My first Kindle was the 2nd gen one, right after they dropped the price to $359 (from its original $399 debut price). Hard to believe I happily paid $359 for my first one, but $289 looks outrageous for the latest model. The Oasis looks awesome, but I have a 1st gen Paperwhite and it still runs just fine.
