To OP: If you're switching soon I would probably jump ship to Kobo instead and then DeDRM all of your Amazon purchased books with Calibre. I don't think it's worth buying the Oasis 3 in this year as it's already 4 years out, and if you wanna stick with Amazon, Paperwhite 5 (2021) is probably the better deal (minus the less ergonomic form factor compared to the Oasis, and no turn buttons.)
The PW5 is a good design. It does not need any page turn buttons.
