Also, the Oasis 9th gen gets 4G in the US, doesn’t it. It only got 3G here in Australia, yet the hardware is the same. It must be the network bands that it uses or we are getting disadvantaged here. Would’ve been nice if instead of just turning off cellular, that Amazon switched it to 4G instead. If not a network band issue, then I’ll be quite disappointed.
We already can’t install Audible on our Kindles in Australia, which doesn’t make any sense to me. I can use Audible on my iPhone and in the Kindle iOS apps. BTW, when I purchased the Oasis, it was incorrectly advertised as supporting Audible.
I love my Kindles, just feeling very disadvantaged with options being unsupported in Australia.

I'd have returned it for a WiFi only model when I had the chance. You've payed extra for a feature that never worked as it should have and that's not cheap.
