This is an absolutely screaming deal specifically for the 64GB bundle that includes premium pen, leather folio cover, and power adapter in addition to the 64GB Scribe. Cheaper than lower grade bundles and even cheaper than the 64GB Scribe sold by itself.
The 64GB bundle is right now priced at $325.97
WIth trade-in, you get 20% off plus value of trade-in. I traded in a DX which only has a value of $5 (which is admittedly is daylight robbery) but the 20% off makes it quasi respectable. So without the trade-in value but including 20% discount, final price is about $260
All said, best deal for a scribe I've seen so far.

At this time, this is not a repost. This specific scribe bundle is better than the current 15% discount.

As annoying as it is for the Oasis to be the supposed flagship kindle device and yet not have a recent refresh, I guess I'll keep putting up with its micro-usb port and comparatively antiquated processor. That paperwhite *signature* has been tempting a couple of times, but, again, it's still more a gussied up midrange device than a premium one. I wonder if the Oasis is just in a peculiar class with too little demand for Amazon to do anything with.
If everything goes planed, here is the breakdown:
Paid $326+$26 tax=$352.
Should receive $75 gift card (from previous gen oasis) + $64 discount + $20 cashback from some site + $16 cashback from my amazon card = $175
Net is $177
7inch -> 10inch
8gb->64gb
no pen -> premium pen
great deal.

Anyone know if you get the trade-in coupon back if you cancel before it's shipped?

Yes you do get the coupon back, I just did the same thing

They are offering me $75 for my Kindle Oasis. I accepted the offer and have to ship the device in. Usually it takes about a week for them to receive the trade-in and appraise it. The 20% discount won't apply to your account till then. If the offer is not available by the time they receive the device and appraise it, I would have traded in my current kindle for nothing.
Another issue is that I'm not really sure about replacing my Kindle Oasis with the Scribe. I was holding out for the next version of the Oasis, but I'm not sure when or even if they'll release a new model. My current one still holds charge, but it's getting long in the tooth. Getting tempted by this deal, but not sure if the Scribe will make an acceptable replacement due to it's weight. Not sure how good it'll be just for reading. If I end up hating the experience I can't really get my Oasis back!
I have the Oasis 9th gen and it's 6.5 oz while this Scribe one is 15.5 oz. seems a bit bigger ad heavier for one hand holding.
"Once your trade-in is complete, an Amazon.com Gift Card equal to an appraised value of your old device(s), plus a promotional discount towards any new qualifying Kindle e-reader, will be automatically applied to your account.Promotional discount is limited to one per customer."
Just to check, I added the bundle to the cart and sure enough, at checkout page, there is no 20% coupon being applied.

I have a current model Oasis and am itching to "upgrade" it but the scribe seems like it's built for a whole different use case. Maybe if I were back in grad school or something I could justify it, but as you point out, I don't think the scribe is gonna be good for holding in one hand for reading, especially as it has no physical buttons.
