Heads up -- I've purchased two "refurbished" Kindles from Woot in the past.

Both weren't refurbished -- not even in the slightest. They were -very- beat up with scratches, dings, etc. The battery lasted 30-45min with 50% brightness and no wifi.

Woot's "refurbished" means heavily used yard sale/thrift store quality. It's a spit shine minus the shine, with extra spit.

They did make it right with refunds, but that was a LOT of back and forth. Unnecessary hassle.
This one is the Paperwhite version which has a better screen(higher ppi and better backlight)but still with microusb.
Woot's "refurbished" doesn't mean that either. It's a complete grab bag. I've gotten something beat up but also something basically brand new (if not brand new). Never know what you're gonna get.

Im confused now. There is a 2019 version, 4GB and then there is this version...for more money...2018. Which one is actually the best version of this deal?

Edit: Just realized this is a Paperwhite vs a normal Kindle in the other deal.

I got the 2015 Gen 7 4GB one from Woot last July. Battery is still amazing on it. I read every day (although sometimes not more than15 minutes before I fall asleep.) On airplane mode I can go weeks without charging the battery. Was definitely used condition. I could see the outline of a sticker someone had put on the back of the kindle. Wasn't that bothered and I just threw a different sticker over the top. Just glad of the battery life on it.

Just picked up the Steel Blue 8GB one for my husband. Can't beat that price. Hope we get another good battery.

These are still the blue backlight, right? If so, when did they add the amber version?
