The $15 (plus shipping and also duty/Tax if outside USA) is a waste of money. A second hand Sony from 2010 or later is better even than the Kindle K3, the only non-touch Kindle worth getting, or any of the Kindles before Paperwhite 2.

Got the Kindle Keyboard, size and hand feel is vastly superior to the gen 2, which is much bigger, and heftier due to the aluminum. I'd have to agree that the kindle Keyboard is the preferred, really the minimum device. I bought the Kindle 2 for myself for a display project anyway.
Kindle Keyboard is really nice in the hand I will say, was able to connect to the web and search via frogfind.net no problem, which is nice. Outdated browsers fail because of SSL keys, and I doubt there's updated keys for this browser.
Ended up reading half a Goosebumps book while testing, had one of these gen 3 devices for nearly a decade, and tbh if you can get over the lack of backlight this is like, buy it for life quality imo.
