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.
That's interesting but also quite disappointing. If they bring out a 7inch waterproof Audible enabled Oasis the cost will easily be the same as now (possibly more), that's far too expensive and even if I bought one I wouldn't take it on holdiday to use in the pool or on the beach. I take my oldest, least valuable, ereader on holiday in case of accidents.
