Amazon announced a new lineup of upgraded Kindle Scribe digital notebooks today , but I’m sure it’s only a coincidence that it’s also a great time to grab last year’s model at a discount. Right now, the 2024 Amazon Kindle Scribe with 16 GB of storage is $300. That’s 25% off, marking its lowest price ever, according to price trackers . With your purchase you also get three free months of Kindle Unlimited.
The Scribe is more affordable alternative to competitors like ReMarkable , combining an e-reader with a digital notebook with a paper-like writing experience and limited AI integrations.
A redesigned upgrade from the original 2022 Kindle Scribe , the 2024 model has a larger 10.2-inch, 300 ppi e-ink screen. It’s made of aluminum (in Tungsten or Metallic Jade) and comes with a “Premium Pen” stylus with an eraser that allows you to mark up imported documents, sketch, handwrite notes, or use it as a planner. According to Amazon, battery life is up to three weeks, based on a baseline of 30 minutes of writing daily.
This model is a reading-and-writing hybrid with a great writing experience, but it can’t compete with full-featured digital notebooks that can run apps . It does, however, have built-in AI tools that transform handwriting into a readable font, summarize notes, and tweak their tone or length to your liking. Active Canvas also allows you to annotate the pages of your e-books.
While the 2024 model has more note-taking features than its predecessor, this PCMag review notes that its new annotation system isn’t a big improvement over the 2022 model. Still, with a $100 discount, you get Amazon’s most refined e-note experience, the bonus of AI tools, and a premium pen bundled in, making the 2024 Amazon Kindle Scribe a great choice for anyone who wants to elevate their reading, note-taking, and writing experience.
