I would add my bit of speculation: they are preparing to launch a 7.8/8" Oasis or Scribe Mini.

I agree. Maybe a Scribe Mini with buttons? Please?

Don't worry, Jon. We'll see this wild speculation reported as being from informed source in the next while.

It's important to realise that it's nearly impossible for a blog that has a shop to be objective. Also things like "Blue Light Toxicity Factor" are not scientific, but marketing. |

Had a look today and the graphite 8GB ad-supported is back in stock in the US, but others are still unavailable.

I think with Jeff B gone, the Oasis will not be replaced. The Kindle was his passion, and I think the top people at Amazon nowadays could not care less about Kindles. So, even though I don’t love the guy, I still think it’s a shame he’s not involved with the day to day running of Amazon any more. Sorry to be pessimistic - I certainly hope I’m wrong.

The Oasis 9th gen, 32gb is available as used very good condition, with ads for $145. There are TWO left in stock. I got mine today and it looks brand new. Not a scratch.
I set it up and I am going to test the battery life on it. It's listed as ad-supported, but in my device list on Amazon it say "ad free". Act quickly because there are only two left. Edit: six hours later now they are all gone. Last edited by richorlin; 02-14-2024 at 10:33 PM. |

Just for fun, I chatted with Amazon customer support to inquire about when the Oasis would be in stock again. I was told that they don't have any information about when it would be restocked and pointed me to the Paperwhite.

The Kindle exists to sell books and I'm doubtful oasis owners buy many more books than paperwhite owners. They are not the whales that bring in the bulk of profits
