While it’s not my favorite Kindle, the Kindle Scribe definitely has a place in the market. This device, which combines the functions of an e-reader and a digital notepad, could be a great tool for those who enjoy taking notes on a device that mimics a paper notebook. While it typically costs more, the Kindle Scribe is currently on sale on Amazon for Black Friday 2025. It’s currently at an all-time low of $280, a full 30% off its original price.
The device is available in three storage capacities: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. The 16GB and 32GB versions are currently available for $280, while the 64GB version is $310, a 31% discount. This means the biggest discount is on the 32GB version (33% off), so if you’re buying a Kindle Scribe this Black Friday, the 32GB is likely your best choice.
Scribe is available in black and green (called Tungsten and Metallic Jade, respectively, on Amazon). Unfortunately, the green version is only available with 64GB of storage, so you’ll need to spend an extra $30 for it.
Please note that the new generation of Kindle Scribe is just around the corner and will be available for $500. For me, this means now is the perfect time to grab an older model at a great price, but for others, saving up and buying a newer one might be wiser.
The current generation Kindle Scribe received a 3.5/5 rating in a Lifehacker review . Deputy Editor-in-Chief Joel Cunningham called it an excellent e-reader but a disappointing digital notepad. He praised the Scribe’s build quality, writing comfort, and stylus. However, he was dissatisfied with the limited note-taking features, slow refresh rate, occasional ghosting, and lack of waterproofing.
Which stores have the biggest discounts on Black Friday?
With both large retailers and small businesses competing for Black Friday shoppers, you can expect sales at virtually every store until Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” discounts depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to be offered by large retailers that can afford lower prices, such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our blog .
Are Black Friday deals worth it?
In short, yes, Black Friday still offers deals you rarely see the rest of the year. If you’re shopping or looking for gifts, now is the time to look for deals on essentials, especially tech , home goods , and fitness equipment . Of course, if you’re looking to save money, the best way to save is to buy nothing.
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to favor large retailers and higher-end appliances, while Cyber Monday favored cheaper appliances and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. However, today, this distinction has become virtually meaningless. Every major retailer runs sales on both days, so it’s best to know what you need, use price trackers, or consult guides like our blog , which uses price trackers, and not worry about finding the perfect time.
