Amazon’s having it’s first-ever book sale next week (23-28 April), and has some early Kindle deals to celebrate. I’ve spotted a fantastic price drop on one of the shopping giant’s best e-readers – the Kindle Scribe. It’s Amazon’s e-ink tablet, which makes it a cross between a Kindle and an iPad.

If you want to take things to the next level with some hand-drawn annotations, note-taking, and doodling, the Kindle Scribe is perfect. We gave it a decent three stars out of five in our review.

On Amazon UK, you can get a whopping 26% off the 2022-released 16GB Kindle Scribe e-ink tablet, bringing its price down to a more affordable £245 from its £330 RRP – a tasty £85 discount. In fact, it’s a better offer than the one I saw in Amazon’s recent Spring Sale.

The newer Kindle Scribe release from 2024 is also reduced by £85 – down from £380 to £295. It’s a better device, but if you’d rather save the extra £50, the older one will still serve you well. On Amazon US, the newer Kindle Scribe sees a slightly lower discount of 19% – down from $450 to $365.

This Kindle Scribe offers a high-definition 10.2-inch, 300ppi display. It’s an illuminated e-ink screen, as large as most tablets on the market (and bigger than other Kindles). That makes the device perfect for jotting down quick notes or scribbling annotations. Amazon reckons it feels just like writing on paper, but I’m not quite convinced on that one.

The newer model comes with a redesigned display, where the highlight is uniform borders. It’s also slightly faster and has a more premium body.

Elsewhere, you can save 15% on the Kindle Paperwhite for Kids. Amazon has slashed its price from £170 to £145 – which isn’t the biggest saving, but is still nice to have. This device is a sturdier and more colourful version of the popular Paperwhite with kid-friendly features.

Whether you’re an avid reader yourself or there’s an important bookworm in your life, if you’re in the market for a new e-reader, don’t miss these amazing deals.
