Joining an ongoing price drop on the new Fire Max 11 tablet, Amazon has now kicked off a back to school Kindle reader sale. The discount event is headlined by some of the best price drops yet on the stylus-equipped Kindle Scribe that launched at the tail end of last year and is now starting at $279.99 shipped for the 16GB variant. Regularly $330, you’re looking at a solid $60 in savings and the lowest price we can find. Today’s deal comes in at $10 under our pre-Prime Day mentions and marks the second lowest total we have tracked – it went for $255 during the limited 2-day festivities last month. For those unfamiliar here, this model delivers the usual Kindle reading experience enhanced with the ability to take handwritten notes, lists, and journal entries via the included stylus Pen. It is Amazon’s most feature-packed reader to date centered around a 10.2-inch 300 ppi glare-free Paperwhite display while allowing users to “use the four brush types to write and sketch on included templates like lined paper, grid paper, checklists, and more.” Get a closer look in our launch coverage and head below for more Kindle deals.
