Hey All, I've got this Oasis bought in 2018. I'm about ready to deregister and register with Amazon since it looks like for whatever reason I cannot get the usb connection to work with any computer, so I will have to work with Send to Kindle. Don't really like that, but it's what I have. So I have to register the thing.

In reading up on registering kindle readers, I've read problems with people registering older models, but I don't really know how old. Can't update, too old, buy new one, etc. I was on chat and he actually disconnected when I told him for the third time IT WAS A GIFT. I did not buy it on my account, there is no order number. He just disconnected. No answers.

There is supposedly a slim chance I will be able to miraculously usb connect after deregistering (reformatting), but I'm certainly not counting on it. It sounds like a hardware problem to me, not operating system. If I actually do get usb connection, no registering with amazon, especially after this. It will be all side loading from calibre.

So before I lose the handful of books I haven't read yet, does anyone know if this oasis is old enough to cause problems, or am I good? Thanks for reading.
