Sketch and read on Kindle Scribe at the best prices yet from $235 (Cert. refurb, Orig. $340)

After recently seeing some deals on new listings that have now come and gone, Amazon is now offering even lower prices on its certified refurbished Kindle Scribe. Known as the only Amazon Kindle “for reading, writing, journaling and sketching,” you can now land “like-new” units starting from $234.99 shipped. Regularly $340 new and usually closer to $285 in refurbished condition, outside of trade-in deals, this is the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon’s most capable reader. Centered around a 10.2-inch 300 ppi glare-free Paperwhite display and the included Amazon stylus pen, it delivers all of the usual Kindle reading experience alongside the ability to take notes and create journals, doodles, sketches, and more. You can even “review and markup PDF files or create sticky notes in Microsoft Word and other compatible documents.” Get a closer look in our launch coverage and head below for more details. 

Here’s a closer look at some of the features that make the Kindle Scribe standout from the rest of the lineup:

• Convert to text & share: Easily convert, edit, and send your handwritten notebooks as text via email to your contacts
• Lasso tool: Resize, move, cut, copy, or paste your notes within and across notebooks and books
• More brush types: Try fountain pen for beautiful calligraphy, marker to emphasize notes, or pencil for sketching
• Folders & Subfolders: Create folders and subfolders to easily organize your notebooks
• Two column layout: See two pages of a book side by side while reading in landscape orientation
• Import documents: Send documents directly from Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365 subscription required)
