Tho, again, why anyone would buy a USED kindle with books they can download with just a little research for free......
Instead of buying a NEW Kindle and getting them themselves, (IF they choose to) is the question.

Guess there is one born every minute.
I understand what you are saying, but still, it is a USED Kindle with a definite cosmetic blemish, so I don't see how she can expect to get more than retail price for it - especially, as you point out, the books can be easily obtained elsewhere. Oh well!

I am also astonished that she chose to post this thread here on Mobileread. She obviously is not very familiar with the folks on this site or she would have known the outrage she would stir up - or maybe she just likes to poke a hornets' nest and see what results!
