Q: I have an old Kindle. I understand there’s a program where you can trade in an old kindle for a new Kindle Fire. Do you know of any program like that?
A: has a trade-in program in which you receive a gift card in exchange for old gadgets. The value of the gift card is based on the item and its condition, which ranges from “acceptable” to “good” to “like new.” An item qualifies for “like new” value if it works perfectly, doesn’t have any visible wear or personalization and includes the original manufacturer packaging and all original accessories. A “like new” first-generation Kindle will garner $11 from the program. Of course, you could always sell the old Kindle or other gadget on eBay or Craigslist and potentially receive far more in return. But the advantage to using Amazon’s service is it offers free UPS shipping (you just need to drop off the item at a UPS location) and you don’t have to bother with listings and questions from potential buyers.
