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. In other words, "junk". E-waste. A scam, if you'd permit a bit of the hyperbolic.
These here are "Scratch & Dent" -- I'd hate to see what these look like, as "refurbished" was downright ugly and functionally unusable.
They did make it right with refunds, but that was a LOT of back and forth. Unnecessary hassle.

the e-ink screens are amazing, but the cost on premium models is insane when the same screens from over a decade ago are just as good (unless you need added features from a tablet).

I'd probably be putting it in a 3D printed cover and it would not be for hand held use, so I unless the screen was scratched up beyond recognition, I just need a cheap e-ink display.
For two Kindles, charging then using it normally for 30-45min each time....that's several hours of my day wasted. I work for a living. I have a family. I have a figurative never-ending MOUNTAIN of obligations. For a sub-$100 toy, if I placed ANY monetary value on my time, I'd just slam the piece of junk into the garbage can and walk away.
After several emails going back and forth, they refunded me. Nothing given for my time or hassle after selling me clearly something that wasn't "refurbished" in the slightest.100% lied to, just like how buying from AMAZON directly -actually has resulted- in getting counterfeits. It's a scam. Nothing but deception.
"Woot" is an Amazon company. This is first-party refurbishment. Add all this to Amazon's warts, like inventory commingling. I don't trust either Woot or Amazon to do anything right, and after all this, I don't think I actually -want- to buy a Kindle in the future.
