For Friday 10/16/20 at the Woot website they have a sale of Samsung monitors at the main Woot and old Kindle e-readers at Woot Sellout, with a very good deal being the Kindle Voyage e-reader in USED/refurbished condition from $48 to $50. This is a model with physical programmable page turn buttons on each side. I haz this very model and I’m using it daily these days [because READING is FUN-DA-MENTAL], it is holding up pretty well even when I send a boatload of Kindle samples and online articles to it daily (within reason of course). It has a touchscreen, built-in light, 4GB on-board storage (some of it is eaten up by the Kindle OS and such), Wifi-only, micro-USB charging, plenty of cheap cases available,300ppi display, annoying Goodreads button at the top of the page (if you don’t care for Goodreads it takes up valuable space that could have gone to a feature you use more often), etc…

+ Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus (2m base and 1m extension, non bluetooth) kit for $70
