Hello, I was thinking about buying a 2nd hand Kindle but couldn't decide between buying a Kindle Keyboard (3rd generation) or a Kindle 8th Gen.

I think you can listen to audiobooks with Bluetooth earphones on Kindles that are 8th gen and above but not music (without jailbreaking). I would want to learn how good a Kindle will be for listening to music besides reading books.

I saw a post about a media player that utilizes Bluetooth audio support so I am curious. Is the sound quality will be good enough to listen to music, is that a good idea?

The 8th gen Kindle that I am thinking about seems to have 5.13.1 firmware and the serial number starts with G000 KA05 so I think it's a White Kindle Basic 2.

Thank you in advance, English isn't my first language so sorry if it's ambiguous in some parts.
