    Heads up to anyone thinking of cancelling the trade in and keeping the 20%. From the Trade-in T&Cs:

    "If you selected to receive the Gift Card immediately and received a promotional discount toward the purchase of a new Amazon device and (i) you cancel the trade-in, (ii) your trade-in is not received within 35 calendar days, or (iii) your trade-in is a Rejected Item, then you authorize us to charge your payment method for the amount of the promotional discount used."

    Any limitation on this if Adult decides to use it (e.g. no adult profile/books available? Thanks
    Dara_Blennerhassett's avatar
    You have to set it up as a kids profile, then you sign out of it in the settings and it's the same as a regular kindle

    Went to FB market place, bought an old kindle (model no. D01100) for £10, this in turn has got me a £15 trade in voucher and 20% off! Checkout £46.99! What a deal!
    Professor_Chaos's avatar
    Yikes

    Brilliant

    Do you get the trade in as credit vouchers or do you get it knocked off the price?
  4. jsmooth1uk's avatar
    I've got a gen1 kindle, amazon give £10 for that and the 20% ended up costing me £52!
    Animons's avatar
    How did you get your gen1 kindle traded in? When I checked, it seems they are only accepting kindles gen 3 or later for trade in
  5. lfcjohn's avatar
    Just update as my trade-in kindle is finally arrived at Amazon, I got the £20 gift card and 20% discount, and to my surprise, the 20% discount is for listed price before discount (i.e. £140 x 0.2 = £28, turn out it's 89.98 - 28 - 61.98 for kindle paperwhite kids and with £20 gift card it is £41.98!!
  6. bluezero's avatar
    For a causal reader...this or the paperwhite signature? Is the front light used much if you're not reading in the dark?
    amillstone's avatar
    Definitely this one.

    The Signature Edition has more storage but since ebooks take up such little space, the 8 GB on this one won't be an issue (I have about 400 books on mine and still have >5 GB left). If you plan to read manga or comics though, the Signature might be better for you.

    It has a couple of extra features (noted above by another commenter) but none that make it worth the additional cost in my opinion.
  7. Gorskar's avatar
    Awesome price, and the "kids" kindle package is definitely the one to go for, with the
    * free case
    * 2 yr warranty including accident damage
    * no adds (a £10 extra on standard kindles)

    You also get a 1yr kids+ subscription, but that's probably of no interest to adults.

    But overall fantastic package, and fantastic price!
    Janzi's avatar
    Can adult profiles enjoy kids benefits ? or do i need to have a kids profile on the device
  8. Ouzoherb's avatar
    I've cancelled a trade in before after purchase and still got to keep the 20% discount
  9. norbert7455's avatar
    What will happen if I won’t send anything to trade in? It took £10 ‘deposit’ that was used for gift card
    Professor_Chaos's avatar
    according to earlier posts, you lose the tenner but keep discount.

    Worth waiting for Amazon day on the 11th?

    My wife and I have separate Amazon accounts and have separate purchases of books. The wife has Amazon unlimited as well. Is there amy way we could share a kindle i.e. both have our books on the same device? Thanks (edited)
    StealMySoda's avatar
    You'd have to share your library as "family" that way you could access each others books. One would have to be the "main" account on the device, but it should work in theory. There are some details here:

    So I'm looking for a kindle for my almost 13 year old daughter for Christmas....this looks a better deal than the normal paperwhite.....does this arrive in packaging for younger kids? Anyone got a picture of the box please?

    I downloaded books (not from Amazon, from torrents) years ago for my old kindle, can I copy these across to this one?
    f1p's avatar
    it used to need conversion to .mobi format but i think Kindle now supports ePub now.
  14. sidesey's avatar
    Thanks very much OP. Traded in a 2019 kids kindle and gave me a tenner off plus the extra 20%. Paid £53 and the old one cost me £55. This is water proof, usb c, has better resolution and. A slightly bigger screen and a new 2 year warranty. Want to really keep the old one but if I cancel somewhat worried I won’t get the extra 20% off. Saw one post on here saying it worked but anyone else had success? Cheers
    bobjohnson's avatar
    I'll cancel my trade in tomorrow when it arrives and see what happens. FWIW the trade in label email states "Rejected items will be returned at no delivery cost. You will be charged for the instant gift card amount that you received." which seems to confirm it's just the gift card amount you have to pay then
  15. Dobow2's avatar
    For those of you who were succesful, did you have the Kindle associated with your account? Or did you manually search for the kindle to add it for trade in? My kindle is on my main account. I'm using a different account that has Prime on it.
    joyost's avatar
    I manually searched using the model number.
  16. bobjohnson's avatar
    Just to confirm if you had the auto discount you don't lose the 20% off when you cancel your trade in. My trade in account mentioned the 20% off but only charged me the gift card trade in value when cancelling the trade in, so cost £61.99. Brilliant deal
    50540990-VpO1N.jpg50540990-Bg8p6.jpg
    jj247's avatar
    I'm tempted to do this too. Can you upload a screenshot that shows the "Your active Trade-in promotion. 20% off a new qualifying Kindle" still being there after cancelling?
  17. NickelQwerty's avatar
    My 20% trade in discount did not apply

    I spoke to Amazon customer service and they agreed to backdate me 20% discount as credit once the kindle arrives

    I have a feeling they are going to try and tell me they won't do it as I bought the kindle "on sale"

    Has anybody by any chance got a screenshot

    Of their basket with the 20% trade in discount applied (please blurr out any personal info.)

    Just so I can use it as evidence to get my credit back paid

    I would very much appreciate it
    bobjohnson's avatar
    Not sure it'll help you much as it doesn't differentiate 20% off vs the prime day discount (it's all lumped in as "Promotion Applied"), and you're probably best off just being persistent via live chat, but here you go
    50557899-40Guc.jpg (edited)
  18. HottyHotty's avatar
    Seen a few people commenting on this, but I have no idea how to get the 20% upfront.

    - I click trade in, choose device Etc and it accepts it
    - Then I click buy now
    - Then at checkout it doesn't show the 20% off

    I realise I could go through CS, but ideally I'm looking to get the 20% then cancel my trade-in which I know is a risk. Am I doing things in the right order?
    username23452's avatar
    When I had this I went here when logged in amazon.co.uk/tra…tus

    Remove any open trade in's and clear basket.

    On the Kindle page for the item you want, click the 20% trade in link

    Now add your device or kindle/(kids pink cover one for example £10)

    After you added it and said yes it works no damage and click to confirm the trade

    It should show "contacting your bank" via your payment method to add the pre approved credit.

    Once it say ok you click continue shopping, add to basket and go to checkout.

    You want to see the £78 promotion bring the device to £61.99 before your trade in discount is applied.

    One theory for people not getting the credit on checkout is their payment method cannot be pre approved to charge if they cancel? (edited)
  19. 2sheds's avatar
    This whole offer appears a bit hit and miss for people.

    I went to the Amazon website directly and the Kindle Paperwhite Kids 8gb with case, trade in and gift card offer shows as 'currently unavailable'. However when you use the link provided by the OP in the original post, it takes you to a page that shows it available for the offer price of £89.99.

    I used my daughters Prime account and searched for my old Kindle model, which had a gift card value of £15. Went through the trade-in process and the discounts showed immediately in my basket, with a final price of £46.99. This is an excellent price and it accepted my order with a delivery date of Friday 14th.

    My daughter then checked her emails and saw that she had received three separate emails from Amazon. The first was the expected trade-in label, the second was an email stating the following (this is copy and pasted by the way, so you can see the very poor way it is written.) It looks like two different responses melted into one email... almost scam-like to be honest!!

    "A 20% promotional credit toward a new qualifying Kindle device is now available in your Amazon account. The credit will be applied automatiUnfortunately, we were not able to accept your device for trade in and this transaction no longer qualifies for a 20% promotional credit toward a new qualifying Kindle device. cally once you shop for and add the qualifying device to your cart."

    The third email was an order confirmation for £46.99.

    So, I am hoping this all goes through OK and I get my bargain priced Kindle, but I am half expecting some sort of cancellation email. All a bit haphazard from Amazon, but thanks to the OP for the post and link!
    HottyHotty's avatar
    I've just done the same and it comes up as available, it's only the emerald case version that's unavailable, where as the black and robot dreams version (which this page links to) are still available.

    So I think you're unlikely to get a cancellation but yeah this is a strange deal reading the comments!
  20. Professor_Chaos's avatar
    Odd question this but I got the kindle charging cable mixed up with another one I have

    does the kindle one look like this in the picture ?50613748-hv0ow.jpg
    fsheehan's avatar
    Yup, checked mine and can confirm that's the one provided with the Kindle. If you turn it over it should also have some letters and numbers etched into the silver part of the connector. Hope that helps!
  21. Morby's avatar
    I'm tempted to go for this but how likely is it that Amazon will be bringing out a new Paperwhite next year?

    I think this one came out October 21, how often do they refresh them on average?
    bozo007's avatar
    Even if they do, it won't be as cheap. Unlike phones or computers, the latest technology is not a critical requirement for a Kindle.
  22. my-planet's avatar
    Dammit! Amazing deal. I was hoping to hold out for a new version hopefully coming this year. But might have to bite at this!
    ministrymason's avatar
    Suprised this isn't hotter. With the 20% off its a bargain
  23. BodisBest's avatar
    Great price for a top piece of kit.
    Paid a fair bit more a few months ago. Well worth getting.
  24. bobjohnson's avatar
    Just ordered with the trade in and it took 20% off automatically at checkout for me - so hopefully £56.99 + the £5 trade in i'll be charged for not actually returning anything.
    Thanks OP (and those who mentioned 20% off still works when you don't trade anything!) (edited)
    Professor_Chaos's avatar
    Ooh. Thanks for confirming. I wonder what they'll do if you don't actually send anythign! (edited)
  25. someone-sw's avatar
    how is everyone getting the 20% off straight away? It's telling me I have to send the kindle in first.
  26. Professor_Chaos's avatar
    This is probably the amazon day offer

    Can you still sideload epub on this (edited)
    Alex_K123's avatar
    yeah you can, even via kindle app on your phone or via calibre on desktops, I do it all the time
  27. Rapture124's avatar
    I didn't have a kindle to trade in for the 20% off but for the price I still went for this. I was going to wait for the 16gb paperwhite but this thread made me realise they are the same device, just less storage, which I won't need. Thank you HUKD community
    ministrymason's avatar
    You could of added a kindle to trade in. Use the 20% off. But don’t send a kindle.
  28. Shakattack's avatar
    Thank you for posting this deal. I was looking at kindles but they seemed a bit expensive. My daughter will be very happy.
  29. Dale_Turner's avatar
    Can the kids unlimited be transferred to my daughters kindle if I get this for me or would I have to keep it unregistered until September when hers runs out and swap with her for her to have full 12 months? With the trade in discount and her renewal coming up it could work out stupidly cheap for me to upgrade mine
  30. 123sonny123's avatar
    Great device! Really happy with it. Very minor niggle is no auto brightness that my previous Kindle had, but it's no biggie at all
  31. PhilGB's avatar
    Awesome deal! £41.99 to upgrade my 2013 paper white and I get Amazon kids + for 12 months. What’s not to like. Thanks!
    NickelQwerty's avatar
    Hi PhilGB did you manage to get the 20% kindle trade in discount to apply in your basket I could not do it

    Amazon told me to contact them once the kindle arrives and they will give me the credit back

    I am not sure they will honour it
  32. NickelQwerty's avatar
    I already had a kindle trade in 20% voucher that wasn't showing I got an email from Amazon CS to say it's still valid

    I received the kindle this morning armed with the screen shots of HUKDers who got the kindle trade in discount to stack with prime sale price

    CS told me the voucher and sale prices don't stack 3 times

    I sent the screen shot and was first offered £15 then £18 credit

    Not the £28 credit that alot of people got for raising a new trade in but more than I would have got without complaint.

    All in all I got the kindle for £57 but had to use a £15 prime day coupon

    But I did pay £8.99 to sign up to prime again to get the deal


    In future I will not trade a kindle in before prime as that seems to void the deal (without considerable haggling)
  33. Embop39's avatar
    Received my new kindle and I love it!! I was feeling really sentimental about trading my old one as it was a gift from my brother, but I like the new one so much that it’s definitely worth it. Thanks OP, really chuffed with it!
  34. whatever76's avatar
    Still well chuffed with this deal which I only paid £36.99 for. Sent in 2 old kindles, both processed as per order. I think this new Kindle is less bright than my old 7th generation paperwhite but the larger screen makes up for it, really good for reading!
    Professor_Chaos's avatar
    I’m chuffed too. I think I paid maybe a fiver more I think but I don’t make use of the kindle as much as I’d like to

    need To pry myself away from the mobile phone 
  35. MrFizzy's avatar
    Got the confirmation that my Kindle is received, but it doesn’t make much sense -

    “A 20% promotional credit toward a new qualifying Kindle device is now available in your Amazon account. The credit will be applied automatiUnfortunately, we were not able to accept your device for trade in and this transaction no longer qualifies for a 20% promotional credit toward a new qualifying Kindle device. cally once you shop for and add the qualifying device to your cart.“


    Seems they have joined the accepted and rejected messages together!
    HottyHotty's avatar
    Just a bug as i got my tradein confirmed and accepted, but also had the 'unfortunately...' bit tacked onto the end of the message.

    I doubt it will get cheaper and may even sell out

    Amazon usually have their own tech on early deals and they sell out by the big day

    Could buy now and return it if it gets cheaper
