If you’ve been eyeing a Kindle that offers more screen space and added functionality, now’s the perfect time to act. Amazon has dropped the price of one of its most feature-rich models—the 2022 Kindle Scribe—and the savings are impressive.
The device is now available for just £229.99, a generous cut of £100 from its regular £329.99 price tag. That’s a solid 30% discount on a top-tier Kindle. Even though Amazon rolled out a newer version in 2024, both editions are virtually identical in features and performance. Plus, the 2022 model has received all the same software updates as its successor.
Considering the latest model is selling for no less than £379.99, going with the older version nets you a hefty £150 in savings, without compromising the experience.
Having spent considerable time with the 2022 Kindle Scribe, I can say it’s an absolute pleasure to read on. Its expansive 10.2-inch screen allows for more text per page, and even when you boost the font size, you still get a comfortable reading layout—not always the case with smaller Kindles.
This model comes bundled with Amazon’s Basic Pen, which never needs charging. That’s right—you can jot down notes in e-books or create full digital notebooks on the go. It’s like carrying your personal library and a sketchpad or notepad all in one.
One thing to note: you can’t write directly on the pages of e-books like you can with some competitors, such as Kobo. Instead, Kindle lets you add note boxes alongside the text. It’s not the most seamless method, but it gets the job done.
