You can pick up another (used) Kindle 3 for about $30 on Amazon (sold through Amazon Warehouse) and eligible for Prime Shipping.

You can also find them pretty cheap on eBay or Shop Goodwill now.

I'm guessing your old one has a bad battery ... and it's not too hard to replace those on the Kindle 3 either.

YouTube video on how to do it ... (this company also sells the battery)
