I like obsolete. When most new book titles are no longer being released in paper, I'll probably appreciate PB's better

It's a judgment call. I did think of this when low prices appeared Thanksgiving week, but only purchased as gifts.

There are a few computer-type items -- certain Palm models -- which sell for more, in excellent condition, today, than when they were new. But, in most cases, computer-type items go down in price when no longer manufactured. The Kindle 2nd Generation is now selling in like-new condition, at amazon.com, for around $105 with shipping. So I'm taking the risk that when the marketplace thinks eInk readers are obsolete, I'll be able to get a replacement for alot less than I paid for the one I have now (K3 3G purchased in 2010).
