I’ve had my eye on an Amazon Kindle for a while now – if it could read properly formatted PDFs (aka scripts) I’d have already made the leap. Unfortunately, that seems to be the exclusive purview of the Kindle DX – which is a cool $499.
That said, E-Ink technology is *amazing* for book junkies like myself. I used a Sony Reader for years and loved carrying dozens of books around in a device that needed recharging every few weeks.
So when I stumbled on the refurbished Kindles, I immediately threw the info up here for anyone looking to buy one who also appreciates a sweeeeeet discount.
Generation 1 Kindles are selling for $149 (original MSRP: $300+) refurbished and 2.0 is $219 (current MSRP: @249). They’re not always in stock, so check back periodically if it’s unavailable when you look. Here are links to both product pages:
