I'll stick to my Voyage. Don't see the point to pay that amount for really no new or innovative features...

Len Edgerly in his weekly podcast, which this week is all about this new e-reader, asked the design team about color and was told it wasn't ready. Listening to their comments, it wasn't clear to me that any e-reader they're going to produce will ever feature color, which isn't to say that they might not offer a liquavista tablet sometime in the future.
Link to the podcast in case anyone is interested...

As for Liquavista a tablet that can accept various reading apps sounds more appealing to me than a dedicated Kindle.

Way more than I'm willing to pay, but if it's worthwhile to you, don't let me stop you. I'll stick with my Kindle Keyboard and my $50 Fire Tablet.

I downloaded and read the users guide. It was very thin on most of the details of the 'change font' menu (where rotation is on the K4NT)

Also I saw: 'attery Life' they skipped proofing?

Oh gawwwd... There was mad moment in the other thread, the one with all the speculation before details of the Oasis were officially released. Earlier today it went ever so slightly off-topic and was about kitchen stuff and tuna

On the version I downloaded, it also had on Chapter 1, page 1 "Select your evice language" and three lines further down "Link your Kinddle to your social network". Clearly they noticed a missing d, but added it back at the wrong place! I noticed the "attery Life" too.

You mean there is a difference between kindle and kitchen? I thought they were the same since you find both at a big river.

Now back on topic, the official kindle oasis page says strong glass.

Same here. I like the Voyage (and what I see of the Oasis) but I've never paid more than $75 for an eReader (my first one, NST) in my life. I may -- eventually -- buy a Paperwhite, but I won't be paying nearly $200 to $300 for an eReader. Even if it did taste like tuna.

Looks is not everything.
It has BUTTONS to turn pages
It come WITH a case
I appears to be easy to hold with 1 hand (leves the other free to pet the cat )

I do wish it was $200. My (old $200) PEz is on its last legs. I coul call it an even replacement

You need the strong glass to chop pickles on when preparing tuna sandwiches
