Kindle Paperwhite - is it worth it?

I currently have a Kindle 10th Generation 2019 (J9G29R) - I’m looking to either just buy a new case for it to freshen it up a bit and give it a new look (kindle case recommendations are very welcome!)

Or, do I wait and buy a new kindle paperwhite/colour?

10 gen paperwhite - 6K : location Bangalore

Selling my 10th gen kindle paperwhite. Working condition. Not jailbroken. Display working. Wifi connection is also good. Decent battery life. Fully charged on 30th July. I read a book over 5 days. On 3rd Aug, the remaining charge was 68%. I don't know enough to describe much technical details, but I'm willing to share videos if required. I am also selling the case along with the kindle. If interested, I can include my crochet sleeve also. I am not interested in using a shipping service, as I don't want to deal with the hassle of that, so face to face preferred. I am also open to sending via Swiggy/dunzo, etc. within Bangalore, at buyers cost and risk. Please DM if interested 😊

Is my kindle done for?

I read my kindle all night and when I went to read it this morning it started glitching turning off and on and was stuck on the kindle starting page and my book page for about 5 minutes. It’s working fine now but I never had this happen and I’ve had it for almost 2 years now.

Has anyone had this happen? Should I start saving up for a new one ?😖

Can I trust second hand e-readers? Also need recommendations.

Hii, I got back into reading last year and it has been going well. However, since I have been reading on my ipad, my eye-sight has progressively become worse.

I was thinking of investing in a second hand kindle or even a kobo, don't want to put money on a brand new one for now.

I am a bit confused about which model to prefer and which website to trust. Would appreciate some help on this. Thanks!

Also my criteria is mainly a good battery life and a smooth overall user experience with basic features for highlighting, bookmarking or adding notes/annotations. My budget is 5k INR.

Looking for a Kindle Paperwhite 10th Gen for my nephew

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a Kindle Paperwhite 10th Gen for my nephew. He absolutely loves reading and gets really excited about books.

His birthday is coming up on 29th August, and I'd really love to surprise him with a Kindle.

I'm based in Himachal Pradesh and looking for a reasonably priced used unit in good working condition. I'm completely fine with buying from anywhere in India and will cover the shipping costs.

If you have one to sell, please share photos, condition, and asking price.

Hoping to make his birthday a little special. 🙂

Should I buy a second-hand Kindle or wait for a new 6” model?

I’ve been reading for around 5–6 years and recently started using a Kindle for the first time. After actually using one, I really like the experience, but I’m still not sure whether I should buy one.
The main issue is that the Kindle currently available in India is a 7” model, and I personally prefer the size of the 6” Kindle. I find 6” more compact and comfortable to carry around.
I’m currently considering a second-hand Kindle 11th Gen (6”, 16GB) that I can get for around ₹6,200 on Facebook Marketplace. I can inspect it before buying, but obviously there’s no proper retailer warranty.
My other option is to wait and see if Amazon launches a new 6” Kindle in India. I don’t know if or when that will happen, though.
I don’t want to spend money just for the sake of owning one.
So what would you guys do?
1. Buy the used 11th Gen for ~₹6,200?
2. Wait for Amazon to launch a new 6” Kindle?
3. Forget about buying one and continue using my phone/tablet?
Would especially like to hear from people who have owned both a second-hand and a brand-new Kindle.
