LIMITED TIME – 24% OFF KINDLE SCRIBE 16GB BUNDLE
Amazon has the Kindle Scribe 16Gb for $279 (Premium Pen but no case).
You can also get an extra 20% off with a trade in.
In September 2022, Amazon announced the Kindle Scribe – entering the writable eInk space and competing head-on with the Remarkable 2. I own the Remarkable 2 and I pre-ordered the Kindle Scribe. The table below is a quick summary of the differences between the Remarkable 2 v. Kindle Scribe. It’s the feature comparison chart you’re looking for (waves hands in a mysterious Jedi-like manner). If you’re after more details, I have a write-up comparison of the Remarkable v. Kindle and each individual feature and what it means here.
