Today, Amazon announced a new line of updated Kindle Scribe digital notebooks , but I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that now is the perfect time to buy last year’s model at a discount. Amazon’s 2024 Kindle Scribe with 16GB of storage is currently priced at $300. That’s a 25% discount—the lowest price ever, according to price trackers . With your purchase, you also get three free months of Kindle Unlimited.
Scribe is a more affordable alternative to competitors like ReMarkable , combining an e-reader with a digital notepad with paper writing capabilities and limited AI integration.
The 2024 Kindle Scribe , an updated version of the original 2022 model , features a larger 10.2-inch e-ink display with a 300 ppi resolution. The device is made of aluminum (available in tungsten or metallic jade) and comes with a Premium Pen stylus with an eraser, allowing you to mark up imported documents, sketch, take notes, or use the device as a planner. According to Amazon, the battery life is up to three weeks based on 30 minutes of daily writing.
This model is a hybrid reading and writing device with excellent features, but it can’t compete with full-featured digital notepads with app-based capabilities . However, it does feature built-in AI tools that convert handwriting into readable fonts, summarize notes, and adjust their tone and length to your liking. Active Canvas also allows you to annotate e-book pages.
While the 2024 model offers more note-taking features than its predecessor, PCMag’s review notes that its new annotation system isn’t much different from the 2022 model. However, with a $100 discount, you get Amazon’s most advanced digital note-taking interface, bonus AI tools, and a premium pen included. Thus, the 2024 Kindle Scribe is an excellent choice for those looking to take reading, note-taking, and writing to the next level.
