewhere.  For the price, it's surprising that audio was omitted from the Oasis because that would have been a good feature to have included with a premium product.

Not as easy to follow as I anticipated.  The reference section is good, but since it's alphabetical it's difficult to find what you're searching for in a hurry.  (Example: you might expect to find Mom and Dad next to eachother, but in this case required 0a few more page turns.) We found slightly better books elsewhere online.

I am disappointed that it does not offer the same types of features and functionality is Pandora and Spotify. Also develop Millatti and choices within the music library seem somewhat limited. For example looking up Michael Jackson songs one would think you'd be able to find almost everything at best I could find Christmas music.

As some others have reported - it is too hard and slow to find  passages.  Bad index.  Poor material organization for an eletronic reader.  It also appears that the publishers have opted to put most of the refrrence material ahead of the Bible text further slowing searches.

Do not like it at all. Hate the searching format. Did not recognize town I entered. Uses three states to search for address and did not come up with the city & state for the address I wanted. Spent way too much time entering & re-entering address, city, state, to finally get some results.  Had to detour, gps did not reroute my destination & kept telling be to turn around. I want my older, more reliable model back.  (which they discontinued)

I pre-ordered The Search part 3.  Now one month after its release I'm stilling see the wrong book.  Ridiculous how long it is taking to fix this.

Last night I spent $100 to order Windows 7, and I resent that I had to do it. Did anyone do market research on Windows 8 before they forced it on everyone who has to buy a new laptop? I really do not have time to try to work through the failures of this OS. This system is not user friendly and very difficult to navigate. If I move my cursor the wrong way on the screen, what I'm working on disappears. The computer takes me places and doesn't tell me how to get back. I even had to go to google just to figure out how to turn my laptop off.

When I get on my laptop, I need to be getting work done--not trying to guess what my computer is up to.

I find it hard to believe that Windows 8 was market tested at all. Surely, if they had done market research, people would have told them, "I HATE THIS," and they would have known not to unleash this misery on the consumers.

I would advise anyone who needs a new laptop to mentally add $100 to the price of their new laptop to cover the price of sending for the Windows 7 program.

Dry and not user friendly.  Seemed like i spent a lot of time thumbing back and forth trying to find the geographic location of the rocks i was looking for.  Also, not complete as far as what can be found in Mt.

I did not find the things I needed to learn like Cut and Paste (Maybe this is not one of the things Kindle Fire can do ) but also it did not give information on where you could find additional information if need be. I realize I can call but since I am 85 years old I hate to call  I sometimes have trouble understanding and I am sure it is frustrating to the people on the other end. Now maybe I did not spend enough time checking it out  (my attention span is not the best) and I will continue to read again and again but at this point I am very frustrated.

So far not impressed with ease of use.  No instructions.  I cant figure out how to delete, and I just have to keep stumbling around to figure it out.  I am usually pretty savvy with this stuff. Plus the keyboard is too small and it is too easy to push the wrong key.  No  access when charging at my desk.  Haven't actually tried to use in the car yet, just trying to set up a few address in the home.  Much harder than I was expecting, cant imagine using it in a moving car. Day two,  Still completely frustrated.  Cant figure out how to make it understand that I am in California and not Chicago. OK, found garminexpress on line and from there things went smoother.  I have to use a stylus with the 5" screen, my fingers are too fat!  Live the maps and street views.

Okay so I am not a tech savvy person but this thing just seems a huge let down.  I got one to replace my first gen iPad which was pretty much obsolete.  I still use my obsolete iPad because it is so much easier than this tablet.  Even after downloading a better browser I still have issues with some sites and a lack of compatible applications.  I really disliked this tablet deciding it was only good for Amazon shopping, reading kindle books, and playing candy crush.  Tonight it wouldn't even do those things which pretty much sealed my decision to send it back no matter how disappointed my husband would be (he bought it for me for Christmas).  Sorry Amazon.
