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)
And sell for $99? It looks to me like you hoping for an updated Voyage, not an updated Paperwhite.
