Unit arrived today, Saturday. Front of unit looks totally new. Back polished area has several very small diameter roundish scratch marks that are quite shallow. Hard to even see without magnification and a bright light. Packed in a standard refurbished Kindle brown cardboard box. Not sure of original status but the box seal says "Unacceptable" which to me would indicate that it probably failed the maker's cosmetic inspection due to the noted marks on the back so was never sold as a new unit. Marks totally invisible once installed in a case.
Firmware as received was 5.12.1. Once WiFi enabled and unit registered it updated to 5.12.4. Fully functional and no problem with registration. Does have advertising so I need to decide whether or not to pay the removal fee. Battery was low enough so had to charge unit before it wold even turn on. Turned on at 8% charge. Overall a excellent buy IMO for $65 including tax and shipping.
