Amazon's Kindle Scribe Hits Record-Low Price of $310 in Last-Minute Holiday Deal

In a timely offer for last-minute holiday shoppers, Amazon has slashed the price of its Kindle Scribe (64GB) to $309.99. According to the company's website on Dec. 23, the 31% discount knocks $140 off the $419.99 list price, matching its lowest price ever recorded on the platform.

The E-Reader for Readers Who Write

The Kindle Scribe stands out in the Kindle lineup by blending a premium e-reading experience with the functionality of a digital notebook. It's the only Kindle with writing capabilities and comes with an included Premium Pen that magnetically attaches to the side of the device. Users can add handwritten notes to books, journal their thoughts, or manage to-do lists on the e-ink screen.

Mashable has previously named the Scribe the best Kindle for taking notes. "If, looking through your bookshelf, your books have dog-eared pages, highlighted lines, and scribbles in the margins... I'd like to introduce you to the Kindle Scribe," wrote Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino. She noted the included pen moves across the screen with ease, closely mimicking the feel of writing on paper.

Key Specs and Considerations

The device features a large, 10.2-inch glare-free display and boasts an impressive battery life, lasting up to 12 weeks on a single charge for reading. The included pen never needs to be charged. While Mashable's original review cited its $450 launch price as a potential drawback, today's sale price makes it a significantly more compelling offer.

However, potential buyers should be aware of one key difference from some of its siblings: unlike the popular Kindle Paperwhite, the Kindle Scribe is not waterproof. This makes it less ideal for poolside or bathtub reading.
