Amazon will announce a new top of the line Kindle e-Reader this week and many people are claiming that it will be known as the Oasis. According to a Amazon Japan product listing this device will be waterproof and you will be able to interact with the screen via a stylus.
Also under development is a separate Kindle case with a battery that can be charged using solar power. It is unlikely this case will be released in the immediate future.
According to MarketWatch “The new Kindle and case are code-named “Whiskey” and “Soda,” respectively, and the solar-powered case is known internally as “Sunkiss” among engineers at Lab126, Amazon’s Silicon Valley hardware development unit, one of the people said. The division is responsible for other Amazon devices including its Echo virtual assistant, Fire tablets and Fire TV set-top box.”
