@bimini,
Sorry to hear that!
However, don’t despair!
1) There most probably will be huge deals on Amazon.com for Kindle closer to Black Friday.
2) While you wait, trade in your current one. You get a symbolic 5-10$ for the device itself, BUT you also get 20% discount on a new Kindle after that! That means 20% on ANY new Kindle, or official Kindle + cover bundles.
3) Amazon gives give multiple options to submit Kindle for Trade-In. If you submit it in Whole Foods (or other store with an Amazon Center, (
or something like this), instead of sending it with a free shipping label and waiting a week - you will get that 20% discount almost the same hour as you submit your Kindle to Trade-In in person.
4) Just in case, take 4636384 photos of your Kindle before trading it in. Chances are small, but sometimes Amazon screws up the Trade-in evaluation. With photos you have proof of what you sent that you can appeal with Amazon Customer Service.
Good luck!
