The Kindle Scribe, the latest model of the Amazon Kindle, is currently available at a discounted price. Amazon is offering up to 22% off all configurations, with savings of $75 on the basic model, bringing the price down to $265. Additionally, all configurations come with three free months of Kindle Unlimited, saving customers an additional $36. There is no set expiration date for this deal, so it is recommended to place an order sooner rather than later to take advantage of the savings.
The Kindle Scribe features a 300 ppi, front-lit, 10.2-inch high-resolution touchscreen E ink display with adjustable warm light. It is the largest Kindle ever and weighs just under a pound, making it portable. However, it is advisable to purchase a cover that can also act as a stand, as it is not included with the device.
Depending on the model purchased, the Kindle Scribe comes with either a standard stylus or a premium pen. Both attach magnetically to the side of the device and do not require power or Bluetooth connectivity. The premium pen has an eraser function and a programmable button. While the stylus can be used to mark up PDFs, it is important to note that Kindle ebooks or DRM-free ePub ebooks cannot be marked up. The device is primarily designed for writing on “sticky notes” on anything other than a PDF.
For the lowest price, the Basic Pen option is available for $265, with 16GB of storage. The Premium Pen option is available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB configurations, with prices starting at $290.
Overall, the Kindle Scribe offers a versatile and convenient e-reading experience, with the added benefit of being able to write, draw, and take notes directly on the display.
