<\/a> doesn\u2019t officially start until July 16, but early deals have been trickling in for days. For instance, the well-reviewed Kindle Scribe e-reader <\/a> and includes the company\u2019s Basic Pen stylus thingamajig. All told, that\u2019s a discount of $105, making this a record-low price. The downside? This deal\u2019s only for Prime members.<\/p>\n

The Kindle Scribe easily made our list of the <\/a>. It would have nabbed the top spot, if not for the exorbitant original asking price and some stiff competition from the reMarkable 2. However, this deal makes the Scribe much cheaper than comparable products.<\/p>\n

We called the e-reader \u201cbetter than pen and paper\u201d <\/a>, specifically mentioning the low latency between stylus and tablet and the premium exterior design. The Scribe is my personal e-reader of choice and I\u2019ve stared at that thing for hundreds and hundreds of hours. I love it, but mostly as an e-reader. The extra screen real estate just feels more like reading a newly-released hardcover than those diminutive tablets out there. It\u2019s also, oddly, easy to hold with one hand when needed, despite the relatively large form factor.<\/p>\n

The writing part works great. It\u2019s a seamless experience. I just don\u2019t really use it. My handwriting is atrocious and after drawing a few pizza slices in the note-taking app, I kind of got bored. If note-taking is your bag, this certainly gets the job done. However, sharing these notes could be a bit more intuitive. There\u2019s no handwriting-to-text conversion algorithm and the software automatically syncs the notes as image files, but the only real option for editing after the fact is to convert to a PDF and head into something like Evernote.<\/p>\n
