got my first one (Kindle Keyboard) in 2011 and it has served me well the past 12 years. it's starting to show random black spots on the screen that cover parts of the text, making it annoying to read. for the new one, i opted for the Kindle Basic. con: - i miss having the physical keyboard. i'm one who loves tactile keys and buttons. pros: - frontlight! - OpenDyslexia font! reading is so much easier and faster now! :D
