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.
What do you think so far?
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.
