The sale doesn't officially start until July 16, but early bird deals have been rolling in for days. Take the Kindle Scribe e-reader, for example, which received good reviews amazon;elmt:;cpos:2;pos:1″ href=”https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwOUJTMjZCOEI_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLXYteDAtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjMzODhmOTFhLWIxYzctNGIzMS1hZWZiLTQzNDBiMDM1OGY1ZCJ9&signature=AQAAAUKDNZY_wanxAS6LiPJbunM4tUTn44jRkzRkToBAfEoE&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB09BS26B8B” class=”link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:is on sale for $235;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:amazon;elmt:;cpos:2;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas”> and includes the company’s Basic Pen stylus. All told, that’s a $105 discount, making it a record-low price. The downside? This deal is only for Prime members.
The Kindle Scribe easily made our list of the best. It would have taken the top spot if it weren't for the exorbitant starting price and stiff competition from the reMarkable 2. However, this offer makes the Scribe much cheaper than comparable products.
This is a record price, but only for Prime members.

We've called the e-reader “better than pen and paper,” specifically mentioning the low latency between pen and tablet and the premium exterior design. The Scribe is my personal e-reader of choice, and I've stared at it for hundreds upon hundreds of hours. I love it, but mostly as an e-reader. The extra screen real estate feels more like reading a newly released hardcover book than those tiny tablets out there. It's also, oddly, easy to hold in one hand when needed, despite the relatively large form factor.
The writing part works great. It’s a seamless experience. I just don’t use it much. My handwriting is horrible and after drawing a few slices of pizza in the note-taking app, I got a little bored. If note-taking is your thing, this app certainly gets the job done. Sharing these notes could be a little more intuitive, though. There’s no handwriting-to-text conversion algorithm and the software automatically syncs notes as image files, but the only real option to edit them afterward is to convert them to PDF and head over to something like Evernote.
However, this is a Kindle. The digital store is the best in the business, with the largest selection of titles. I see the Scribe this way. In my opinion, I have the best e-reader on the market, and the note-taking feature is a nice little bonus.
