Ad-supported basically means before you turn it on, it has a book suggestion. After you turn it on, no ads.

The only real difference between this model and the current model is this uses micro-USB vs USB-C charging port

That's not quite true. The newer model (2021+) has a larger screen within the same size body, and has adjustable warm lighting (which has actually made a huge difference for me).

2018 was the model many paperwhite users said felt like a downgrade from the previous gen. People were saying the only reason they would upgrade was if they really wanted the waterproof feature, otherwise, the previous gen was better. I think it had to do with the screen not being as sharp and responsive as the previous model, can't recall all the reasons anymore. At the time I was seriously interested in upgrading, but decided to wait based on user comments.

At this point, I'd get the 2021 if I were in the market and skip the 2018 (I have the 2021 model, decided to also skip the 2024 model due to so many having quality control issues/yellowing of screens).

I think I have the 2021 model (has USB-C charging, among other things), but was $90 on Woot, used.
This is the prior generation even from my older generation, but $50 is hard to beat, especially if anyone is just getting their first Kindle and isn't sure if they'll stick with it.

This was $30 on Woot three weeks ago.

Might be worth waiting for another deal on Woot.

There are a many great products I have passed on because they included micro-USB. It's simply not worth dealing with anymore.

I agree. Woot usually has this one on sale for $30 and and the 2021 model for about $50-60. I would wait for the next sale.

One reason to get an older kindle like this might be to still be able to back up your ebooks. The current firmware on modern kindles prevent it, but this kindle won't be compatible with that firmware.

would this work with TRMNL as an eInk Display? I imagine this version is jailbreak-able
