If you’re thinking about getting a Kindle Scribe, Amazon has some early Prime Day deals on Kindle Scribe bundles, and an Amazon Prime membership is not required to get the discount.
The prices of the bundle packages are much lower than the price of just buying a Kindle Scribe on its own, so it makes zero sense buying the non-bundles at this point.
Here’s the list of deals:
- Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle 16GB Basic Pen – $271.97 ($168 off)
- Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle 16GB Premium Pen – $289.97 ($180 off)
- Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle 32GB Premium Pen – $314.97 ($175 off)
- Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle 64GB Premium Pen – $324.00 ($195.97 off)
You can also get an additional 20% off those sale prices by trading in an old Kindle. Even if it’s broken Amazon will give you $5 for it and 20% off a new Kindle.
If you want to hold out for Prime Day, the Kindle Scribe will most likely be cheaper on its own, but if you want a bundle now is the time to get one. Amazon won’t suddenly lower the prices of these bundles even more for Prime Day—that’s not how they do these kind of sales. Amazon tends to do sales like this leading up to Prime Day and Black Friday to turn it into a month-long event instead of just having sales for a couple of days.
Amazon will probably have some other Kindle sales leading up to Prime Day as well. I’ll post all the Kindle-related deals here on this blog to keep track of them.
Can you believe that Amazon Mexico still doesn’t carry the Scribe?
At this point, yeah, I can believe it.
Hi Nathan thank you for your work on this website, always fantastic. If you find the time could you please update us on the feature list of sideloaded vs sent PDFs and maybe other files? thanks Nathan.
Sideloaded PDFs still don’t support any type of writing, but I think they ported over all the features that were available for sideloaded PDFs to sent PDFs. I’ll have to double check.
A youtuber called “The Inktelligent” has just posted a video covering exactly what you were asking about here. I was impressed that it goes into detail about what you get in sideloaded PDFs too as a lot of reviewers only assume you’re using send to kindle or even skip over the PDF experience on the scribe entirely! Why do so many people think nobody is reading PDFs on these large screen e-ink devices!
