Oh great, now the Oasis seems like even more of a hard sell for those interested in upgrading.
8 GB of storage with no USB-C, with a slightly bigger screen than the current Paperwhite, when the basic model of Kindle has 16 GB of storage now and not only has USB-C, but also a 300 PPI display.
Basically, the base model is now better in some ways than the Oasis. At least it is a good upgrade for people still using the Paperwhite 2 and 3.
