It is nothing new that Amazon wants to revamp user e-books to sell more eReaders and more ebooks, something it is doing with eReader recycling programs or one-off offers. The latest news from Amazon is a one-off offer but with a limitation date of December 31, 2016, that is, we do not have to rush for it.
And the offer, although it is becoming a custom, in this specific case is interesting because Amazon will even buy you your broken Kindle, that is, we can renew or buy an eReader more economically if we deliver the useless device.
The offer is made through the Amazon Trade-In program, something negative since in many countries where Amazon is, Trade-In cannot work. In any case, at Amazon.com it does work and it can be done through it. Once we have selected the eReader we sell and its conditions, Amazon will add us to our account the money of the device that you buy from us and we will have a discount coupon of 20 dollars if we buy an eReader. Up to a total of $ 65 off.
Kindle Oasis cannot be bought for a broken Kindle, but the rest of the models can
Unfortunately in this offer the Kindle Oasis does not enter, so that users who thought to acquire a high-end eReader for a reasonable price, will not be able to do so. But, still, we can get a Kindle Paperwhite or a Kindle Voyage for an interesting price and even the latest basic Kindle in a totally free way if we deliver an eReader that works.
The truth is that it is still one more way that Amazon has to spread its eReaders and attract more customers for its online book store, but I have to admit that it is also a way to promote ebooks among users, because surely that There are many broken eReaders, not only through friends but also on Ebay and that can lead to new users having eReaders for the first time. In any case, Amazon also believes that it will be a great offer since the use of these coupons and discounts is limited to 5 per account, that is, we will not be able to sell more than five eReaders with the same account, something that will annoy many Do not you think?
The vast majority of Amazon offers are only available in the USA and this is no exception. It does not affect us.
