If you’re in search of a budget-friendly option to the new Kindle Scribe, we have some exciting news: the first-generation model is currently available at a significantly reduced price compared to its successor. Typically priced at $349.99 for a new unit, Amazon is offering it refurbished, complete with 16GB of storage, a Basic Pen, and a one-year warranty for just $233.99 as part of a limited-time lightning deal. Additionally, you can purchase the model with 32GB of storage for $259.99 at Amazon.
Both of Amazon’s note-taking e-readers feature a spacious 10.2-inch display with 300 ppi and an adjustable warm light. The latest Scribe enhances the user experience with thinner bezels, a textured display, and a soft-tipped Premium Pen. Notably, the original model can also access the new software features via a free download. This means that regardless of which e-reader you choose, you can write notes directly on pages and utilize advanced AI features, including AI-generated summaries and handwriting refinement tools. The main distinction is that the new Scribe includes these functionalities pre-installed.
