Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am going to state here my experience with many products on Amazon. Some other reviews for certified refurbished products have said Amazon just gives them a defective model. I have had this happen to me before and I can say it is quite frustrating. I mean you pay for a product that Amazon just doesn't want. But in my experience it is a hit or miss scenario. I still purchase Certified Refurbished items because if it doesn't work you can just return it and either spend more and get a new one or but another Certified Refurbished. Okay that ends my little talk on Certified Refurbished now on the the Kindle So I had been planning on purchasing a Kindle Paperwhite on prime day for weeks and when the day came I saw that it was $90 which I was willing to spend but i thought I might look around a bit before I bought it. I eventually found the Certified Refurbished base model Kindle for $40 so I chose that instead and really I'm not disappointed. I would've liked the backlight and higher resolution but they aren't necessary, especially the resolution. The back light would also make the kindle act less like a book but I would've liked it, that is until I received the base Kindle. It acts exactly like a book and is easy to read and use. The text is clear and it has all the features of higher models making it a good choice if you are on the edge and want to save about $40. Overall it is a very good product and I can't wait to use it more and more.
