If you want a B&W Kindle then they are pretty good so long as you educate yourself on the limitations and the vendor lock-in.
The Kindle Fires, though, best to pass on them for now unless you're buying one for a kid.

Still a decent deal if you caught the cheaper ones before they went oos.
I also have a 2019 Fire HD 10 that I hardly ever used and they offered $20 for that too. It seemed low but considering they're selling the 2021 version for a little bit more in this sale then I guess it's all right.
I keep getting in my head that maybe if I get a new Kindle Paperwhite (or Colorsoft this time) with the larger screen and it being less laggy in the menus then I'm more apt to actually use it. I like the idea of the Kindles but I hate using tech that is slow to respond.
The main issue is that Amazon has a proprietary ebook format (azw3) and Kindle e-readers (i.e. not the full featured Fire tablets) only natively connect with Amazon Kindle store, and doesn't directly support the open ebook format that everybody else uses (epub) or any other ebook stores. Also any books you purchase on the Kindle store are only available on Kindle readers or the Kindle app, you can't read them on Kobo e-readers for example.
If your library uses Libby/Overdrive then yes, you can connect it to your Kindle account and send books to it. The other popular options I've seen are Hoopla and CloudLibrary, which AFAIK cannot send ebooks to a Kindle.

We've had zero issue. To call it junk seems a bit disingenuous.

2021 as of today (1/6/26) it can still be hacked to remove most things as the exploit has not been patched yet. It still cannot be rooted or bootloader unlocked but the exploit and Fire Tool Box does pretty much everything you want to do on it without the hassle of flashing ROMs and breaking drivers.
