New iPhones (iPhone SE) start at $399 USD. That’s only 4-5 Kindles, and you can also use it as a phone. A fully loaded (WiFi + cellular, 32GB) costs only $50 USD less, and you can’t even text anyone with it.

I've had more trouble with Kindles than Kobos.

Liking both, Kobo and Kindle, I've had more trouble with Kobos than Kindles.

Update for Oasis please
I'm using the wires old Voyage which now has issues, what I need is an excuse to buy the wife a new (updated) Oasis so I can have the old 'Oasis'.

I got an email from Amazon in last couple of weeks about some book deals (I ask for them) and one of the banners depicted a reading device, but it didn’t resemble any shipping Amazon device. It had the screen aspect ratio of a Kindle, but the bezels were the same width on top/bottom/left/right. I have been meaning to see if I can find it again so I can post it here. Was it a mockup of a new one? Why would they not use a shipping Kindle?

Some person in the Kindle subreddit posted this from Amazon Mexico, this might be proof the rumors may be true!

Here is an image showing two new 6.8 inch Paperwhite models (regular and Signature Edition) from another Reddit thread.

I should have said, thanks for the Reddit link to jhowell...
Also from the Reddit thread (from the Canadian Amazon page)... Starting at $680 Canadian? EDIT: A little further down, price updated to... $149.99 & $209.99 Canadian EDIT: The Signature Edition has 32 GB, auto-light sensing and wireless charging. EDIT: 17 LEDs (instead of 5) and a warm light. Hope this spurs PocketBook to make a 6.8" version of the HD 3. Last edited by rcentros; 09-20-2021 at 12:10 AM. |

So there seems to be some substance to this rumor. I've already got the cash set aside and am patiently waiting

It looks like it — and, since Canadian price is currently listed at $149 (for the base model), that should mean the U.S. version would sell for about the same as current PaperWhites. (Unless the price on the Canadian site is actually the U.S. price and a mistake — you can't follow the link yet, so no way to verify.)

u/BleepBleepBeep in the thread on r/Kindle for the listing in Amazon Canada managed to squeeze more info out.
https://i.imgur.com/89riWnx Supposedly it might come out on October 27th. Take it with a grain of salt, but considering this is all happening so soon I suggest keeping an eye on Amazon. |

Hmmm...setting my pennies aside. I'll probably sell my Oasis and get the Paperwhite. More lights, a little larger screen, and no page turn buttons? Yes please.
