Need Advice regarding new Oasis & Amazon Trade-In

[ArthurianLegends]

My wife wants to get me the new Oasis that is coming out, as it is being released right around my birthday. Although I prefer to get a new kindle after it has gone through a few production cycles, she insists, and so if I do go for it, I would like to go for the 32 G (for audiobooks) and was wondering how the trade in actually works (perhaps someone has done it here before).

If I understand it correctly, you ship the old devices—in my case, I have a Voyage, and Keyboard in perfect condition, which adds up to 55 dollars. This does not seem like much for devices I still use, so I'm in a bit of a quandary.

Is there anything else, I'm missing on the Amazon trade-in deal that makes it more worth the effort, or should I keep these devices which I still use quite religiously —specially the Voyage.

The Voyage has a smaller form factor which might still be quite useful for portability, but if the Oasis proves to be not that much of a difference then I wonder if I will need the Voyage anymore. So I do need some advice as whether I should trade or keep.

Thanks so much.

Since the 25% offer won't be stacked, keep one of the kindles (Voyage) for backup and trade in the other one. I really liked having more than one unit - one goes in my bag so that it's there when I have unexpected waiting time at an appointment or an unplanned ER visit. I'm also more anxious to be without as I can no longer read most text in magazines, newspapers, etc. I need larger text now. I AM tempted to get the new Oasis due to the larger screen, but I need a new Itouch first. Only so much money.

Quite a few people that traded in their Voyage for a 7" Oasis wish they had kept the Voyage. Since the Voyage has been discontinued, a number of Voyage users have been buying another Voyage as a backup.

Thanks, I think I'll keep the Voyage; I did not know about the 25%: I only saw the part about selling the older kindle models. Thanks again.
