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)
I hope they notice the larger battery in the Kobo Forma, and do the same on the next Oasis. Also make it easy to change the battery, if the old one dies.
