The latest version of the Kindle Scribe, an upgraded version of the classic e-reader designed for note-taking, came out in December 2024, offering some nice upgrades that make the device more pleasant to use. Those upgrades don't come cheap, however, with prices on the new Kindle Scribe starting at $399.99. The 32GB version is going for $282.99 (originally $419.99 for a new version), and the 64GB version is $305.99 (originally $449.99 for a new version). The original Kindle Scribe first came out in 2022; that version is currently $369.99 for the 16GB model with the Premium Pen, which puts how good a deal this is in perspective: You can get the three-years-newer model for less. The new screen also has texture, which will add some resistance when you're writing on it, for a more natural feel.
