I got the kindle oasis because of the next/prev page buttons. I don't know why they discontinued it.

YES, I love the physical buttons. I have mine rotated so that the buttons are at the bottom, and it works well. The weight is distributed more evenly this way as well.

Did they actually announce that the Oasis was discontinued or did they just stop making them?

It sounds like they did both:

Well, that is a shame. I hope that my Oasis lasts forever!
