    I have a Paperwhite 2015 version that I got back in 2016 for only $30 when they had a big sale on them to unload for their new version. Looks like on eBay that 2015 version goes for $30-50 today.

    I transfer books to it via a USB using Calibre. It doesn’t need nor do I connect it to WiFi. Newer models might also be able to work via USB only, I don’t know, but I know my 2015 works that way.

      True,you dont need daily connection to an ebook server. I’m using an old kindle but I wish i could sync my progress across multiple devices without amazon.
