Well, if you haven't, and you're in the market for an e-reader tablet with a little more pizzazz than the tried-and-true OG, consider this: The Scribe has a literal horde of fans who swear it's Amazon's greatest invention, and right now, you can grab it bundled with other goodies for a whopping 35% off, which translates to a $140 discount!Seriously, don't miss this. Reviewers have sung its praises to the heavens, deeming it 'the absolute best Kindle Amazon has ever produced,' a 'perfect union of an e-reader and e-notepad,' 'a joy' to use, and 'utterly perfect.'

It has a larger 10.2-inch screen than the Kindle Paperwhite (which measures 7 inches) for easier reading. (One reviewer calls the ability to change that text size 'a godsend' for aging eyes.)

You can also use the stylus to highlight, underline, and mark up documents, .pdf files, and even the very books you're reading!Coolest of all, it uses AI to summarize your pages of notes, so you can keep things tidy without having to flip through your thoughts and references to find what you can use the Scribe to take meeting notes at work or jot to-do and grocery lists.

You could even convert your handwritten notes to text and email them to yourself or your friends whenever you need!Several reviewers say writing with the stylus feels like using a real pencil and paper, plus with the stylus' eraser, you can immediately delete any mistakes you might've made, all without having to waste desk Kindle Scribe bundle is the lowest price it's been all year.

'OH. MY. GOD. 🤩🥳 I have found the holy grail of e-reading. I upgraded by trading in my 10th-gen Paperwhite. When I received this bad boy (named $crim the Scribe lol), setup was a breeze bc I linked my Amazon account to the purchase. I've had it for a week now and it's life changing in the best way 😍 **yes I'm aware you can see my folders and titles of my notebooks, idc lol** […] I love writing on it, and I think my handwriting is so much prettier on it vs on actual paper 💀 […]The screen is HUGE and my blind self loves that 🤣 I didn't realize the pen is magnetic and sticks to the side, I was like a cavewoman discovering fire when I found that feature lmaooo. Response time is lightyears faster than my Paperwhite, and having 64GB of memory is a dream compared to the 8GB I had. The battery life is impressive. I have mine set to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. […]✨I know the price is pricey (at least to me it is lmfao), but if you love reading, love to journal, or want to get into the habit of journaling, BUY A KINDLE SCRIBE!!!!!! This was a purchase I know was worth it as soon as I got to play around with it ✨' —Nicole (This review has been edited for length.

I get the best of both worlds in terms of the flexibility of digital and the power of analog writing in one package. Plus, I can play my audiobooks to boot! (not while I'm taking notes, of course). I'm still doing the bullet journal style of notetaking, but I'm having to adjust to a slightly different workflow. The beauty is that I feel like this is even more flexible than a regular bullet journal because now I can take certain notes that I want to keep from year to year without having to transfer between journals every year. I just keep them in a different category or folder, and I organize things better this way, which works for me. […]' —Jack_and_Angel (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review.)'I had a Paperwhite for seven years, and I started having issues with it. There were lines on the screen and little specs of stuff, and they would come off after rebooting, but the screen was really small, which is a 7-inch, so I decided to go for a scribe. On Amazon, you get the best deal I got with a trade-in $60 off, plus a $20 gift card, so it ended up being $225, which is a fantastic deal when I got it. I was kind of apprehensive at first, thinking it was gonna be too big before I got it. I was wrong. It is amazing that the print can be made bigger, especially for us who have aging eyes. It is a godsend. It can be turned left or right whichever way you want, and if you get a case, you can get one of those that have a strap in the bag so you can strap it to your hand. The visibility is so much better, I'm able to establish my collection so much easier and in so much cleaner. It is way more responsive than the paper white and I wish I would've but purchased one sooner. I highly recommend. Don't worry about the weight, it is just fine. It is not a big deal. I absolutely love it. Do not hesitate, run and get one now.' —Nicole robello'I received my Amazon Kindle Scribe 64GB two weeks ago, and I simply LOVE IT! I wasn't sure I would like writing on it before I practiced with it, but when I discovered the 'fountain pen' writing option, I was THRILLED. It is fun to take notes now, and although I am not as excited with the edit part of the interface before emailing it to myself as a PDF, it is early days. It is long past time to stop wasting paper and going digital — and as I enjoy the process of writing notes as a part of encoding and learning, it really is working for me.' —Xela'This is, by far, the best Kindle Amazon has ever produced in my experience. I had the Paperwhite before with the drawing capabilities. This one has far superior drawing. The underlining feature is amazing. The processor keeps up with the drawing, so you can just seamlessly underline multiple lines without the weird action of the previous versions. The note-taking is incredible. It puts the notes inline with the text of the book, and the feel of the note-taking is very much like taking notes on paper. The color of the display is so much more pleasing to look at than any previous version of Kindle I've ever purchased, and I have purchased several before this one. If you want an excellent product for reading, get this Kindle. I cannot recommend this product enough.' —monsterpixel
