no oasis refresh?

no buttons? no purchase.

Been waiting a long time, I suppose it's time to move to alternatives, as it's a pain to carry around a usb-micro cable just for my kindle.



Oasis was officially discontinued last year. I'm in the same boat. I love my oasis and will not upgrade until I get those buttons.


ah, I missed that announcement - that's a shame; thanks for the info


I'm in the same boat. Give me USB-C, page turn buttons, maybe even wireless charging and I'd upgrade almost reflexively. I've been eyeing various Android-based eReaders (like Boox Page) that have Kindle support through an app.


A friend showed me usb adapters from usb-c to lightning and I found that very helpful for usb-c -> micro as well to charge the kindle.


unfortunately it's not much different carrying an adapter around than carrying the cable; but I'll have a look at options, thanks


I have a single USB-C to USB-C cable for travel that has a permanently attached USB-A adapter on one side, and lightning and micro adapters (also attached) on the other end. Not as slick as just USB-C, but it’s a single cable that does power and data, along with a single USB-C brick, and since it does data it works in any rental car as well. Check them out!


just to be clear its a small piece like this https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Adaptor-Charger-Extender-Sams... which I feel like is much easier to bring around than another cable, but I can see how it's annoying to have another dongle
