anyway, I wondered if anyone has bought a used Kindle on ebay, and if it was worth it? Are there things I should know to look for/avoid? Can you register a used Kindle?

The only reason I'm thinking about it is that I realized with what I really want in an e-reader, I probably need to go up to a bigger device, like a tablet, but I don't have the money right now for that, so I thought maybe a kindle that doesn't have everything I want would be ok if the price was right (under $100; if it's not lower than that, then why would I get a used one, right?)

Just trying to check out all my options, so any advice would be appreciated!
The risks are pretty high that the item is not legitimate, from what we've seen. But if it's a very reputable seller, then I might consider it. But frankly I haven't seen any deals that were particularly compelling, especially given the price of the Kindle with Special Offers.
