The darkness has arrived. When we pushed the clocks back, sunset moved up by an hour and that means it's completely dark by 5 p.m. for much of the U.S. If that leaves you feeling ready for bed by 6 p.m., you've probably considered cozying up on the couch with a good book. If you're one to take notes while reading this month's book club pick, there's a certain Kindle with features you'll like and it's on sale today.

As of Nov. 10, a like-new Kindle Scribe (64GB) is on sale for $278.99 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $404.99. That works out to a 31% discount that takes a nice $126 off the norm.

Kindles are some of the best e-readers on the market and buying a refurbished model is a great way to dive into e-books on a discount. On Mashable's list of the best Kindles, the 2024 version of the Kindle Scribe earns the top spot as the best model for taking notes. That applies for both students, professionals, and casual readers. Students can take advantage of note-taking in the margins of class-assigned books and even textbooks. Book-club members will be able to mark favorite sections and important passages for discussion.

The Kindle Scribe comes with a Premium Pen for all your note-taking desires. You can also access PDFs and documents on the Kindle Scribe, as well as books, so you'll be in great shape for marking up any text.

Amazon equipped the Scribe with an anti-glare display that measures 10.2 inches. Its thin dimensions and lightweight nature makes this a travel-friendly device that'll be great for taking to campus, to a work meeting, or on upcoming holiday travel.

While it's sitting at an all-time low price, snag a refurbished 64GB Kindle Scribe that's in like-new condition. Amazon offers the same warranty on this model as it does on new Scribes. They also upgrade software and test the battery, giving you extra reassurance when buying a pre-loved model.
