Amazon goes (even further) into the second-hand market

Amazon goes (even further) into the second-hand market

In Spain the economy is bad, nothing new so far, but it seems that the world economy has not fully recovered, at least that is how some see it and it seems that this is how Amazon is seeing it, which among other things is beginning to dedicate more space for your second-hand products.

Thus, while it was not difficult to find their eReaders among the second-hand market, now it will be less, since Amazon has enabled One page where you can buy your eReaders and accessories for them for a discounted price, since they are second-hand products.

Will a second-hand kindle be worse than a new one?

According to the sources that I handle, as well as the characteristics that Amazon shows on its page, these second-hand eReaders would not have to make much difference compared to a new eReader. Still, they all go through the hands of Amazon who review, fix and repackage the eReader but at a cheaper price. In addition, the devices have a one-year warranty offered by Amazon itself, so if you do not mind brandishing something used, this page or section of Amazon is yours.

Amazon is not the first company that decides to create a space for its second-hand products, another of the best known cases is that of Apple, which fixes the devices it sells and resells them for a lower price, which is for our pockets to thank. Amazon so far did a bit of «foreign»But it seems that now it will officially do so on its main website.

I have personally seen the page whose link I put you and eReaders quite appetizing, I also have to say that Amazon is putting all the old stock that it has and does not sell, since we can find eReaders of the first and second generation. what if I have not found is the Kindle DX, it seems that they have other plans for this eReader. To give you an idea of ​​what this means, the latest Kindle, without being neither the paperwhite nor the touch, is being sold for about 41 euros, a fairly cheap price in my opinion.

Now you just have to wait, since with the arrival of the new Kindle models, this page will look full or with even bigger discounts. By the way, all this makes me wonder, is Amazon preparing a new edition of the Kindle DX by not putting the model on this page? We will have to wait to see the solution, you don't think so, but even so I think the possibility is interesting, don't you think?

      You can put any epub on the kindle with Caliber, and you don't have to connect with amazon at all. Please, let us not get carried away by paranoia hand in hand with ignorance.

        and give him that pesaditos are ... and why do I have to use a program to convert formats? what i'm asking is that kindle support epub. I don't feel like having to go around doing conversions.

        If my car is diesel I want the gas station to sell me diesel, I don't want it to sell me super and have to convert it myself

    For now this initiative is only available for America, right? Do you know if there are signs that it will soon arrive in Spain?

    Thanks for reading us. For Lambiris, comment that it is indeed in America but I think it can be bought from Spain. I think the stock and warehouse system have changed it. For L0ck0 and Yorxmaikel, comment that you are both right. The kindle is a very good eReader, perhaps the best if we include price / quality, but it is very restrictive and very guarded, as L0ck0 states, but there are people who do not care about that, they just want to read, although L0ck0 is a very good idea , to see if Amazon welcomes it.
