Messed Up Template

[edit]

The original template looks quite messed up. It's not grouped by product lines properly, has redundancies, and the names are not accurate. I'm proposing the following alternative:

If there are no objections, I will change to the alternative in a few days. -- ADTC Talk Ctrb . 19:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As no objections or suggestions were raised, I'm now going to change the template to the proposed alternative. -- ADTC Talk Ctrb . 21:57, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is still a lot of confusion (e.g. on eBay) about which generation / model is which. I have tried to add model and generation info for Kindle monochrome models from Amazon's mostly correct page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/help/id=201263790 I would also like to add serial numbers as a way of identifying them - except I don't know if that is the right place: most models have one or two serial number, but the Paperwight seems to have about 20.

I disagree on including model numbers, because I can not find a good reference that gives the numbers. Here is something someone else wrote a few years ago about the first four numbers that seems to be correct, although missing newer models --Frmorrison (talk) 15:27, 20 November 2017 (UTC):[reply]
