GameStop to now accept trade-ins for Amazon Kindle Fire, sell new ones GameStop has announced today that they have begun offering Amazon Kindle Fire tablets.
Included are the 7-inch and 8.9-inch versions of the Fire HD as well as the 7-inch Fire.

Pricing will match what Amazon sells them for online, but the gaming retailer will also include a free $25 gift card to Amazon with all purchases.

"Gaming is one of the most popular activities on Kindle Fire, so we're excited that GameStop is offering the new Kindle Fire family to its customers," Mike McKenna, vice president of Amazon Kindle, said in a press release.

Additionally, if you have an original Kindle Fire, you can trade it in for up to $100 in GS store credit.
