Is this refurbished or new?
It says new. I purchased one on here a few months ago & absolutely love it!
Have you read Sookie Stackhouse stuff? I mean, it descends into trash occasionally, but Charlaine Harris is an enjoyably creative writer.
Don’t sell her short.

Is there a way to remove ads from this model if it says “Ad Supported”?
Usually you can. It’s not free to remove the ads tho.
I find the Kindle ads to be fairly unobtrusive. It’s just on the lock screen iirc. Also, iirc if you disable wifi they don’t show up. Just turn the wifi back on when you want to dl a book.
I’m assuming this doesn’t have usb c?
Currently $49.99 on Amazon?
It’s not related to this specific model, but I kind of wonder since they’re phasing out 3G, I wonder if they’ll be a 4G/5G Kindle model.
Thank you! Just snatched it over there.
The one on Amazon is used condition.
This model did have a 4G version for a while. Amazon didn’t carry that over to the newest Paperwhite. The Oasis is still available in 4G, but I think Amazon is trying to phase out cellular coverage.
The only ads you will see are on the lock screen. I bought this the last time it came up and it’s great and I haven’t seen an ad yet.
Yes, you can pay an additional $20 after you register it with Amazon. Not worth it, ads are only on the first page that is easily swiped through.

Mine arrived today and it don’t have any power cord, or anyway to charge it?
i charged mine today and it is stuck on the screen saver. I press the On button and I see the green light but nothing happens. double press? nothing. long press? nothing. any other combination? nothing.
Maybe try charging it a bit longer. If no luck, reach out to Woot! Customer Service. To speed things up, let them know if you prefer a return/refund or a replacement (if possible).
