Pre owned Kindle Touch 3G + WIFI for $52 AC + tax + Free Shipping

Quote from 9thJedi : no charging cable kills it for me.

I don't think a sub $5 item "killed" it for you lol.

Quote from rsquare : You can only access Amazon.com store, wikipedia on 3G. On Kindle Keyboard you get some limit/month of full 3G browsing.

That sucks! I'll keep my Kindle Keyboard and return the Kindle Touch then.
I need to check email on the go.

Just a reminder that the Kindle Touch has limited 3G (only amazon and wikipedia) the Kindle keyboard has unlimited 3G, you can get your email if you want.

ahhhhh..

thanks.

I use text to speech all the time. You get used to its imperfections quickly. It's nice to read and be read to at the same time. The "pages" turn with the speech conversion. I like my Touch overall. You do need a light source though and clip on lights can be awkward for some.

Kindle keyboard 3G was imposed with a 50MB per month limit last time I checked. The great thing is is that it's uncensored. If you are in a foreign country with censored internet, this will tunnel to let you access normally blocked websites.

WIll amazon alert you or automatically charge you if you go over the 3g limit on the touch/keyboard?

does anyone know if you can load books onto this straight from your comp, like books not bought through amazon? I have lots of epubs on my comp and I'm curious.

I have both an iPad and an iPad mini. Any real reason to get this over just using the kindle app?

From what I understand, although the screen specs from the Keyboard (what I have) and the next generation are the same, the Keyboard versions got a higher binning so there is less quality variation. So the PaperWhite screen improvement should be more noticeable in comparison to the previous generation, but possibly not as much against the Keyboard.

I still hold on to both my keyboard models as the free 3G, even capped, is a great back-up email access when travelling. Hard to beat that feature for frequent international travelers!

Quote from hieuhef : I honestly don't think the higher resolution trumps the older version by that much, I hardly notice the difference from a borrowed Kindle keyboard with my Paperwhite. Now, on tablets and computer monitors... yeah, you'll definitely notice higher res, but for ereaders, it's very subtle.

e-ink is generally easier to read (especially outdoors), easier on your eyes and battery life is much greater for just reading.

Yep, been doing that for years on my Kindle and Nook. Have never purchased anything from their respective "stores" (but some of the Amazon freebies often posted on obesewallet are interesting).

Nook has a little better screen (but hardly worth talking about), and can be rooted to be an android tablet (which leaves the original functionality totally intact). But the free 3G, albeit slow and a testy browser on the Kindle, is nice at times.

Hope this helps.
