Best Buy just dropped the price of the Amazon Kindle Scribe to lower than we've ever seen at Amazon
There's more to consider than just what supplies to buy this year (though we'll help with that too.)
SAVE 31%: The Amazon Kindle Scribe (16GB, basic pen) is on sale at Best Buy for just $234.99, down from the usual price of $339.99. That's a savings of $105 and a better sale price than we've ever seen offered at Amazon.
Amazon has truly revolutionized the way we shop. Through the mega-retailer we can order just about anything to our doorstep, and it often arrives within just a few days (or hours). Amazon also offers some incredible discounts, especially during Prime Day sales. However, we occasionally find a deal from another retailer that blows Amazon's sale price out of the water. A solid case in points come today on an Amazon product sold at Best Buy.
As of July 30, the Amazon Kindle Scribe (16GB, basic pen) is on sale at Best Buy for just $234.99, marked down from the list price of $339.99. That's a 31% discount or a savings of $105. It's also lower than the best sale price we've ever seen at Amazon.
The Amazon Kindle Scribe is first and foremost an e-reader, allowing you to carry dozens of downloaded or borrowed books on a single device. If you have travel in your future, packing the Kindle Scribe instead of several books to read pool-side will save you big time when it comes to precious suitcase space.
But the Kindle Scribe goes beyond basic reading. It's also a notebook, annotating device, and document viewer. You can use it as a personal notebook to write down thoughts, daily journal, or use it as a virtual sketch book.
If you love to read book-club novels and take notes in the margins, this is the Kindle for you. Plus, you can also load up documents or PDF files for review, with marking up optional. In Mashable's review of the best Kindles, the Scribe earns the title of the best for taking notes.
The Kindle Scribe has a 10.2-inch screen which makes it the largest Kindle model available, and it comes with the stunning Paperwhite display and a glare-free screen.
Included with the deal, you'll get the Kindle Scribe device itself which comes with 16GB of storage, the Amazon basic pen for taking notes on the Scribe, a UBC-C charging cable, and five replacement tips for the pen.
If you've been eyeing the Kindle Scribe or you're heading back to school soon, today's deal at Best Buy marks the lowest price we've ever seen. So if you've been on the fence, now is a great time to make the call and upgrade your reading experience.
