The latest flagship reader from Amazon, the Oasis 3, has an identical body to the 2017 model. Thus, the metal, asymmetrical 7" design will be three years old in 2020. I feel that Amazon and Kobo have been following each others' leads in terms of the implementation of features, with Kobo following Amazon in the shape of devices, while Amazon tried to keep up with Kobo with lighting colour temperature, and larger screen sizes.

What Amazon could do in 2020/2021:
  • larger screen: I would love this, but I don't think it seems likely.
  • plastic body: this would be great
  • USB-C: feel free to comment on this, but, I don't find it interesting, so I will not repeat discussions that have already taken place elsewhere.

Do you think there will be a new flagship e-reader in 2020/2021? What features do you think it will have; which would you like?
