Don't forget the 20% off when sending in an old kindle.
Just bought this deal a couple of days ago sending in my $15 Kindle I bought of of mercari for the 20% off. Seems like a great deal but I'll see about the functionality when it arrives. Not really an amazon fan and was trying to decide between this or the Kobo elipsa 2 but for $210 I couldn't resist.
I see in the terms that they would retract the gift balance for the value of the trade-in device, but will Amazon also charge back the 20% if say you got the trade-in discount but never sent a device?

Been wanting one of these and I think this is one of the better prices I have seen that still qualifies for the 20% off. The new trade in is kinda weird, but it sounds like you pay full price now and they refund the 20% when you send your old kindle in. Seems straightforward. I have a really old kindle that is literally collecting dust so it's a no brainer trade in for me.

Is this backlit like the paperwhite?

edit: nevermind I see that it does have the paperwhite screen but I feel like a device of this size and price should have a micro sd slot. Missed opportunity

I am curious- aside from the quality, is this the best price? There were previous prime day deals that were about the same price (235) for a brand new one, and there were the qvc deal as well a while back that was even better. Moreover- although this is like new, it is a used product. Maybe I am missing something?
I think the price for new one (version 2024) was 325, not 235. Also, if you have an old device to trade in, this deal may be better than QVC a few month ago. I'm not sure about QVC deal but this one has Premium pen.

Just FYI, lots of devices qualify for the 20%. Intuitively leave a Kindle take a Kindle makes sense, but you may be able to offload some cheaper device (potentially even snag something cheap off Facebook marketplace) to get that same 20% discount. Could always gift old kindle to someone else or sell it on eBay.

For example Echo dot qualifies for me. I paid maybe $20 for this some time ago and never used it after first day

That's true. This is a Kindle HD from like 2018... slow as a dog. Fire TV units quality too, those have to be cheap on the secondary market

I believe so. There's a button on the product page that lets you check trade in for 20%. Quite a few things qualify

Just SYK - this is the 2022 first-generation Scribe, not the updated 2024 version.

However, 2022 and 2024 have same internals, the key difference is the pen. 2024 comes stock with a more advanced pen which has a button and an upgraded (more realistic) eraser.
