I agree. Had all three Oases over the years and really liked them. Still, I sold my last Oasis (the 2019 version) a couple of years ago and moved exclusively to Kobo. No matter how nice the Oasis hardware was, I vastly prefer the Kobo software and integration with Calibre. Plus, the Libra 2 has a noticeably better screen (more contrasty, sharper and with a nicer screen coloring - the Oasis was a bit too yellow for my taste) than my Oasis 3 had. I compared them side by side and the Libra won hands down.
Unless Amazon produces a new, really-really good Oasis, I'm not going to buy a Kindle again.
