Correct. My current paperwhite is blacklisted as well though. I dont mind using KOreader + dropbox to load books.

I found a blacklisted pw3 for $14 but the screen is scratched up. The display I have now would swap in without issue software wise?

I'm just trying to decide between getting a refurbished kindle thats not blacklisted for $50 and leave it unrooted or getting that $14 blacklisted one, rooting it, and swapping in my current display.
