I just received this used 8th gen kindle which is my first kindle and I must say the experience of reading in this old kindle is so amazing. The power of having a huge library in such a light and handy device is the main reason why I decided to give this kindle a try. I was fed up with that feeling of confusion (about choosing the right book for the day) while travelling out of my home (even to my workplace)

So I checked over Olx and found a guy selling 8th gen kindle. Honestly I knew very less about kindles coz I haven’t used it (my friends kindle) more than once or twice.

So i checked over the video call and once satisfied ordered it. I got it under INR3000

While unboxing I found that there were some sign of repairs as if it was opened and repaired. I charged the battery and turned on the kindle, setup my profile and it was working fine.

Drawback of Kindle 8th gen
NO UPDATES
NO BACKLIT
NO WATERPROOFING

Battery is not that good though on wifi but overall I like this device way too much. Let’s see how it works in coming days.

Hopefully I will upgrade this kindle in near future once I truly feel it to be of high utility for me.

BTW guess which book I started to read on this Kindle?

I have already shared my experience with this used kindle 8th gen basic.
What happened So far: https://www.reddit.com/r/kindleindia/s/o4xr0BwgIY
Its screen froze to a book cover and it was not waking up and no response was there despite trying multiple revival tricks. After trying so hard to fix this myself, I received some suggestions from reddit community (Ok-Audience-6781) and I was told that there might be some issue with the battery 🔋. Either the battery is faulty or some issue with the wiring.
So I took my kindle to a friend who is also a mobile hardware technician. I told him the same thing, he unplugged the battery from the board but nothing happened on screen. while keeping the battery unplugged from the board, he plugged the charger, still no response on the screen so he unplugged the charger also. But when he plugged the battery to the again to the board, Surprisingly IT STARTED TO FUNCTION AGAIN (atleast for now). And the smile on my face it brought was so satisfying.

I still dont know how and why it happened but atleast now I know what to do in this case.

Thanks for helping

Is posted about getting a used kindle yesterday [ https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/s/uVSV107NA4 ] and about my experience on day 1 which was so amazing that the first thing that I did after waking up the next day was to read a book on this kindle so with a lot of excitement and hopes I pressed the power button while adoring this beautiful book cover but to my surprise the kindle didn’t respond so I thought maybe its not responding due to some issue so I long pressed the power button to hard restart the kindle but nothing seemed to work.

Hours passed and I kept doing the same thing along with some other tricks from youtube but nothing seemed to work.

And now I fell like the big brother has highjacked my kindle coz maybe I was trying to know way too much than I was supposed to know and now Ministry of Truth got hold of me.

Will update in case of any development

I wanted to buy it because they are good for eyes , I read too much on phone and it's irritating my eye,

Which is better kindle or kobo, can I download books from internet and just send it to device to read free , are there ads on ereader, what is jailbreaking, can I do it on new kindle , I looked on Amazon there is only one kindle that is selling, there are 2 kobos , I initially thought of buying old kindle but I am scared of scams , can I read my college notes pdf on it, which is more durable, easily repairable

NOT SELLING. JUST WANT TO KNOW THE WORTH OF MY KINDLE.
