As for syncing on a Kindle, you do know that you will lose your covers.

A Kobo Libra 2 is better in almost every way vs a Kindle.
When my PW3 broke I actually bought a refurbished PW3 to replace it after looking at the PW4 at Best Buy. They really took a step backward with that one. To address OP, I have an Oasis 3 now but unless you really want the buttons, it's hard to justify it over the PW5. If you want buttons I'd hold out for a new Oasis at this point or look into the Libra 2 (I don't know much about it though). The PW5 makes it really hard to justify spending double the amount for an Oasis.
