Yeah, I hear you. The base Kindle (without a backlight can be found for around $50 or less, I think). The Paperwhite (with backlight) occasionally goes on sale for $89 if I remember right. It’s been awhile since I checked prices though. Electronic books grossed me out until I saw the Paperwhite. I still prefer print, but also enjoy the portability of the Paperwhite and the text is beautifully rendered on a matte screen (plus, the ability to pirate books you can’t afford is nice. Please forgive me authors. I know it’s abhorent. But my admittedly self-serving excuse is that I only do it if I can’t get it at the library and don’t have the muns to buy it).
Edit: I was talking ‘new’ prices. Sounds like @deedub knows the score.
