I have not made any statements of facts. I merely expressed an opinion. You were the one who said his statements are facts, not opinions. If you had said that in your opinion the current Oasis is a failure, then this discussion would have ended right there. Instead you said that it's a fact. Well, it isn't and you have not proven anything of the sort.

But I have explained the Oasis concept to you.

There is no "Oasis concept". There was the concept for the Oasis 1, and there is the concept for the Oasis 2/3. Why do you insist they should be the same?

I have given you the facts, that made the original Oasis particulary lightweight and ergonomic.
I have given you the facts, why the Oasis 2/3 does not fulfill this concept anymore.

Why should the Oasis 2 fulfill the concept of the Oasis 1? It's not the same device, except in name. It fulfills a different concept. All you're saying is that the Oasis 2/3 is a failure because it's different from the Oasis 1. And that's not a fact, but an opinion.

No, that is not what I have said.
I did not say that it cannot be comfortable to hold and I did not say, that people should or cannot like it.
I said, that it lost almost everything, that once made it particulary ergonomic. (Again, see previous posts...)

That still doesn't make it a failure. It lost something (exceedingly light weight) and it gained something (larger screen and better battery). There are always trade-offs. I, for one, prefer the Oasis 2/3 to the Oasis 1 (which I sold after buying the Oasis 2). So do many others, and have done so for the past 4 years. Amazon would hardly have kept a failed device in production for 4 years.
I'm not saying they're certainly not going to discontinue it; they may, but not for the reasons you stated. The main reason is likely to be too high a price, which resulted in too few sales. Nothing to do with concepts or ergonomics.
Note that it's an opinion, not a fact. I don't know what Amazon is going to do or why; and neither do you.
