They have, after all, had some time to review the Forma and other e-ink Android devices that are coming out in competition to the Oasis. It seems like that approximately 8" screen size is a sweet spot.
The 7.8" Kobo Aura ONE had most of that and is two years older than the 8" Forma. So, Amazon have had a lot longer to see the impact of the larger devices. That makes me feel like they don't consider it important. But, it did take them nearly five years to put out a device to compete with Kobo's 6.8" devices, so maybe they are still a couple of years away from the larger devices.
