It's all due to the speed of rumors. Did you miss the part about it downloading books straight to your mind
.
So AFAIK, this started with Beezos tweet. Then somewhere in there the Wall Street Journal chimed in with the idea of a case with a battery and a solar case. (BTW, my opinion is the WSJ's tech track record is weak). Then in either the original WSJ article or in a follow up came word that the solar case was still in the labs and was some time from seeing the light of day. So solar got wrapped up in the rumor mill and wish lists.
The next substantive step was the leak of the Oasis pix and specs from the Chinese web site and Amazon Canada. On these 'official' pages there has been no further mention of solar.
It's still possible, but my guess is that its not coming. It's either a future thing (months or years) or its not a thing at all -- just a rumor.
