Amazon simply launched the Kindle Scribe 2 one month in the past at present, and now it’s already on sale at a big low cost. That is definitely going to make those who pre-ordered and paid full value a bit indignant.
The new Kindle Scribe can now be had for as little as $324.99, and you will get an extra 20% off with a trade-in. You can too get 10% again when paying with a Prime Visa card.
That’s the worth of the 16GB mannequin. The 32GB mannequin is $339.99 and the 64GB model is $364.99, so if you would like the Metallic Jade shade it’s solely $40 greater than the bottom model, and it’s $35 inexpensive than the bottom mannequin when it’s not on sale.
For those who’re questioning what modifications Amazon made to the Kindle Scribe 2, I posted a record of variations evaluating the 2022 Scribe with the brand new 2024 mannequin. They actually didn’t change a lot in any respect. In actual fact, they modified so little the brand new mannequin isn’t even thought of a brand new technology.
Amazon added some new software program options to the Kindle Scribe 2 (which had been additionally ported to the primary gen mannequin with the final software program replace). They added some AI instruments (the textual content conversion characteristic truly works effectively and appears good), together with the power to write down instantly on most ebooks with the brand new Energetic Canvas characteristic.
The Kindle Scribe nonetheless will get plenty of flack for a scarcity of notetaking options in comparison with the competitors, nevertheless it’s a a lot better ereader than most different eNotes. Each time somebody brings up the Outstanding they often fail to say it has the worst studying software program available on the market.
I nonetheless can’t assist however assume the entire motive Amazon launched the Kindle Scribe was so they might promote covers and alternative styluses or $80-$100 every. Outstanding set the precedent for promoting equipment for an absolute fortune, and a few individuals are truly prepared to pay these astronomical costs for styli and covers that in all probability value these corporations a couple of bucks to make. Fortunately you will get third-party covers and styli for a lot cheaper.
