I have in my drawer five(5)Kindles. None of them work. Neither does the last one I bought.

 In a triumph of hope over experience I ordered my sixth Kindle.  None of them worked very well, but the new acquisition does not work at all.  So now I have six Kindles, none of them good for anything.   Would Amazon accept them in exchange for something useful?  That's not how capitalism works, Virginia.

So now I must choose other sources to satisfy my need for something, anything, to read.  The local library is too far uphill for me to use while breathing.  Barnes & Noble sometimes has something I haven't read. My best source, however, is the local Good Will.  I have found some good books there, along with lots of dreck.

Actually, Amazon does just that: exchanged my old Paperwhite for a newer model and gave me a discount of ~20%. With a disclaimer that the old model should be operational.

Nothing wrong with new one, as far as I can see. It's lighter than the previous, has better light control and larger memory capacity.
Try going to Today Deals -> Amazon devices and monitor for Kindle deals. It took me couple of weeks until I spotted a Paperwhite deal.
