I *might* upgrade to the signature edition, depending on how the size of the entire device compares to that of a PW4, it's plausible you could fit a 6.8" 4:3 screen (5.4"x4.1") into the same 6.6"x4.6" footprint of the PW4. Especially if there's a non-cellular signature edition.
But almost certainly not at full price. |

While I'm not in the market for those new Paperwhites, having a perfectly working Oasis, I'm glad Amazon continues to develop their eink readers. And it's great for the folks who want a bit larger screen and warm light, but don't want to cough up the Oasis price and/or aren't interested in buttons.

BTW, I'm not in the market for a new Paperwhite either. Now, if it had been a Voyage II, with buttons and a warm light... |

I wonder why they abandoned their Voyage line after the first model. Not that I'm complaining, as I like the Oasis shape and buttons much more. But still, inquisitive minds would want to know and all... No reader I've ever used has had as good a screen as the Voyage had. |

Something is messed up with the Trade-in credit: it lists my PW4s as ‘up to $30’, but when I say they work and are undamaged, it changes the offer to $5. What would it take to get $30?

And supposedly it's now listed on Amazon India. I suspect Amazon gave up on keeping this new Kindle a secret. https://reddit.com/r/kindle/comments...e_preorded_it/ |

Trade ins are rarely worth it unless you are a hermit with no relatives or friends.

It's not messed up. Choose the second option of you not having to accept the accessed value. It switches to $30 once you submit. I'm sure if it looks new and operates you will get at least $20.

I’ll give that a go, but I don’t remember it being this way before. Anyway, I’m going to try and trade in an older Kindle, even if it is only $10.

My relatives and friends have already been so bequeathed with fairly recent Kindles. I may be able to trade one of them up to a PW4, but one way or another I want the 20% off and whatever change I can get.

For those who don't have an old Kindle to trade in, might be worth checking local thrift stores, just in case you can find a cheap one to get the discount. Or asking family members/friends if they have one sitting around unused they'd like to get rid of. |
