That is sort of bizarre. I attempted to search out the essential pen for the Kindle Scribe on Amazon’s web site this morning, and it’s prefer it doesn’t exist anymore.
It doesn’t flip up in search outcomes and when you observe an outdated hyperlink for the essential stylus is simply goes to the itemizing for the Premium Pen.
They used to have the choice to decide on the essential pen or the premium pen on that web page, however now there’s no approach to decide on the essential pen in any respect. There isn’t the choice to purchase it used like with the premium pen. It doesn’t say it’s out of inventory or something like that. It’s simply gone.
Possibly it’s but one other glitch with the system, or possibly they’ve discontinued it.
You continue to have the choice to get the essential pen when shopping for the 16GB Kindle Scribe, however it’s not out there to buy individually for some purpose.
At $29.99, it was one of many least costly Wacom styluses in the marketplace so it’s unlucky to see it go, however possibly it’ll come again. Most alternative Wacom styli for eNotes are ridiculously overpriced, like Onyx’s $89 stylus and Exceptional’s $129 stylus (even their fundamental one is $79).
I nonetheless suppose there’s an outdoor likelihood Amazon will launch a Kindle Scribe 2 later this 12 months, and possibly that is an early signal that’s going to occur. They’d in all probability launch a brand new redesigned pen with a brand new mannequin, or possibly they’ll drop the essential pen choice altogether. Both approach it’s odd to abruptly cease promoting an adjunct for a product that also exists, however the premium pen remains to be out there to buy so I suppose it’s not an enormous deal, despite the fact that it prices twice as a lot as the essential pen.
