I think I may have to get one.

I have a couple of 'spare' Kindles that would get me 20% + $20 or $30 gift card. I can well imagine the display will be crisper & performance less sluggish than either the 10th gen Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite that I have, with USB-C, 5GHz WiFi, and the lighter weight are attractive relative to those two as well. I think it would be a 'spare' that I would actually use.

I was reading reviews on Amazon and there are about 4 in a row that say it is 'glitchy'. It's not clear what they mean, but I am guessing they must not have had any sort of eInk device previously and assume the relatively slow, and perceptible (compared to phone/tablet) screen refresh is a defect. Poor them.
