Unsurprisingly, Amazon is discounting a variety of e-readers during its Big Spring Sale, including its first color e-reader. But if you like to take notes while reading, there’s only one Kindle that allows you to do so: the Kindle Scribe. Luckily, the 16GB version of the latest model is on sale for an all-time low of $324.99 ($75 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. You can also pick up the 32GB and 64GB versions at Amazon for $339.99 ($80 off) and $364.99 ($85 off), respectively, or the last-gen Scribe for $264.99 ($75 off) if you’re a Target Circle member.

Overall, the Kindle Scribe offers a far better writing experience than it did when it first made its debut. That’s thanks to a plethora of new AI-powered features Amazon baked into the second-gen model, which are also available to first-gen Scribe owners. Notably, Amazon now lets you write directly on ebook pages and scribble notes in the margins, which makes for a more intuitive note-taking experience. The Scribe can also now summarize any notes you make in the built-in notebook, when connected to the internet, and refine your handwriting.

The 2024 Kindle Scribe is a 10.2-inch e-reader with a stylus for taking notes. It’s faster than its predecessor and offers a host of new features, including one that lets you jot notes directly in your book.
In addition to its new note-taking capabilities, the 10.2-inch Scribe continues to provide an excellent reading experience. The latest model offers thinner bezels and a textured display, but is otherwise almost identical to its predecessor, with a sharp 300ppi display that’s a pleasure to read on. It also retains an adjustable warm light for nighttime reading, which is a feature that many big-screen, note-taking ebook readers lack.
