I can get a Kindle 8 for 50 bucks. I've also forgotten to mention that i already own two Sony's - Prs T2 and T3 and they work just fine (on T2, for instance, the battery holds up for two weeks of around 45 minutes of reading each day - been using it for 10 years; i got T3 about ten days ago and i don't really see much difference from T2...maybe the battery is a bit better, but all in all i seem to like it even less than the previous model - T3 keep using hyphens to divide words at the end of the lines, and it's somewhat frustrating - T2 never acted this way).

I'm kinda strapped for cash and don't really want to shell out much for an e reader, so i wanted to keep T2 for myself, sell the other one and buy this supposedly new Kindle 8 instead. Do you think it's a foolish plan and i should keep using the Sony if there's nothing wrong with it?

Thank you!
