Well, Cinisajoy ain't flying nowhere, since she has to cover the fees for that amazon gift card....

No USB port on the cover has been confirmed by a customer who just received his..

Spending $500 on a TV I'll use for an hour every other day puts me firmly in the "budget" category.

Even without such a direct comparison I'd say that even $300/yr to have the latest and greatest is on the low end compared to most other hobbies.

Come to that, I have a very poorly-paid friend (he carries things around in a paint factory) who spends the equivalent of at least $300 every month on cigarettes. We all make our own decisions about how to spend the money we have.

I wonder if the Oasis means that Amazon will concentrate only on high end expensive readers now. I hope not. I would never be without a kindle but the cost of the Voyage ( I paid £150 for mine) is about my limit for an Amazon ereader. I can admit if money was no object I'd like an Oasis but it's just too much money to spend on a ereader tied to Amazon as completely the Kindles are.

I'm too wary now of Amazon to spend hundreds of pounds with them anymore.

I see no reason whatsoever to believe that to be the case. They're selling devices at a whole range of different price points, and that can only be good for the customer.

Or the "you have no children and never buy yourself presents and your 40th birthday is a few days after the release date" category. (I'll admit that this category is probably fairly small.)

... so apparently a non-UPS labor dispute is delaying my package from Italy in Germany. The strike classed as a "Warning" by the Union and not even a real conflict.

Or in my case I get past September and no new letter from Amazon, plus I get made redundant (which is happy days by the way)

I think if you have no children then you're practically affluent by definition!

It doesn't have a charging port in the cover, only the Oasis.

You can watch Len's video for the proof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd8IOMPAKw0
