The new Kindle Scribe is now selling for record-low prices, which matches the lowest it has ever sold for. The 64 GB version of the Scribe is down to $365, which is $85 or 19% less than the list price of $450. Back in January, the Kindle Scribe was selling for the exact same price. This makes the Kindle Scribe the perfect Mother’s Day gift if you are looking for something that can serve as both an e-reader and a note-taking device for your mother.
Debuting in late 2024, the Kindle Scribe seamlessly merges digital reading with handwritten note-taking, offering a powerful all-in-one experience. The latest iteration of the Scribe introduces a significant redesign. While the basic design remains the same, users are now able to jot down notes directly on books and documents, something that was sorely missed on the first-generation Kindle Scribe. Maintaining the familiar 10.2-inch display, the refreshed model also comes with a Premium Pen, which allows for effortless writing.
However, the real leap forward comes in the form of software enhancements, refining the way users interact with their notes. A nice thing here is that many of these improvements extend to the previous version of the Scribe as well. Notable upgrades include the ability to annotate e-books directly and make margin notes that expand as needed. Plus, for those connected online, AI-powered tools now streamline note summaries within the built-in notebook and even tidy up handwriting with just one tap.
Aesthetically, the latest release sports narrower bezels and a newly textured screen surface that better replicates the feel of traditional paper. It also debuts in a striking green color. Amazon has replaced the Basic Pen with the Premium Pen as the standard stylus, incorporating an integrated eraser and a customizable shortcut button for added convenience. Meanwhile, the vibrant 300ppi display and adjustable warm lighting carry over from the earlier model, ensuring a comfortable reading experience whether day or night.
