So yeah I had to refresh my memory and this particular model is the "first" iteration of the third generation Kindles, and they used pearl, it had just come out at that time in 2010. I remember the weird naming scheme they had now, the Kindle keyboard was/is referred to as the Kindle 3.
Usually the Kindles that come up at $40-$45ish are this one, the D00901, which is the current model. http://www.cowboom.com/product/903010
Paperwhite IS pretty nice, but I bought my parents the $40 Kindle keyboard 3Gs for their cruise, along with the OEM Amazon lighted leather case. I saved a lot of money and they didn't really care that much, they have iPads anyway it's just for reading because e-ink is easier on the eyes than an LCD. A light is really a must with this one, but you can get the black lighted case on Amazon or eBay "open box" for $20-$30. Or just a clip-on for $10.
