This had only been used a handful of times, purchased this summer. I just don’t reach for it as often as my paperbacks. It’s in pristine condition, no scratches or dings; has been in a case as long as I’ve had it. I’ve lost the charger it came with but am substituting with an Otterbox USB-C charging cord I got to replace we the other. It’s extra long and brand new. Are you in your Kindle Era? 😉 Feel free to ask questions!
