Just checked kobo sites due to original comment. The catalog may be smaller but now they (India store) have comparable book prices to kindle. The last time (many years back) I checked, books were not available in India.

I had first edition terrible keyboard kindle and have a paperwhite. It seems libra colour is still not available in India.

That's still my favourite ever Kindle, simply for the side buttons for next/previous page.

Touch interface is so much more inconvenient in comparison, for the main purpose of reading and navigating through books.

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!
