If you're a student, you travel often, or you're a voracious reader, you could be a perfect fit for an e-reader. Instead of needing to buy (and store) tons of physical books, these small tablet-like devices allow you to read digital books. Kindle has a long been a leader in the industry, and thanks to today's deal at Amazon, you can save when buying two Kindle Scribes.
As of Sept. 10, two Kindle Scribe devices with basic pen are on sale at Amazon for $639.98, down from the list price of $679.98 for two. That's a savings of $40.
The Kindle Scribe can be perfect for those who want an e-reader but also like to take notes in the margin of books, sketch, or jot down their thoughts. In addition to serving as an e-reader the included basic pen means you can mark up a textbook or write a note in a novel to discuss at book club. If you're working on a PDF for work, add notes for co-workers to chat about during your next meeting.
Mashable's analysis of the best Kindle mentions the Scribe is the best option if you like to take notes.
With a 10.2-inch screen, the Kindle Scribe earns bragging rights as the largest Kindle display — twice the size of the Kindle Paperwhite. It's also large enough to read pages side-by-side when in landscape mode. The device also comes with an impressive battery, getting weeks of life before it needs to recharge.
If your handwriting isn't the best, no worries. You'll be able to convert your handwritten notes into text before sending them off to classmates or coworkers.
Keep in mind the Kindle Scribe isn't waterproof, so it might not be the best option if you spend the summer reading poolside. However, our favorite version, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, comes with waterproofing, so look into that option if you'll be near water often.
Throughout the year, Amazon offers plenty of perks for those who own a Kindle like the recent Stuff Your Kindle Day which offered thousands of titles for free. There's also the Amazon First Reads program which also offers free books.
If you and a family member, a friend, or a coworker could benefit from the functionality of the Kindle Scribe, today is a great time to save $40 when buying two devices. Happy reading!
