Last chance to order a Kindle Oasis for delivery in time for Christmas

By Aaron Mamiit Updated December 18, 2020

E-book readers are amazing devices for book lovers, as you can have access to a library’s worth of books in the palm of your hand. If you want an e-book reader for the holidays, or if you want to give one as a gift, you should take a look at Kindle deals, including the 8 GB version of the Kindle Oasis that’s available on Amazon for $270. There’s not much time left if you want to get the device in time for Christmas though, so you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

The Kindle Oasis, Digital Trends’ top overall choice among the best e-book readers for 2020, features a 7-inch, 300 ppi Paperwhite display that uses the latest e-ink technology, so it looks like you’re still reading from the paper pages of a book. You also have the option of adjusting the screen’s shade from white light to warm amber, depending on your preference, though the e-book reader also comes with an adaptive front light that automatically tweaks the screen’s brightness, depending on your environment.

With an IPX8 rating, the Kindle Oasis is safe against splashes of water and rain, and can even be immersed in to up 6.5 feet of fresh water for up to an hour. The e-book reader is also compatible with Audible audiobooks if you have an account — all you need to do is to pair the device with Bluetooth headphones. You can also tap and hold on a word to look for its definition in the dictionary, and you can also select sentences to highlight them and share on social media.

When comparing the Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite, the Kindle Oasis has a bigger screen, faster charging time, and page turn buttons, which makes it a better choice than its smaller counterpart. You can also adjust the text size and boldness of the text that you’re reading on the device, and it can even help you find books to read through the Kindle Store.

There are different Kindle models to choose from, but the Kindle Oasis is arguably the best version of the e-book reader. The 8 GB version of the Kindle Oasis is available on Amazon for $270, and if you want it as a gift for yourself or for a loved one, you can get it in time for Christmas if you click that Buy Now button right away.

Super Bowl Food Deal: Get 20% off your next Grubhub order

Ordering food from Grubhub with a smartphone mobile app.

Amazon has a great offer taking place right now if you take advantage of food delivery services. If this is the case, and if you’re an Amazon Prime Member or would like to sign up to be one, you’ll get an entire year of Grubhub+ for free. This is a pretty amazing offer, as a Grubhub+ subscription would regularly cost $10 per month, making this offer worth a savings of $120. Additionally, Prime Members can save 20% on an order of more than $20 from now until February 14. And yes, you can pair it with today's big event, so if you're planning to watch Super Bowl 2023, this can save you some money on the food for the viewing party.

Why you should get a Grubhub+ subscription
The convenience many of the best food delivery service apps offer has become quite prominent over the last few years, and with more and more people working remotely, and with more and more people finding themselves with less time for details on their hands, subscribing to a service like Grubhub+ is worth considering. Most food delivery services work by charging you a delivery fee on top of the cost of your order, but with a Grubhub+ subscription you’re eliminating delivery fees entirely on orders of more than $12 in favor of the monthly subscription cost. This makes it especially appealing for people who have food delivered more often than others, as using it just two or three times per month would make it worth its monthly fee.

If you like to do your holiday shopping online, it’s important to make your purchases with enough time left before the holidays to account for shipping times. This can be a little tricky, as the closer we get to the holidays, the more people there will be trying to make last-minute purchases, and thus adding to already-lengthening shipping times. Several retailers offer purchase deadlines as late December 23 with Christmas delivery still guaranteed. We’ve rounded up last order dates for several retailers this holiday season, so read onward for more details on when you need to make your holiday purchases by in order to ensure they arrive in time for Christmas.
Amazon

Amazon is typically one of the most accommodating retailers when it comes to shipping, particularly if you’re an Amazon Prime member. While Amazon hasn’t officially released its 2022 holiday shopping deadline calendar, odds are you’ll be able to shop nearly to the last minute with Amazon. In previous years, the retail giant has guaranteed Christmas delivery as late as the morning of Christmas Eve, though shipping could get a little pricier if you weren’t a Prime member, as you needed to pay for next-day or even overnight delivery.
