Why would you buy a broken nook?

Six broken K2s. Average purchase cost to me: $37. Five repaired at warranteed NO COST. One at $135. So spreading out the cost of that one repair over six units means that my 'average' additional cost was $22.50. So I now have (or rather had as most of them were given to friends as gifts) K2s that cost *me* $59.50 each. MUCH cheaper than buying a new one at this point.
They are fully functional so that means that to have tossed them away - or the opportunity - would have been almost criminally stupid.
And I know that Mom prefers ePub and is getting tired of her PRS-500.
Besides, you don't just sh*t-can a warranty because the original owner has sold/given the unit to someone else!

And yes, $189 for the 3G version is NOT a 'throwaway' price - at least not on *my* budget.
