Trade in Your Old Kindle and Save: Amazon Launches New Models with Exciting Features
Amazon is offering an enticing deal: trade in your old Kindle and upgrade to a superior model at a reduced price. With several new Kindle devices set to hit the shelves, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the company’s trade-in program, which offers discounts when you hand in your current device.
New Releases: Faster, Sleeker, and Colorful
Amazon has just unveiled four new additions to its popular Kindle lineup. This latest update caters to all kinds of readers, from casual to dedicated e-book enthusiasts. The entry-level Kindle now features a speed boost and arrives in a stylish new Matcha (green) color. For fans of the Kindle Scribe, there’s good news: it has received a significant upgrade, boasting a sleek white bezel and a screen that feels more like writing on paper, improving its use with the included stylus.
Introducing Kindle Colorsoft: A Game-Changer for E-Readers
One of the most exciting releases is the Kindle Colorsoft, which offers a groundbreaking feature for Kindle users: a full-color display. For the first time ever, you’ll be able to enjoy book covers in vibrant color and see images as they were meant to be viewed. This will appeal particularly to those who read graphic novels, art books, or children’s literature, all of which benefit from the color enhancement.
Enhanced Features and Cutting-Edge Technology
In addition to the new color display, Amazon says the Colorsoft includes advanced technology, such as a light-guide with nitride LEDs and custom algorithms that boost both brightness and color without sacrificing clarity. You’ll also be able to annotate books with colored highlights, making it easier to organize notes.
The Colorsoft comes with wireless charging, an 8-week battery life, and it’s waterproof—ideal for reading at the beach or in the bath without worrying about damaging the device.
A Better Kindle Paperwhite
The Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon’s best-selling e-reader, also gets an impressive upgrade. It’s now 25 percent faster than before and sports a larger 7-inch display, making it more enjoyable for extended reading sessions.
Take Advantage of Amazon’s Trade-In Program
If any of these new features sound appealing, there’s even more good news: Amazon is offering 20 percent off the retail price of these new devices when you trade in your old Kindle. This could lower the cost of the Colorsoft from £259.99 to just under £220, while the Kindle Scribe’s price drops from £379.99 to under £310.

How Does the Trade-In Program Work?
Amazon’s trade-in program is simple: you send in your old Kindle, and after it’s evaluated, you’ll receive a gift card and a 20 percent discount on the purchase of a new model. According to Amazon, most eligible devices receive a credit within 10 days, and you can use the gift card to purchase anything on the site, not just Kindle-related items.
Whether you’re upgrading from an older model or are new to e-readers, this trade-in offer provides a cost-effective way to enjoy Amazon’s latest technology while minimizing electronic waste.
