Best Kindle deal: Save $60 on Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle

SAVE $60: As of June 26, this Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle is on sale for $489.97 at Amazon. That's a saving of 11% on the list price.

The Kindle Scribe bundle is back on sale, and we couldn't be happier with this pre-Prime Day treat. The Kindle Scribe was released last year and has quickly become a fan favorite in the Kindle lineup. Not only can you read your favorite books, but you can now take notes and write on books.

As of June 26, the bundle is priced at just $489.99 (for the 64GB model), down from $549.99. The deal comes with the Premium Pen so you can jot down notes and convert them to text as easily as writing in a notebook. Unlike the basic pen, this model comes with an eraser so you can quickly remove mistakes just by flipping the pen. It is also battery-free and works through a special power source embedded in the Kindle Scribe, so there is no need to charge it.

With the bundle, you also get a 9W power adapter and a plant-based leather folio to store it away. According to Amazon, the plant-based leather is made from 76% renewable bio-materials (non-GMO corn and viscose fiber from Forest Stewardship Council-certified sources) and 24% polyurethane. The jade is currently sold out, so the only color option is black.

Alongside its note-taking abilities, the Kindle Scribe has a 10.2-inch 300 ppi Paperwhite display, glare-free and ink-free. So, like the original Kindle, it's perfect for sitting outside in the sun or harsh lighting. And if you're someone who reads on the go a lot, the Scribe has the best battery life of any model, promising to last months on a single charge.
