Seems expensive for 16 GB of storage.

Yes, they should be discounting 32G and offering a 64G or 128G. The difference is less than cost of Wireless charging, which is a wasteful gimmick. You can read a "flat" ereader via 2m USB cable in bed and a so-called wireless (really in contact induction) charger needs a cable and PSU and wastes power.

Although no company makes a pre-built external SSD of that size, it's pretty easy to get a Thunderbolt external case and install a U.2 NVMe drive, which have capacities of up to 245TB.

You can get a 30TB U.2 for about $2,500.

I was under the impression that the 245TB drives are not yet available for purchase. Consider the cost of the 122GB drives, they are not going to be cheap. You may as well add PureStorage's DFM modules which are currently 150TB and expected to hit 300TB RSN. Admittedly, those modules only work with PureStorage's hardware.

Both versions are available in Australia. I just purchased the Signature edition as my overworked, much travelled five year old Paperwhite has suffered a screen malfunction

I am sorry to hear that, however, a specific media outlet had already confirmed last December that the Kindle Colorsoft would be released in Japan through Amazon Japan.
Although I only found out about this afterward, another outlet reconfirmed in June, through an interview with Mr. Panos Panay, that it would soon be available in Japan.

Around the same time, I read on Reddit that an Australian media outlet had revealed its launch within Australia. I believe Canada was the only region for which there was no information.

Even the Kindle Colorsoft 16GB SKU itself was known through Amazon.com.br.

The 254TB have just been announced, and you can't get them right now, but based on previous releases, I have no doubt they will be shipping before the end of the year.

Nice.

I'll buy another Kindle when they release another one with page turn buttons and not a day before.

I'll buy another Kindle when it's free. Otherwise no way. however, if Amazon does add page turn buttons, they'd have to pay me to take one.

I wouldn't mind a free Kindle but I would never sign in or connect on WiFi.
I'd just use it as a status display for a Raspberry Pi home system.

I would "buy" a Kindle if it was free*. I would also accept a Kindle if amazon was would pay me to take one*.

*depending on terms and conditions.

Fact is, I love my Oasis, and I just want newer one with better battery life and it'd all be perfect. I've been using Libby more and buying from non-Amazon platforms but I don't see another new e-reader out there that's like the Oasis and has better battery life.

I don't mind color but page turn buttons and better battery life are non-negotiable (unless my Oasis dies before this happens).
