I've been losing hope on their efforts since they have the market so locked in they can put in minimal effort and cost and still sell, but one can hope. I'd like a Paperwhite/Voyage hybrid, or updated Paperwhite and Voyage replacement, or something entirely new, but considering they are mainly promoting Echos and Alexas this year and released what they consider superior (Oasis 2) last year, I don't think we're going to get anything surprising and innovative.
They have had a lot of chances to bring us Color Temperature screens in the lower priced e-ink models like other companies the past few years, but have not. It's a nice thought they will finally introduce something but they may stay consistent and not bother with it.
Since they are into promoting more of their Audiobooks now and added Bluetooth to Oasis, it's possible they may try to add it to cheaper models. On one hand it makes sense since they own Audible and such so would want more people to use more audiobooks, even with the cheaper readers....but on the other hand they may want to keep it to the more expensive models to sell those since Audiobooks are so popular. I really have no idea what Amazon is thinking with this or will do.
Knowing my luck everything I personally don't care about will be added, and the features I want will still be over there in fantasy land waving at me.
