Amazon discontinues the last Kindle with physical buttons

Amazon has discontinued the Kindle Oasis, which was the only Kindle still available with physical page turn buttons. The company announced a new Kindle range earlier today, but Amazon has confirmed this The edge that it continues from the oasis.

“Once the current inventory of the Kindle Oasis sells out online and in stores, we will no longer restock the device,” Amazon’s Devon Corvasce said in a statement. “Today, all of our devices are touch-enabled, which our customers like.”

Amazon's own listing for the Oasis includes a message that the e-reader is “currently unavailable.”

Amazon first introduced the Kindle Oasis in 2016, positioning it as a high-end e-reader with page turn buttons and a design with more volume on the side to make it easier to hold in one hand. The company updated the e-reader in 2017 and again in 2019, but has not updated the product since then.
