I am very confused.
But then I did just finish streaming the eurovision semi final. I expect at some point they'll sell the covers separately. For those that want an extra battery for their oasis. Is it possible for someone to create a charger for the cover? I am not very technical so not sure how or what is needed there. But it seems interesting. |

Technically -- it should be dead simple to develop a separate charger. The connector isn't difficult. Some of the charging equipment may be in the Oasis, but it could probably be replicated, if that is so. IMHO. |

I was happy (this is where I bought my 3G Touch for $15). I'm more or less a "trailing edge" (cheap) kind of customer anyhow. But Touches are coming down all over. You can even buy one (used) for $23 on Amazon Prime now (directly from the Amazon WarehouseDeals). With the Constantia font it's about the perfect eReader for me.
But I still want to see -- and handle -- an Oasis. I like the weight and design -- at least going by what I've seen of it on the Internet. (I hear its CPU is made of tuna.) |

Well, when e-Readers where new items they were all expensive. The price complaints stem from the fact that prices, like on most computer related items, has come down over the years. An Amazon Fire is now available, with color screen and more storage and better CPU, for $50. In that perspective sticker price for an Oasis seems a bit exorbitant. But Amazon is becoming a more share holder friendly company, so the days of buying market share with products at near cost process may soon be gone.
