What would be a cheap 6in Kindle to get just for testing .mobi book layout?

I am helping a non-profit convert some of their books into Kindle versions and a need has arisen for a 6 inch Kindle to test them.

I wouldn't mind getting Voyage but I am still very happy with my iRiver HD and also use my Kindle DX from time to time warts and all.

Also, how is it would it be to sideload .mobi files on Voyage ? That is can i just plug in USB and copy like on my Kindle DX?

So, I would rather not spend $79 for a regular Kindle with offers: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Glare-F...dp/B00I15SB16/

However, on eBay pretty much anything under $50 is with a broken screen and uncertain provenance.

So are there perhaps some woot / slickdeals like deals for older Kindle's with some sort of warranty?
