Our Verdict
The trade in values kind of suck, it seems they are offering $5-$25, with $25 being offered for Kindle paperwhites. I have been wanting to upgrade to the Oasis from my paperwhite since it was released, although after reading some additional reviews for this post I think I have cooled on that idea a bit. Either way it’s currently full price, under this promotion I’d get $25 off for my paperwhite and 25% off as well ($62.5) that basically values my paperwhite at $87.50. All things considered that’s pretty good and I could probably do better by just buying an unused Kindle for cheap and then offloading my paperwhite but that seems like a lot of work.
This deal will get a lot more interesting if/when Amazon also has a sale on Kindle’s, bringing the price down. It looks like the 25% discount should apply to any price they are currently charging. I’d love to hear from any readers that have an Oasis, is it worth the upgrade or am I just chasing the newest thing?
