LISTEN UP! These e-readers are expected to have a moderate level of wear & tear including (but not limited to) scratches, dents, and dings. On the Amazon grading scale, they are considered "Used-Unacceptable", but we think they're pretty nice. Outside of their physical appearance, they have been tested to be in full working condition by an Amazon technician. See 'Specs' for more information

What does Scratch & Dent really mean?
We get this inventory directly from our counterparts at Amazon. When they receive returns or trade-in devices, they grade them on a scale from "Used - Like New" all the way to "Used - Unacceptable". What we've found is that their "Unacceptable" is a misnomer, and really just means it has 5 or more areas of scuffs, dents, dings, or scratches.
So my box will say 'Used - Unacceptable'? Why would I buy something that says "Unacceptable"?
The term 'Unacceptable' in the real world and 'Unacceptable' in Amazon-land mean 2 totally different things. In this sense, it's strictly an objective term for a device with 5 or more areas that are scuffed, dented, dinged, or scratched. Total. Front or Back or combined from Both. That's it. Don't believe us? Look at the pictures in the Photo Gallery. That's what Amazon's unacceptable looks like.
Fine, but what does this mean for me (the customer)?
Basically, you get to purchase a legit Amazon device for a steep discount. It may not be the newest model, and it may have some scratches character, but it has been fully tested by Amazon themselves...not some guy in their garage.
I want to give this as a gift. Can you just mark out the 'Used - Unacceptable' on mine?
We'll do you one better. We'll put a sticker over it. We can't guarantee that an annoying inquisitive person won't peel the sticker off to reveal the truth, but we tried.
Well, if you're putting a sticker over the 'Used - Unacceptable' label, why go through all of this?
We just want to be straight with you. If we got a box from someone we trust and it said "Unacceptable", we'd be hella butthurt about it. But, if you told us upfront about it and why it has to be what way, we'd be cool.
TLDR; We treat you the way we'd want to be treated.
