Is this a sign?

[Sydney's Mom]

I saw today that Amazon was giving a $20 credit toward a new kindle if you traded in an old one. I decided to trade in my kindle touch (still have a k keyboard). I mailed it off, and now I see that the credit does not apply toward an Oasis. And, every kindle is on sale, except for the Oasis.

I guess I am not meant to get an Oasis.

I have an old touch that I am waiting to "redeem" until they allow the Oasis. And I'm saving my amazon reward points from my creditcard. Maybe by the end of year...

It was only $18. So $38 with the redemption. But no Oasis. Hopefully you will get it by the end of the year. Good luck.

Amazon is currently carrying 4 models, which is unusual.
It may be a sign that they want to sell out of everything except the Oasis.

There isn't a real good place in the line-up to introduce a new model, if that is what they intend to do.

They did make a production run of a revised, 4Gbyte, PW-3 recently (new model numbers for those).
Something a company does when they are running short of stock.

What's different with this revised PW3?

I am not sure.
It is newer than the Japan Only, 32Gbyte model.

The two newest PW3 models are ones that we don't support, so we don't get much information from the users.

There isn't a separate source code bundle for it, nor a separate firmware download.
So the model number change may just be for production or stocking purposes.

The model number is part of the serial number and the serial number is on the box now.
So a model number change would make it easier to be sure the oldest stock is sold out first.
(Some of those batteries haven't been charged in two years.)
