Microcosm Publishing is taking the e-reader wars to the next level with their new promotion. You bring in your unwanted Kindle (they only want Kindles) and you get to take home it's value in books, zines, and other printed matter from their zine store.
As their blog points out, "most of the store's books are priced in the $2-$6 range so a $139-$189 trade-in (note: going retail for the Kindle at Amazon's site) you might be carrying your books out in a fleet of wheelbarrows!"
You can take advantage of this bizarre deal at the Microcosm Zine Store at 636 SE 11th Ave. My main concern, what do they plan to do with the Kindles? Burn them?
