My guess is that Amazon maintains and updates a design for a new Oasis (as improved or cheaper components become available) and is ready to put it into production should they judge there are people ready to buy it, with a feature set that would get people to upgrade.
I doubt they are producing any of the current Oasis model. It would just be too expensive to keep an assembly line up and running. They’ll have a few months of inventory at current sales rates, that will last longer now that there is a new Kindle to sell.
So they’ll see how this Kindle sells and crunch the numbers. I would not expect to see anything until next year.
