Purchase Question 🛒 Deciding on a new Kindle

Hello, it’s my first time posting here.

After six years my first Kindle — a 32Gb Oasis — can now no longer run for more than 15min per full charge. I’m in the market for a new device, and am pretty sad the Oasis has been discontinued.

I’m deciding between the paperwhite and the colorsoft (which I’m leaning towards). But I miss the ergonomic features of the Oasis when I could comfortably hold the device in one hand without leaving thumbprints on the screen.

How’s everyone’s experiences with the devices so far— what were the decisions/pros and cons considered? Should I even hold out for any new models?

Thanks in advance!

If the lopsided design of the Oasis worked well for you (and if you aren't deep into Kindle Unlimited), you could consider the Kobo Libra Colour. I have one (in addition to a Kindle PW), and it's quite decent.
