The Oasis should've been updated right after the Basic, but we had the Scribe instead so who knows if there's even gonna be an Oasis at this point.

If we're going by the averages of release dates, the Paperwhite is due for a refresh next year. But we just had these new colors released so I doubt we'd get a new paperwhite so soon.

Honestly though, I think we're reaching a peak with e-readers. Even the Basic and the Paperwhite right now only have minimal differences. The Paperwhite being a year old doesn't really mean anything when it comes to e-readers.

Personally, unless you're really, really in love with the Oasis' form factor, it's hard to justify its price when the current Paperwhite exists.
