If 50 bucks = 50 USD (USA$), then that's expensive for anything older than Kindle PW3.

If you don't actually break the T2, only the battery (cell) is likely to fail.

Keep the T3. Likely better than an old Kindle 8.

China is full of cheap ereaders.
Thank you for the all the advice you've given - it means a lot. I guess i'll stick with my existing readers and refrain from buying Kindle 8) Here's to hoping that T2 lasts another ten years)

The T3 is ok by the way, it’s display is supposed to be a bit more advanced that T2's and the battery has been great so far, but the fact of the word-splitting is annoying, and the way text is displayed on my particular T3 model is somewhat upsetting, though not a deal breaker (the ink is a little duller that on the T2); other than that, it seems to be just as good as T2.

Anyway, thank again for your time and help!
