The Amazon Kindle Scribe 2024 has been heavily discounted to £274.99, representing a 31% saving off its £399.99 recommended retail price. According to price tracker Camelcamelcamel, this is the second-cheapest price ever for the device, only £30 higher than its lowest during Prime Day earlier this year.
Deal Details and Availability
The offer runs until August 1, but shoppers may need to act quickly as the 16GB model is already sold out at Amazon, replaced by a newer model. The deal applies to the 32GB version, which comes with the Premium Pen, and no Prime membership is required to access the price.
Henry Burrell, Deputy Technology Editor, noted: "This is a device powerful enough to last for years as a digital reader and notebook tool, whether for professional or personal use."
Features and Comparison
The Kindle Scribe 2024 features a 10.2-inch monochrome display, making it ideal for note-taking but less portable than smaller Kindles. It supports all Kindle Store e-books and allows handwritten notes directly on the screen, with text wrapping dynamically around annotations. Users can also open margins for writing, and handwritten notes are searchable thanks to regular software updates.
Compared to the newer 2025 model, which costs £449 for the same 32GB storage, the 2024 version offers identical software and an asymmetrical design that provides a comfortable grip when held in one hand.
Alternatives
A notable alternative is the reMarkable Paper Pro, an 11.8-inch tablet with a colour display and adjustable reading light. Another option is the Kobo Libra Colour at £239.99, which has a 7-inch colour screen and allows direct on-screen writing without boxes. However, its stylus is sold separately, whereas the Kindle Scribe includes the pen in the box.
