I'm looking to replace a broken screen on an otherwise functioning Kindle 3, and have been looking up Ebay / Aliexpress for replacement screens, which are priced around the $30 ~ $40 mark.

I haven't seen anything about "genuine" Amazon screens, so I've no idea as to their cost or if they even exist still. My question really is whether anyone has done this, and whether the resolution on these Ebay/Aliexpress screens was okay?

There's plenty of Youtube advice on the process so I'm not concerned about doing it, but any useful tips greatly appreciated.
