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 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. “Today, all of our devices are touch-forward which is what our customers are comfortable with.”
Amazon’s own listing for the Oasis includes a message that the e-reader is “currently unavailable.”
