In this part of the video, Dylan introduces Amazon’s trade-in program, showcasing how it can be used to obtain new Amazon devices at steep discounts.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the trade-in process for Amazon devices, particularly Kindles, and emphasizes that Amazon is not sponsoring this content. They explain that trading in older devices, like a 2018 Kindle Paperwhite, can be beneficial as Amazon offers a fair trade-in value ($30 in this example) and a 20% discount on a new Kindle. However, trading in newer models, like the 2021 Paperwhite, is less advantageous since the trade-in value is only slightly higher ($35). The speaker then provides an example of how to initiate a trade-in through Amazon’s website and highlights the additional 20% discount as a major benefit, which can save around $50 on more expensive models like the Kindle Oasis.

The presenter explains the option to either accept the adjusted value if the condition differs upon inspection or receive the device back.

The segment concludes with details on shipping the device, which is free, and emphasizes the ease of completing the trade-in.
