Best Kindle deal: Save $140 on Kindle Scribe

SAVE $140: As of July 7, the Kindle Scribe is on sale for $259.99 at Amazon. That's a saving of 35% on list price.

The Kindle Scribe is one of Amazon's most popular products, and not just for book lovers. Combine an e-reader and a notebook together, and you get the Scribe. The latest redesign added the ability to write on books — big news for margin people.

And there's big pre-Prime Day news, because the Kindle Scribe is at its lowest-ever price ahead of Prime Day. Down to just $259.99, this price is for the 16GB and color tungsten option. This deal includes the Premium Pen, so you can jot down notes and convert them to text as easily as writing in a notebook.

This is a big upgrade on the basic pen, as this model comes with an eraser at the top 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 you don't need to charge it.

The Scribe has a 10.2-inch, 300 ppi Paperwhite display, glare and ink-free. Like the OG Kindle model, it's perfect for sitting outside in the sun or in hard-to-read lighting. And if you're a hectic note taker, don't worry, you can summarize your notes, as well as change their length and tone with clever built-in AI notebook tools.

Head to Amazon now and start working on that TBR list.
