FWIW, I bought a Kindle 10 (where was 9?) at the Prime sale. $22 after all the discounts and trade ins. Love it. It will be my new take-a-long unit. Due to lighting changes at many doctor's office, I felt it was time to spring for it. If I drop it on concrete or at the ER, I'm only out $22 and won't feel nearly as bad as I would a PW. There have been a lot of complaints about dead pixels or cone lighting on the new PW and I just didn't want the hassle. I only need the lighting as back up, not as a main use. Also works with Audible which is useful at the ER where I often hang out for many hours awaiting test results.
