(I have the Kindle Oasis 2)

I agree with almost all of the above, except for the touchscreen. I had the Kindle Non-Touch 4 and used it from 2012-2019, and having the touchscreen was an amazing improvement in usability and QOL when using the Kindle. Makes navigating, creating collections etc a lot faster. Other than that, I wish they would show the Kindle more love!

The touchscreen makes the Kindle unusable with one-hand operation. I'm glad the Oasis went back (at least partially) to buttons, though the buttons are too small.

The Kindle 3 did buttons right. You don't even need to push the page advance/retreat buttons, just flex your palm holding the Kindle. Very nice.
