Kindle Keyboard 6" Wi-Fi E-Reader Price: $14.99 Shipping Options:: $5 Standard OR $10 Two-Day OR $20 One-Day Shipping Estimates: Ships in 3-5 Business Days. (Tuesday, Oct 11 to Friday, Oct 14) + transit Condition: Refurbished
refurbished for $20 with shipping or brand spanking new for $24 on Amazon… If I bought something else already to offset shipping, but otherwise, not a great deal…
In for 2. Replacement for friend’s elderly mother, and one for me. Amazon just announced that e-books will begin rotating through Prime. So, now I’ll have something to read them on if I see any good books!
I don’t even think Amazon sells it new any more. The ~$24 is for used ones. Actually, the one for sale here has special offers, which is ~$27 (Actual model)
This is a great Kindle by the way. I accidently broke my screen a couple years ago, and had switched to a tablet a little after, but reading is much easier on the Kindle. I think the size is just right, and I love the physical buttons like the Keyboard, and side page buttons, which are absent from the newer models. This one also has speakers which newer Kindle models lack.
The e-ink display is very nice, though Amazon has improved it even further since. As it has no backlight, you’ll need a book light or read by a lamp if you plan to read in low lit areas. It works very nice during the day, and outside. If you want a solid device for reading, this is a steal at this price.
For 15 bucks and a decent standby battery life, I’ll just load it with my sheet music and throw it in my trombone case. I already have a couple of tablets that I like to use but this will make a nice emergency backup for those few songs I haven’t memorized yet and am traveling lite, even though it has a small screen…
Well, since it was still up I caved and bought this. I figure that even if I hardly ever use it, it’s probably cheaper than replacing my Kindle Touch’s battery.
Yep, Calibre easily converts it. I think you can also convert it by sending an email to your kindle (yourname@kindle.com) wiht the subject line “convert” and it may convert it too. I know I’ve done that for a few formats, not sure if epub was one.
Last time they had these, I bought one, and is was the 3G model! So, very nice getting that and WiFi. Battery is a little tired, but I think you can replace it (I’ve not verified that though).
