Amazon discontinues the last Kindle with physical buttons


RIP, Kindle Oasis.

The company announced a new Kindle lineup earlier today, but Amazon confirmed to The Verge that it’s moving on from the Oasis. “Once current inventory of Kindle Oasis sells out online and in stores, we will not restock the device,” Amazon’s Devon Corvasce says in a statement. Amazon first introduced the Kindle Oasis in 2016, positioning it as a high-end e-reader with page turn buttons and a design with added bulk on the side to make it easier to hold in one hand.
