This. The trade-in value for my Kindle Touch was very minimal, but the 25% off new price on Oasis 2 irresistible. And I sold my Kindle Voyage on eBay for considerably more than the offered trade-in, so new device savings all 'round. I wanted the Kindle for testing and proofreading, but my primary reader is Kobo, so it was impossible to justify full price on the Kindle.
