Amazon discontinues the last Kindle with physical buttons

Amazon has discontinued the Kindle Oasis, the only remaining Kindle model with physical page-turn buttons. The company confirmed this decision after announcing a new Kindle lineup earlier in the day. Once the current inventory of Kindle Oasis sells out, it will not be restocked. Amazon stated that customers are now comfortable with touch-forward devices, which is why they're moving away from the Oasis. The Kindle Oasis was first introduced in 2016 as a high-end e-reader with a unique design. It was refreshed in 2017 and 2019 but hasn't seen an update since. The new Kindle lineup announced today includes a larger Paperwhite, a Kindle with a color screen, and a second-generation Kindle Scribe. However, none of these new models feature physical page-turn buttons. The Kindle Oasis is currently listed as "currently unavailable" on Amazon's website. The discontinuation of the Kindle Oasis marks the end of an era for the device.
