A quick look on eBay shows them for $170 with free shipping to the U.S brand new. I'm guessing that's one with ads based on the price. I don't even think I'd pay $180 to pay a reshipper service to buy one for me straight from Amazon Japan with taxes and everything.

Anyways my point was that storage is cheap, so why didn't they put more on the Oasis.
WOW! I'm having a hard time just wrapping my brain around a 32 GB on device storage! It might be useful for people doing academic or technical research, I guess, but for recreational reading, I'm not even close to filling up my 4GB Paperwhite!
