Amazon has just launched a new sale called Prime Big Deal Days, where prices have been slashed on a variety of items including booze, beauty products, and tech gadgets. Among the discounted items is the Kindle Scribe, which has had a whopping £100 knocked off its price. This particular Kindle model stands out as it comes with a digital notebook and pen, making it a more affordable alternative to the reMarkable tablet, which also features a built-in e-reader function.
The Kindle Scribe allows users to convert handwritten notes to text, both within the built-in notebook and in any books they may be reading. Additionally, users can import PDF documents to mark up, as well as create Microsoft Word sticky notes. One of the standout features of the Kindle Scribe is its paper-like screen, which boasts a 10.2″ 300 ppi glare-free, front-lit display – a first of its kind in the world of e-readers.
With an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 1,173 global reviews, the Kindle Scribe has garnered praise from users. One satisfied customer shared, “I already have a Kindle Signature but some of the books I read have tables and illustrations that are hard to read on a small screen. Kindle Scribe is fabulous and I have become quite a bookworm! The notebook features are great. It feels much more like a real notebook and it is less burdensome than my iPad Pro. The responsiveness is just right.”
Another user mentioned, “Really enjoying my Kindle Scribe. I use it primarily to take and organise my notes for work, which it does very well. The writing experience is really smooth and I’m able to annotate pdfs which has been really useful. I’m also making full use of the reading facility which has been really good and cut down on my screen-watching time before bed.”
While the Kobo Elipsa is a similar e-reader that allows note-taking on eBooks and PDFs, it is currently priced at £299.99, making it more expensive than the Kindle Scribe. The Kindle Scribe starts at £229 for the basic version with 16GB of storage and a basic pen, with the option to upgrade for more storage or a premium pen. Additionally, customers can enjoy three months of free Kindle Unlimited with their purchase.
Overall, the Kindle Scribe seems to be a popular choice among users for its versatility as both an e-reader and a digital notebook. With its discounted price during the Prime Big Deal Days sale, it presents a compelling option for those in the market for a new e-reader.
