I know there are always a ton of posts about e-readers, and I may be totally overthinking this but... I have almost exclusively purchased refurbished/second hand tech for a few years now. My phone is ancient, my laptop and headphones are all refurbished tech etc. So I really want an e-reader and am considering the Kobo. But does anyone know how frequently the refurbished options become available?? I've been waiting for a while but nothing is coming up, and I feel hesitant about ebay sellers because all I've seen so far are sellers who clearly regularly sell brand new in box tech, which doesn't feel second hand to me... it feels like buying new from an extra middleman.

So I got some money from watching my dad's dog recently and I don't know if I should be trying so hard to avoid just buying the Kobo, or like, how much longer should I wait for their refurbished options to show up?? (I wanted one for my birthday so we've had notifications on for over a month now) Maybe I am just being impatient but my other problem too is if I am being too picky about ebay sellers or not LOL am I being overly ridiculous on that or idk. I just don't know if saving $20 is worth it if it's supposedly brand new in box or if I should just buy it new. Or if I am being too morally rigid on being hesitant to buy new. Someone help!!!

Learning about William Dorsey Swan for the first time in a book about Harriet Tubman coming back and wanting to make an album is wild, but I love this.
