It would be better to get the facts right, I note again.
The only 6.8" Kindle is the Paperwhite 5 and that isn't what they offered me. The offer was a discount on a new Kindle. The offer may have included PW5 or Oasis 3 but I didn't care. I'd already jumped ship to Kobo, and Aura One existed. The only use I had for a new Kindle at the time is a placeholder for D&T and DRM stripping. For that I would have wanted the cheapest model availble which would have been a 6" model. Except that I already had a second-hand PW3 for that purpose.
