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.

Nib replacement will cost a lot than books that can replace.
Maybe that's why they clearing them out?
The Details: I initiated the trade in just before purchasing 03/25. The trade in screen said the 20% discount would be applied instantly (I have a screen shot). However, it was not applied, and I went through with the purchase to deal with it later.
I shipped the trade in and it was received and approved yesterday (20% plus $30 gift card).
I waited until after they approved it to contact them as that is what some previous messages here suggested
When I called the CSR said she could not apply the discount retroactively and a "team" would get in touch with me in 1-4 days.
So, not yet rejected, but not an automatic one call fix as I had hoped. I can always return it I guess and wait to apply the discount to the next sale.
I'm curious about the case. I haven't opened any of my items yet, and am curious to the reality of the case. Did you open it and try it? I've searched out a lot of cases, and this official Kindle one is the lightest available, of cases that fully cover the device; that's an important factor being this is the heaviest Kindle.

I did try the case out and didn't like it, especially for the price of $44 after 20% trade in discount. You can open it and try for yourself and still can return it for a full refund. I ended up paying $12/ea for 2 different cases ...

The clear case actually covers the gaps, except the right side because of the pen holder. It's really light, though doesn't protect the screen.
The other case weighs about the same as the official case, maybe a little heavier, but I like the notebook opening design vs top folding design. I intend to use this case when travel, while the clear case for home.

I'm actually tempted to grab one of these or something similar. The case is thin enough that the pen would still attach to the side according to reviews. It seems that it would cover the gaps all around.

It was all done online in the return process form, took less than a minute. I kept the case because I actually like it and I am sure they will want you to send that back but the charger they just let me keep it plus issued a credit to my account. YMMV
