Support Our Troops – Donate a Kindle 2

in EB4T Updates

We are very excited to announce that E-Books for Troops has launched a great new program, Kindle 2 for Troops (K24T), which provides an opportunity to donate your pre-owned Kindle 2 to a solider who is currently deployed overseas.

The impetus for this new program was observing the overwhelming demand and response to Amazon’s recently announced third generation Kindle.  We instantly recognized this created a terrific opportunity for current owners of Kindle 2s who are upgrading to the new model to donate them to our deployed soldiers.

Here are the highlights of the program.  It is really easy to participate:

  • Read the details of the program on the Kindle 2 For Troops information page.
  • If you have a Kindle 2 U.S. or Kindle 2 International that is in good, working condition (no damage, please) and you are a U.S. citizen, you are eligible for the program. (Note: first generation Kindles or Kindle DXs are not eligible).
  • Complete our K24T Kindle donation form, and we will then email you with shipment instructions for your pre-owned Kindle.
  • You will then mail your Kindle 2 to EB4T, and once received we will email you a receipt that you can use as proof of donation (note: EB4T has a 501c3 application pending and is authorized to operate as a tax-deductible organization per IRS publication 4220).  UPDATE:  Our 501(c)(3) application has been approved!
  • We will then distribute your Kindle, along with a case and light donated by M-Edge Accessories, as part of a future donation to a sponsored EB4T unit.

We are so excited to announce this program, and know it will be very successful, but it will only be active for a limited time. We are accepting donations only through Thanksgiving Day 2010, so please contact us now.

Update: Based on the terrific response to this program, we have extended it indefinitely.

For more information or questions, please contact us today.
