Kindle users encouraged to return old devices before year’s end

Owners of Kindle devices are being encouraged to return their older models to take advantage of a special discount opportunity.

If you’re not familiar with it yet, customers have the chance to trade in their old Amazon gadgets and get 20 percent off a new purchase.

Simply participate in the Amazon Trade-In Program by visiting the program’s page. This allows you to trade your used items for a 20 percent discount on new devices.

Currently, the Kindle Paperwhite is on sale, reduced from $159.99 to $134.99 for a short period. By using the Trade-In Program, you can apply an extra 20 percent discount.

$159.99

$108 (with trade-in)

For example, trading in an old Kindle could earn you up to $85 for the Amazon Kindle Scribe, up to $35 for the Kindle Oasis, and up to $30 for the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.

Along with this, you’ll also receive 20 percent off a new Kindle. This means you could obtain the latest version for only $108 when factoring in the trade-in discount.

Although the program doesn’t have a time limit, it’s recommended to send your old device promptly to benefit from the Kindle Paperwhite discount, which is available for a limited time (processing returns can take up to 10 business days).

The Trade-In Program covers a wide variety of Amazon devices. To participate, select what you want to trade in, provide details about the device to Amazon, and mail it.

If your trade-in is accepted, you will receive its value as an Amazon voucher.

Plus, you will get 20 percent off on a new Amazon device, depending on what you trade in. For instance, trading in an old Echo Dot might allow you to purchase a newer model. Have a Fire Stick at home? Exchange it for the new Fire TV Stick 4K Select.
