Maybe sooner than you think. Amazon have clearly stated they want the e-reader to dissapear in your hand. that's the point of the Oasis design. if they can make the device charge wirelessly, then they could remove the USB port. Less weight, more minimalism. I don't see why they couldn't do this on the next iteration of the Oasis. It might be more expensive to include a dedicated charger, but Oasis buyers have demonstrated that money is no object to them.
