It's usually wise to wait for Amazon Prime Day to pick up a Kindle ereader since the online retailer typically saves the best deals for its own shopping events. Case in point: this deal on the latest Kindle Scribe. The E Ink tablet is down to $260 right now, which is $140 off and the cheapest we've seen it. You'll get that price on the base 16GB model, but there are similar discounts on the 32GB and 64GB configurations as well.
The Kindle Scribe is Amazon's answer to devices like the reMarkable E ink tablet. It's both a standard ereader and a tablet for taking notes, as it ships with a pen for scribbling. This makes it handy for writing down thoughts or for mindlessly drawing pizza slices. Users can jot notes over books, but not every title supports this feature.


The Scribe made our list of the best E Ink tablets for a number of reasons. We appreciated the low latency when writing. In most cases, users won't notice any latency at all. The latest software update also brings in new brush types, which now include a fountain pen, a marker and a pencil. This device makes it easy to create multiple notebooks for different purposes. There are even some AI tools for summarization and the like.
Of course, it's also a standard ereader. I have a Scribe and, to be honest, I use it primarily for reading. The giant 10.2-inch screen is just so luxe and offers a superior reading experience to standard-sized Kindles. It's a bit heavier and cumbersome to hold for long periods, but that tradeoff is worth it to me.
The only major downside here is the price. It's tough to recommend a $400 ereader, even with all of the handwriting bells and whistles. However, this sale certainly takes the edge off a bit.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-latest-kindle-scribe-is-140-off-in-this-prime-day-deal-131544290.html?src=rss

    "$260 for a 16GB Kindle Scribe is still overpriced, considering its specs. Amazon needs to rethink its pricing strategy if it wants to stay competitive in the e-reader market."

    While the Kindle Scribe is at a record-low price, I wonder how it stacks up against other E Ink tablets like the Remarkable 2 in terms of features and performance. Is it worth the investment compared to its competitors?

    The Kindle Scribe's price drop is exciting for tech enthusiasts! But with Amazon's 194% e-reader profit margin , how much of this discount truly benefits consumers versus reinforcing corporate dominance?

    "Interesting deal, but is the Kindle Scribe really worth $260? E Ink tablets have niche appeal—great for reading, but limited for productivity. Worth it for die-hard note-takers, but most may prefer a cheaper Kindle or a full tablet. Thoughts?"
