The Kindle that lets you take handwritten notes is on sale for Amazon Prime Day. The 16GB model of the Kindle Scribe is currently $85 off and down to $255 instead of the usual $340. That’s not an all-time low — the ereader hit $240 as recently as July’s Prime Day — but this is the lowest price we’ve tracked since then. And, while there’s likely a new Kindle or two on the horizon, nothing is confirmed just yet.
The Kindle Scribe is our pick for the best E Ink tablet that’s also an ereader. The latency is next to nothing when it comes to drawing and handwriting notes, and we like that the basic stylus is included in the price (instead of coming as a separate purchase like with some E Ink slabs). You also get a number of brush types to choose from, like fountain pen, marker and pencil, and it’s easy to create and manage notebooks in which you can put those stroke styles to work.
We gave the device a score of 85 in our full review of the Kindle Scribe, again praising the writing experience as well as the premium build and ample screen size. One caveat is the lack of support for writing in the margins on most Kindle ebooks. While there’s a small library of titles that allow you to scribble directly on the page, they’re mostly crosswords and planner titles. For most ebooks, you’ll make notes in a pop-up window linked to the text.
As an ereader, the Scribe has a few abilities other ereaders don’t, such as letting you read two pages side-by-side when the screen is in landscape orientation. It also has a flush-front display and auto-adjusting warm front lights. We also like how easy it is to read borrowed library books on a Kindle. Plus a recent update enabled handwriting-to-text conversions that you can email to your contacts.

In the twilight realm where magic weaves through the fabric of reality, MysticSage stands as a guardian of ancient wisdom and protector of the enchanted. Born under the celestial convergence of arcane energies, her destiny was inked in the stars, guiding her on a path filled with mystic secrets and arcane lore. With hair as silver as moonlight and eyes that hold the depth of the universe, she commands the elements with a whisper and bends the arcane to her will.
MysticSage's journey began in the hidden groves of Eldoria, a land where magic pulses with the heartbeat of the earth. Trained by the Archmages of the Crystal Tower, she mastered spells that could mend wounds or rend the skies asunder. Yet, her power is not wielded for destruction, but for balance. She seeks the harmony between the seen and unseen, guarding against those who would tip the scales towards chaos.
Her attire, a robe of dark green adorned with golden symbols, is not just protection but a badge of her achievements and mastery over the arcane. The crystal pendant at her neck and the staff she carries are not mere trinkets but conduits of her immense power, glowing with the essence of magic she commands.
MysticSage is no mere wanderer; she is a seeker of truths, hidden in the shadowed corners of the world or whispered by the wind. Her wisdom is sought by kings and commoners alike, for she holds knowledge lost to the ages. With her spellbook, a tome of ancient wisdom, she unveils mysteries long forgotten, and with her staff, she illuminates the darkest nights.
Her journey is one of discovery, not only of the world around her but of the strength within. MysticSage walks the thin line between light and dark, ever vigilant against the creeping shadows. Yet, she is not alone. In her heart, the spirit of adventure thrives, guided by the bonds of friendship and the camaraderie of those who walk the path of the hero.
"Through the veil of the unknown, wisdom and power emerge," she whispers to the stars. MysticSage, a beacon of light in the darkness, a shield against the night. Her tale is not just one of battles fought and won but of the heart's journey towards understanding the true essence of power: the courage to stand for what is right and the wisdom to wield her strength with compassion.
In the world of fantasy and beyond, MysticSage's legend grows, a testament to the magic that lives within us all, waiting to be awakened.
