Amazon makes arguably some of the best e-readers around — but if you really want to get that classic pen-and-paper feel, many of our RS Recs editors swear by their Kindle Scribe. If you’ve been eyeing it for a while, now is finally the time to add to cart, because the Scribe is at its lowest price ever right now ahead of Father’s Day.

Amazon just dropped the price of its premium note-taking e-reader by a full $100, bringing the base model down to just $299.99 —the deepest discount we’ve ever been. Whether you’ve been wanting a distraction-free writing device, a digital notebook, or just a supersized Kindle for reading and annotating, this deal is hard to pass up.

Unlike the standard Kindle lineup, the Scribe is built for more than just reading. It features a crisp, matte 10.2-inch Paperwhite display that’s easy on the eyes almost entirely glare free, even in bright sunlight. It also comes with Amazon’s Premium Pen, which allows you to take notes directly on books, mark up PDFs, or write in a dedicated notebook feature. We also heavily suggest pairing it with a Kindle magnetic cover with your purchase, especially if you want to set your Scribe down in stand mode or a different orientation as you read.

Students, professionals, and creatives alike love it for convenience features like converting handwriting to text, creating multiple notebooks, or even templates for to-do lists and journaling. The latest updates to the Scribe have even added the ability to put sticky notes in books and generate AI summaries, making your e-reader smarter than ever. In our previous review, we used the Scribe daily for a week with only minimal battery drainage. This is super convenient if you’re on vacation and don’t want the hassle of carrying your Kindle charger on the go. And, since the attached pen never needs to be charged (no, really) it means you can continue to write or take notes without worrying about the stylus dying out on you.

Speaking of the pen, we’re impressed with how easy it is to use — there was virtually no lag when we tried writing with it, giving us the impression of taking pen to paper. The dedicated eraser on the back make it easy to conceal any mistakes, too. Other than PDFs and DOCs, the Kindle Scribe supports a wide variety of file formats, including TXT, DOCX, HTML, and EPUb (check here for the full list). It also, of course, works with Audible, so you’ll be able to access your audiobooks on this device as well.

With Father’s Day just around the corner, this price drop couldn’t be better timed. If you’re thinking ahead for a thoughtful gift — or just want to upgrade your own reading setup — this is one of the biggest discounts we’ve seen on any Kindle. And for those planning to buy more than one (maybe one for you, one for dad), Amazon is also offering an extra $40 off when you buy two.
