Through last month or so I've had problems with the device showing insufficient memory even when I have less than 20 books loaded on it. I talked with Kindle customer service and they had me do two resets followed by deregistering and reregistering the device. The last step fixed the device only temporarily. I don't want to keep deregistering the device. Also I would prefer a device with page turn buttons. I have thought about selling or trading in the PW because physically it is in good condition -- just some light surface scratches. Would Amazon accept it as a trade-in even though it seems to have a software problem?
The emmc (flash storage) has worn out or otherwise gone bad. It is not in good phyical condition, and the problem will keep getting worse until it quits working at all.

If you sell it, I hope you fully disclose its problems.
