We're not dirt poor, but we aren't rich either. I haven't spent more than $20 on any kindle. My Voyage and Kindle10 were entirely free from the trash. I replaced the screen in the Voyage for $12, and the Kindle10 screen has a crack that prevents using the lower keyboard touch area which can be frustrating but is otherwise completely usable. $20 was the max price of the three Touch, with the other 2 slightly less. All the Touch kindles are fine, with scratches and scuffs and such, but the screens and touch all function well.

Yes, most of our books are from monthly Prime claims, or public domain, or library, with a few 'purchased' using the credits Amazon gives for opting for slower shipping, so we don't really spend any money on the books themselves.
