It's not my interest, but it's nice they are doing an affordable basic with a backlight introduced. People should just get the PW though IMO, but some people may only be looking at the price.

Just a question. As this is 167ppi, would it support active content?

So they basically took the only Kindle without the extra plastic light layer and gave it one. I’m glad I have the last version of the Kindle Basic without the light layer. I never could get past the loss of clarity from the light layer nor the horrible blue light shadows. Too distracting for me and terrible on my eyes. I would have much preferred a 300dpi Basic without front light.

God, how boring!!!
I want a new premium device already! It’s been something like 2 years since the Oasis came out, I need to frivolously throw my money away again on another kindle already! |

A year and a half, actually. But yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly as to the the need to throw my money away on a new premium model.

I wish they would come out with another Voyage. Not that I need to replace mine yet, but I have a feeling that the way the Oasis is constructed - with one side being heavier and thicker than the other - is not going to be for me.
