The Amazon Kindle Scribe is back on sale. The E Ink tablet is right now selling for $489.99, which is 11 percent less than the regular price of $549.99. This will let you save $60 on the list price. The deal applies to the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle, which comprises of the Kindle Scribe (64 GB) done up in a Tungsten shade, a Premium Pen, a 9W Power Adapter, and a plant-based leather folio cover. There is also the option to save another 20 percent via trade-in.
The device otherwise shouldn’t need any introduction. This happens to be the biggest Kindle version Amazon has ever come up with. It had earlier launched the Kindle DX back in 2009, which sported a 9.7-inch display. With a 10.2-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display, the Scribe is even bigger. The Carta 1200 display offers 20 percent faster response time and 15 percent better contrast compared to its predecessor, the Carta 1000. The Carta 1200 display on the Kindle Scribe is specially optimized to allow for a smoother handwriting experience while allowing for reduced ghosting effects.
Kindle Scribe Can Be An Excellent Note-taking Device
The Kindle Scribe may be lacking advanced note-taking features compared to many of its more illustrious rivals from the likes of the reMarkable or Onyx Boox. That said, the Scribe has undergone a huge upgrade thanks to an update launched a few months back. The Scribe is now better placed as a note-taking device compared to what it was when it was first launched. For instance, you can now write directly on the books themselves. There is the Active Canvas feature, which can dynamically create space to accommodate the note you have written.
There is also the built-in notebook, which you can make good use of for creating to-do lists, jotting down meeting notes, or journaling, all in the same place. You won’t need separate apps for these tasks. You also have the option to convert your handwritten notes into text, which you can then share with your contacts. Other tasks you will be able to perform include creating summaries of your notes or creating a refined version of those.
All in all, the Kindle Scribe can be an excellent device for notetaking as well as for reading e-books. It is unlike any of the other Kindle models currently available. If you are on the lookout for an e-reader device that can also serve as an E Ink tablet, the Scribe can be it. And with the discount currently being offered, it makes sense to make the most of it.
