Original Paperwhite to Latest Paperwhite
I see there is a one day sale going on for the Paperwhite and it's 89.99 on Amazon today only. I see the trade in program I can get $25 for my original Paperwhite and a 25% coupon for a new one. Does anybody know if you go through the process of the trade in do you get the coupon right away?
Also, is it worth it to upgrade from the original to the latest Paperwhite? I've had no issues with my original. |

I don't know anything about Amazon's pricing policy, but a new one will have a better screen, and a new battery. Batteries don't last forever, and it sounds like yours is old enough that it might be of some concern for you in the future, at least. The price of a new device might be cheaper than paying someone to replace the battery for you.
Only you could decide if it's worth it or not. |

Amazon spells it out in their details:

Warning. My sister liked playing a Scrabble-type game against others with her original Paperwhite. The later Paperwhites, and Voyage, don't play games.

What is making you consider?
Not only are you getting the latests tech on the Kindle (more memory), better lighting, and an improved processor, you get a new battery. Is it worth it now? |

Of course, now that you have ordered, Amazon will go ahead and release the PW4 with 8GB storage, a faster processor, and Bluetooth.
But if that happens in next couple of weeks you can probably exchange. |
