I've got an old Kindle 4th gen which was gifted to me from a family member. I made a point to never connect it to my WiFi, it's permanently on airplane mode.</p> \n\n<p>Maybe look into sourcing a second hand Kindle. I can vouch for the earlier gens, then again I haven't updated the firmware to the latest version.</p>\n\n<p>How can e-ink go bad after a software update? Isn't a static image drawn to the e-ink display?</p> "
