Amazon announce the Kindle Oasis

Kindle Oasis is the thinnest and lightest Kindle, with ergonomic design, a premium leather charging cover, and the highest resolution of any e-reader.

It’s also their most expensive version ever. Starting from US$290 for the ad supported version you’re really looking at a minimum of US$309 or US$380 for the WiFi + 3G model. Ouch! That’s one expensive e-reader.

Due to start shipping at the end of April I can’t justify the upgrade despite it’s interesting new design. Can you?
