Second, the offer for a Paperwhite is between $5 to $25, so it could be (probably will be) less than $25, I'm guessing $10 to $15 -- let's say $15. That's a $47.50 discount. So you've got a Paperwhite 4 for $82.50, but you lose your Paperwhite 1.

That's why I said it depends. If one is already paying $10/mo for a KU subscription, the PW4 offer is a pretty good deal.
And nope, it's $25 for a PW1 in working condition. I was actually surprised Amazon gave the same $25 for all functional PW models. Amazon's trade-in offer ($32.50 + $25 = $57.50 total) is actually better than what you could sell it for on ebay.
Mind, I probably wouldn't make that trade if the PW1 was my only jailbroken Kindle. I rely in LibrarianSync quite heavily.
As it is, I've got:
PW2 2GB stock 5.9.x - registered with Amazon
PW3 4GB bricked
PW3 4GB JB 5.8.11 - unregistered, sideload only
PW3 32GB JB 5.8.11 - registered with Amazon
PW3 32GB JB 5.8.11 - unregistered, sideload only
I'm getting rid of the bricked PW3 this go-around. PW2 to follow next time there's a deal (25% off trade-in offer is limited to one per customer). The brick, I can't use. The PW2, I don't like using because of PPI. My minimum preferred is around 260 ppi (e.g. Kobo Aura HD). The PW2 looks a wee bit too blurry for my taste.
