The Oasis, with page-turn buttons, hasn't been refreshed since mid-2019; the latest Paperwhite, with USB-C port, was released two years later. I expect the next Oasis will have USB-C.

I was really hoping for a new Oasis in this announcement! I currently use a Voyage, a long-since-discontinued Kindle that was a hybrid of the Paperwhite and the Oasis, with a symmetric design and haptic page turn "buttons" on the left and right bezels.

With the arrival of the Paperwhite Signature Edition I'm wondering if Amazon is going to phase out the Oasis line entirely, just as they did with Voyage. It can't be selling that well as virtually every feature is now as good or better on the Paperwhite line.

Virtually every feature except for the physical turn buttons, which was always the feature that made Oasis so much better than cheaper Kindle models.

Thanks for mentioning this - I've been waiting many many years to upgrade my kindle until they released one with USB C. I didn't know they had one out now
