The Oasis is a mistake. It just is a bad design. It doesn't give what most people want as top end Kindle. What would have worked would have been a new Voyage with a 6.8" screen. That would have been a real update. |

As per usual, there's a glaring omission from your post Mr Wolf "IMHO". You can't really think you know better than Amazon what their customers want.... can you?

This means maybe new hardware and major changes to the firmware. |

You're right. Amazon doesn't give people what they want. That must be why they're such a minor player in the e-reader game

You said it is easy to give everyone what they want. So I can have new kitchen on your dime? |

Yes, they are very easily hackable, software wise, and there are many more options for displaying text, and they have more screen size options. They still don't give everyone what they want. Shari |

I really liked the Oasis when I tried it out. The only improvements I wanted from it was more memory, buttons on both sides, and preferably a home button (like most tablets have). I'd settle for the memory (you can never have too much) and a home button on that wide expanse of bezel.
I don't know about the software. I didn't try it but library management seems the area most lacking in Amazon's readers that I have owned. The manage your content page on Amazon's web is just awful (especially after you are used to Calibre's beautiful design). |
