Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.A new version of the Kindle Scribe, an upgraded version of the classic e-reader designed for note-taking, came out this past December, with some nice upgrades that make the device more pleasant to use. Those upgrades don't come cheap, with prices on the new Kindle Scribe starting at $399.99. Right now, though, the 16GB version is discounted to $324.99, the 32GB version is going for $339.99 (originally $419.99), and the 64GB version is $364.99 (originally $449.99).

If you already have the 2022 version, there really is no reason to upgrade. The main difference is the 2024 version comes with the Premium Pen instead of the Basic Pen stylus. The tablet itself is shorter, narrower, and slimmer, but not by much (you can even still use the same case). The new screen also has texture, which will add more resistance when you're writing on it for a more natural feel, and the gap between the screen and the outer casing is smaller. But that's where the differences end, at least according to PCMag's 3.5-star review.Otherwise, you'll get the same book format compatibility, the same 15.3 oz weight, the same glare-free 300 ppi front-lit display screen, and the same 12-week battery life. Both tablets run the same software. Still, if you don't own a Scribe at all and are considering getting one, the newer version is the better option, especially since it is currently cheaper than the older version.View the full article
