Amazon Prime Day[1] is here and you can save on all manner of tech, including Amazon’s devices, from Kindle tablets to Echo speakers.
Take the Amazon Kindle Scribe[2], which has dropped to $300 from $400. The 25 percent discount brings the second-generation device back down to its all-time low price. This deal is available on the 16GB model in Tungsten (dark grey) and doesn’t include Kindle Unlimited. If you want more storage, the 32GB and 64GB versions are also 25 and 24 percent off, respectively.
The Kindle Scribe is our pick for best e-reader E Ink tablet[3]. It scored an 86 in our review[4], thanks to the smooth reading and writing experience it provides. We were also fans of its sleek and slender design. It has a 10.2-inch screen and offers front lights that auto-adjust to your needs. Our biggest gripe was the cost which, thanks to this deal, is less of an issue.
Amazon
It’s worth noting that Amazon announced a few new Kindle Scribe models recently, but none of them are available just yet. The Kindle Scribe 3[5] has a thinner and lighter design, plus faster page-turning and writing experiences. The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft[6] is Amazon’s first full-color E Ink tablet. If you want the latest and greatest, it’s worth it to wait — but Amazon hasn’t yet named specific release dates for either new model. During its latest hardware event[7], it only said the new Scribes were coming “later this year.”
