With the forthcoming Kobo Forma on its way, surely Amazon must do something in response.

I think the current Kindle Oasis 7” can hold its own against the Forma.

However, the Paperwhite seems ripe for a refresh. Here is my wish list of features to add:

8GB storage
Flush screen like Voyage and Oasis
Bluetooth audio
Same CPU/GPU as Oasis (faster, supports Invert Black and White)
Supports external keyboard or simple page turn device (via Bluetooth), keyboard shortcuts for navigation, X-ray, Search, Notebook etc. (Note that this could also create a market for covers with page turn buttons built in)
Restore TTS, support multiple languages for that and for VoiceView
Support Immersion reading
Reduce blue light adjustment for evening reading
Waterproof
A little smaller/lighter (no larger than Voyage)
