Refurbished Kindle Information - Why and Where to Get a Refurbished Kindle

Refurbished Kindle Summary %LINK1% Even though there are lots of places to buy a Kindle, fewer choices exist for locating a refurbished one. Big well-known brick and mortar stores (retailers with a store-front where you can go), seldom carry refurbished things, including refurbished Kindles. So, where can you find one? And should you choose a refurbished unit over a new unit?

Refurbished Kindle Details Even though there are many places to purchase a Kindle, few options exist for finding a refurbished Kindle. Big well-known retail stores (places with a store-front where you can go), do not carry refurbished things, including refurbished Kindles. Where can one be found? Does a person have a Kindle refurbished? A person who has one that needs repair may return it under warranty or may get it repaired. Refurbished items become available to a new owner, not the original owner. Others may be able to locate and buy a refurbished Kindle. Where would one find them? Usually items are returned to the place where originally purchased or to a manufacturer, which in this case is Amazon. The place to go at Amazon is the Devices page where you can type "refurbished" on the search line to see all of those repaired and made available.

You might want to purchase a refurbished Kindle even though you know it was returned under warranty by the original owner and then repaired by the manufacturer in order to lower cost. Although choosing to get refurbished items may save money, some items lend themselves to refurbishment and others do not. It also depends upon if it will really save on the cost.

When searching for refurbished things, there are sometimes other options besides the manufacturer. For the Kindle, in addition to Amazon, there are other outlets. They are eBay sellers who have arranged with Amazon to sell their refurbished Kindles. Even so, it is not a good option. For one thing, you will pay anywhere from almost retail to more than the retail price anyway. There are refurbished Kindles on eBay that have a higher price tag than a new Kindle at Amazon. Kind of odd, isn't it? Besides that, Amazon offers warranties with refurbished units that one buys from them. Knowing all this, do you still think that you want to get a refurbished unit, which is really a broken or faulty unit that has been renewed, was used for who knows how long, that may cost as much or more than a new one?

New or used Kindles are two different options to a refurbished Kindle. You may think you would be better off with a refurbished unit over a used unit. You may wish for a new or near new appearance, imagine better function, but want a used or almost used price. Although reasonable, it may not go that way for a Kindle unless purchased right from Amazon. Because the prices are so near the same for used, refurbished, and new units, you are likely to go for a new unit. Yet there is good reason to check into %LINK1% units at Amazon and perhaps on eBay as long as you also check for equivalent warranty.

Be careful when you buy one since the sellers of refurbished Kindles do not often state if they are the ads or no-ads version. If in doubt, ask first. The ads version is lower priced, but presents ads to you, while the no-ads version does not but costs more, whether new or as a refurbished unit.
