Keyboard
Your Kindle Oasis has an onscreen keyboard. When you tap within the Search field or begin other
actions that require you to type in information, the keyboard automatically displays at the bottom of
the screen. Tap the keys to enter your selection and use the appropriate buttons to continue on to
the next action. As you type, word suggestions based upon your entries display above the keyboard.
Tap the word you want to select.

enter all-cap mode, and tap it once to exit the mode.
• To select a keyboard for a different language, tap the Quick Actions icon on the
toolbar, then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Language & Dictionaries, then
Keyboards.
• To enter diacritics and special characters using the keyboard, press and hold the base
letter’s key. For example, press and hold the "n" to display ǹ, ñ, or ň.
• A Globe key is added to your keyboard when you have selected multiple languages.

Network connectivity
Books, magazines, and other materials are delivered directly to your Kindle via its built-in network
connectivity. Your Kindle can connect to your home Wi-Fi network or to hotspots located around the
world, including libraries, coffee shops, and airports.
You can connect your Kindle to a wireless network manually or via a WPS-compatible router. Please
select the appropriate instructions below.
This device has Wi-Fi simple setup to automatically connect to your home Wi-Fi network. For Wi-Fi
simple setup to happen, you need three things: 1) this Kindle Oasis – 10th Generation (a new Wi-Fi
simple setup enabled device), 2) an existing Amazon device that is already connected to your Wi-Fi
network (such as a second generation or newer Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Dot, or Echo Show device
in your home that is already connected to your Wi-Fi network), and 3) a Wi-Fi password saved to
Amazon. If you do not have these three things, then the device will ask you to connect to a wireless
network.
