The Amazon app has a banner concerning ‘the all-new Kindle Oasis’. It does not link to anything so no details. Presumably it is waterproof, given the context of the photo. On Kboards there was a cryptic post that said it was waterproof, 7” screen, and supports Audible. Could be...

I also saw the banner once using web browser, but it just went to the Oasis listing (same as before). And now it isn’t showing.

If it supports Audible it is gonna need a lot more storage (8GB at least), or else it could stream over wifi (something I wish the regular Audible apps - and not just the Windows app - would do). And one wonders if it would have TTS (not just Voice View).

Guess we’ll all know soon.
