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

Lose Yourself in Your Reading
The most elegant feature of a physical book is that it disappears while you're reading. Immersed in the author's world and ideas, you don't notice a book's glue, the stitching, or ink. Our top design objective is to make Kindle Touch disappear — just like a physical book — so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology.
Ergonomic Design
Kindle Touch is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle Touch has a new ergonomic design so it can be held comfortably however you choose to read.
Touch Controls and Virtual Keyboard
Kindle Touch features a full touchscreen display that puts page turns, navigation and note-taking at your fingertips. Tap unknown words to call up definitions in the dictionary, highlight sections of text to send to a friend, or search, shop and type with a virtual keyboard that appears on screen just when you need it and provides suggestions automatically as you type.
New Touch Experience - EasyReach
Amazon invented a new type of touch experience that eliminates the fatigue caused by continuously swiping to turn the page, and that allows readers to hold Kindle with either hand while still turning pages comfortably. With EasyReach, Kindle Touch users can effortlessly page forward in a book or a periodical while holding the device with either hand. Tapping on most of the screen area will page forward, the most common action done when reading; tapping in a narrow area near the left edge of the device turns to the previous page; and tapping on the top part of the screen brings up the toolbars for further options. This is another way that Kindle helps readers get lost in the author's world.
Never Gets Hot
Unlike a laptop, Kindle Touch never gets hot so you can read comfortably as long as you like.

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.
In the box:
- Kindle Touch [Scratch & Dent] Wi-Fi E-Reader (Includes Special Offers), 6" E-Ink Touchscreen Display, 2GB Internal Storage, 802.11n Wi-Fi - Graphite
