Kindle Scribe deal: Amazon’s 64GB bundle is now $647.95 for Prime members

Looking for one device that can replace half the things cluttering up your desk?

A notebook, a stack of printed documents, a Kindle, several pens you inevitably lose and, depending on how chaotic your handbag is, possibly three receipts you have been carrying around since March.

That is where the Kindle Scribe comes in, and right now Amazon Australia has a deal making is easier for you to add one to your daily routine.

The Kindle Scribe 64GB bundle is currently $647.95 on Amazon Australia, down from $878.90.

That is a 26 per cent saving, and the bundle includes the Kindle Scribe itself, an Italian plant-based leather cover and a black power adaptor.

The catch is that this price is exclusive to Amazon Prime members, so you will need to make sure your Prime membership is active when you check out.

The Scribe is essentially Amazon’s answer to the problem of wanting the convenience of digital reading without giving up the satisfying act of writing things down.

Its 10.2-inch, 300 ppi glare-free display is designed for reading and writing, with a front-lit screen that can be used indoors or outside.

It also looks considerably more like a notebook than a traditional tablet. The redesigned flush-front display has uniform white borders, while the included Premium Pen is designed to replicate the feel of writing on paper.

There is no charging or complicated set-up required for the pen, so you can start scribbling as soon as you open the box.

And this is where the Kindle Scribe gets particularly useful for anyone who has ever opened a book and immediately reached for their phone to make a note.

With Active Canvas, you can write directly onto a book page and the Scribe creates space for your handwriting. You can expand the margins when you have more to say, then collapse them again when you want to return to the original page.

Beyond reading, it doubles as a digital notebook. You can use it for meeting notes, shopping lists, journalling, brainstorming or the endless collection of thoughts that usually end up scattered between the Notes app and scraps of paper.

Handwritten notes can also be converted into text and emailed to yourself or your contacts.
