If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade your Kindle Script, now wouldn’t be a bad time – Amazon is having its first sale on the new model, which is only available for one month. Normally $450, the 2024 Kindle Scribe is discounted by 19 percent, bringing the 64GB model down to $365. With the latest generation, Amazon has changed the look of the tablet and added AI features, as well as new note-taking options.

The second-generation Kindle Scribe has white bezels on the screen and a green (Metallic Jade) or gray (Tungsten) border, unlike the thick black border of the previous model. The discount applies to both colors and, in the gray version, all storage options (16GB, 32GB and 64GB). There, we liked the new design and found the reading and writing experience smooth.
The new Kindle Scribe uses AI to help you clean up and summarize your notes, with Summarize and Refine tools – and you can apply this to individual pages or the entire Notebook. These features have worked well for us. In her review, Engadget’s Deputy Reviews Editor Cherlynn Low found that the Author was able to “make sense of the informal strategy” she wrote by putting list items in order, and saw “very accurate results” when summarizing. his notes. “Any mistake made by the system made sense, given my bad handwriting,” he wrote.
There is also a better way to write directly to ebooks. With the 2024 Kindle Scribe, Amazon introduced Active Canvas – a small box that will appear when you place your pen on whatever you’re reading. The box can be resized and will not disappear when you leave the page. Soon you’ll also be able to write in collapsible margins, a feature expected to arrive early this year. One of our biggest gripes about the new Kindle Scribe was the relatively high cost, so if that appeals to you, don’t miss your chance to get it at a discount.
