Given how little Amazon is offering for the trade-in, you'd be better off selling your K2.

Yeah, those seem really low to me as well. I'd rather sell it on Craigslist.

Considering how I have only had my K3 3G for 5 months, that's really low. But if they gave half of what it cost, you could get a new one for free and I guess they wouldn't like that.
I really don't like the keyboard so I don't use it - it would have been nice to get more on a trade in because I think I would like the touch. Oh well, at least I got the K3 free from a credit card offer. |

Is Amazon kidding? I'd rather give my Kindle away to family or friends.

Maybe they want to take all the old models out of circulation and support only the current ones?

inb4 someone "accidentally" breaks their Kindle and claims settlement money from SquareTrade for their K2/K3.
