Get a like-new Kindle Scribe for $175 cheaper than a brand-new device
SAVE $105: As of Oct. 15, you can grab a like-new Kindle Scribe with 64GB at Amazon for only $244.99. As a refurbished model, it's typically priced at $349.99 — so that's 30% cheaper than usual. A new Scribe costs $419.99, so you'll save $175 total by going with a refurbished model.
The Kindle deals during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event were pretty dang good. But if you missed out, it's no sweat. You can grab a like-new Kindle Scribe for an even better price on this random Wednesday in October.
As of Oct. 15, the 2022 Kindle Scribe with 64GB is only $244.99 at Amazon. The only catch? It's a refurbished model in like-new condition. Amazon has tested, updated, cleaned, and inspected this device to ensure it's as good as if you bought it brand new. For comparison purposes, buying a brand-new Kindle Scribe with the same amount of storage would cost you $419.99. So you're saving $175 by opting for a refurbished model.
The Scribe is the only Kindle device that gives you the ability to take notes. It includes a premium pen for jotting down your thoughts and annotating in the margins of books as if you were writing in an actual notebook. It's also a bit bigger than a typical Kindle at 10.2 inches, making it a solid choice for someone with vision issues. "Overall, as an e-reader, the Kindle Scribe is quite good," Mashable's Alex Perry writes in his review. However, it has some lag issues that make the typical $419.99 price tag hard to justify. At only $244.99, on the other hand, we're much more inclined to recommend it. Amazon guarantees that it's certified to look and work like it's new, and it even comes with the same warranty as a new device.
If you're looking to buy a Kindle and want the ability to mark up readings, now's the time to add the Scribe to your cart.
