Given that I paid over $100 to have a kindle manga slipped via slow boat from Japan (took over a month to get to me after it was shipped, the PW4 was announced with 32 GB option after I ordered it and before I got it, unfortunately) $80 for a kindle manga from woot's a nice deal.

IMO the price for a refurb 1st gen Paperwhite is $35 too high. I had that model and would not want to read on it now after seeing the improved lighting on the Paperwhite models that came after.

Our 2nd gen Paperwhite were vastly better as far as the lighting than the blotchy looking screen that the 1st gen Paperwhite had.

If it matters to you, I believe the pw1 is guaranteed to be jailbreakable unless Amazon decides to drag "fixes" related to jailbreakability back to it. Which I doubt they will.

That said, I'm fine for my kindle needs for now.

If I remember correctly, the first generation had the Pearl screen and the second had the E-Carta. E-Carta makes a big difference. I think my Tolino Vision has basically the same screen as the 2nd generation Kindle PW. (E-Carta, 212.) I would definitely pay the extra $10 for the 2nd Generation.
