It was for me and since I had to pay for shipping to Mexico and import taxes mine cost more than $79. When I got my K3, I would push the page buttons too hard. Now, my K3 has page buttons that miss 20% of the time and have to be pushed twice. I used that to justify buying the new Kindle.

That said, if I'd had a chance to play with the Kindle Basic and my older K3 were working perfectly I would still have gotten the Kindle Basic just for the much more convenient, for me, on-screen keyboard.
