The Kindle Scribe is worth considering if you’re heading back to school, as its large 10.2-inch screen can display textbooks and ebooks, or let you jot down handwritten notes during class. Now through August 8th, the first-gen model (with a Premium Pen) is down to just $149.99 with 16GB of storage in refurbished condition at Woot when you apply the promo code KINDLE25 at checkout. That’s $220 off its original launch price from 2022 and even cheaper than the current Kindle Paperwhite, though you’ll only get Woot’s 90-day warranty. Woot doesn’t specify the exact condition of its refurbished devices, but it does offer a brief explanation here of what to expect.
Kindle Scribe (16GB)
Where to Buy:
The Kindle Scribe features a sharp 300ppi E Ink display that’s glare-free and supports adjustable color temperatures, making it easy to read whether you’re outside in the sun or studying late at night. Like all other Kindles, the Scribe gives you quick and easy access to Amazon’s massive store of digital books, so you can switch between assigned reading and your favorite novels without carrying multiple books or devices. It’s not waterproof like the Kindle Paperwhite, though, so you’ll want to keep it away from the pool and be careful when it rains.
It’s also a solid digital notebook, with the device offering a variety of pre-made templates for everything from lined paper and planners to to-do lists. After updating the software, the original Kindle Scribe also includes the same AI-powered note-taking features as the newer models, allowing you to jot down notes directly on compatible ebook pages, summarize and refine your handwritten notes, generate AI-powered summaries, and more.
