For all the things the Kindle does, there are so many more it doesn’t. Amazon continues paring down the Kindle, even as it introduces so many features—Audible audiobooks, the Alexa voice assistant, and, I don’t know, Dash buttons—that might make perfect sense on its e-reader. Amazon all but insists such things are not the point of Kindle. Kindle is for reading. Nothing more. Everything about its performance, its design, its software, reflects that. You want to do other stuff? Buy other stuff. Now, you could argue that some added features would be nice, like waterproofing (there better be no water in your Oasis), but Amazon lives by the mantra less is more. Because less is paper.
