Was hoping that amazon would introduce either a new form factor or the different colored front light for reading at night like Kobo has. Maybe next year.

Agreed. I have both Oases and a Voyage. The 7" is bigger than I like; I upgraded for the waterproof case so I could read in the tub again. I'd have happily gone back to a 6" if it had had a comfortlight, though I'd miss the page turn buttons (a little).
Why is Amazon bragging about warm light on Fires and the advantage of warm white light at night (all PC/mobile operating systems include it, too!) but not including it on Kindles? That's a very baffling omission, so they'd better have something to offer us soon. I know some people don't want it, and because of that, it will probably be configurable to be anywhere between a very noticeable reddish color and the cold white we've got now that is exactly what we shouldn't look at at night. However, it's something I've wanted for a while -- my reading preferences are more of a creamy off-white instead of the blueish-seeming pure white we have now.
All I can figure is that the Oasis 3 will include it. But when are we going to get said Oasis 3? And I'm hoping we'll get a 6" option again, but I'm fully expecting disappointment there. I'll deal with another Kindle that is now too big for my pockets if I can finally have the color temp I want in the display.
