TheAmazon Kindle Scribeis a great eInk tablet for reading and writing, and it’sgotten even bettersince it was originally launched. Now,Amazon Prime Daydeals are dropping this tablet to its lowest price, and if you’ve even considered adding this big, beautiful display to your portfolio, it’s worth checking out this deal.
TheAmazonKindleScribe is not the best writing tablet in any one area, but it excels all around. Even though it’s packed with features and includes the basic pen, it is still one of the more affordable eInk writing tablets, and that was before this greatPrime Day tablet dealdropped the price from $339.99 to $254.99.
Yeah, the pricing is weird, and there are a bunch of bundles to sift through, but unlike competitorRemarkableand many more expensive traditional (not eInk) tablets, including thebest iPads, Amazon actually gives you a pen with your new Kindle Scribe.
You probably won’t need more storage than the basic 16GB, since you can synchronize your books and send along your notes rather than storing everything on the Scribe forever. If you plan on traveling or using the tablet for extensive doodling, the upgrade is still a great price.
My review unit came with the leather cover and premium pen, and the entire bundle works nicely together if you decide to spring for the premiere package. Amazon is somehow one of the few writing tablet makers to give you a holster for your pen built into the case. Seriously, most other tablets just let the pen hang off the side, attached by magnets and prayer.
The Kindle Scribe keeps getting better
The best thing about the Kindle Scribe is that Amazon has been improving it steadily since it launched less than a year ago. In my original review, I lamented the lack of background templates and pen options. Amazon recently added a number of new pen styles with varying thicknesses.
You can also now buy journals and templates from the Kindle book store that let you write directly on a book, a feature high on my wishlist. It’s limited to self-help journals and crossword puzzles and the like, but that still gives you tons more options for writing templates and doodling.
Even if you don’t plan on doing much writing, the Kindle Scribe is still the biggest and maybe thebest Kindle, if you need the larger page. The screen is just as sharp as a smallerKindle Paperwhite, making it even sharper than an iPad display for reading and text.
This Prime Day deal is $35 cheaper than the best price we’ve seen on the Kindle Scribe, and it’s unlikely prices will drop further, as most competitor eInk writing tablets are already much more expensive than Amazon’s offering. Jump on this deal if you want the best reading and writing to go.
