Dear all,

New to the forum, so apologies if this thread has appeared elsewhere, or is a potential duplication.

I was hoping you could kindly help with the following: I am looking to replace/update my 2011 Kindle to something with a backlight etc. and am tempted to go for the latest model (?) 2017 Oasis. However, (and for understandable reasons as this is not an exact science) am unfamiliar with the frequency of hardware updates when it comes to Kindle. I know Apple of course, tend to update iPads etc. fairly frequently, and the iPhones yearly. Long story short, I would like to avoid if possible buying something now only for a release to materialise just around the corner. Clearly, its impossible to predict the exact where and when, but if, for example, new releases take place in August then I would be tempted to hold fire for a little while longer.

Many thanks in advance for any advice — greatly appreciated.
