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.”

Amazon first introduced the Kindle Oasis in 2016, positioning it as a high-end e-reader with page turn buttons and a design with added bulk on the side to make it easier to hold in one hand. The company refreshed the e-reader in 2017 and again in 2019, but it hasn’t updated the product since.
