You certainly don't have to justify it; I was simply interested to know what had led you to reach the conclusion you had.

But whatever... Yes, I do think there's a nice little space--price and feature-wise--between Paperwhite and Oasis. That's where the Voyage sits. It's a little better than the Paperwhite. Has a flush screen, page press buttons, a lighter design. And the Oasis is a little better with a metal back, larger display, waterproofing.
Fair points - thanks.

Do you really think there's no space between the $120 Paperwhite and the $250 Oasis? What feature would you add or take away from the Voyage to make that space more logical in your mind?
I see a very clear separation between the PW and the Voyage: flush glass screen, largely metal case, page turn buttons, adaptive light sensor. What I was saying is that I now see very little separation between the Voyage and the Oasis, so I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to see Amazon quietly drop the much cheaper Voyage to maximise revenue in the "premium reader" market from the more expensive Oasis.

Time will tell .
