A selection of Amazon gadgets are currently marked down to official Prime Day 2025 rates, featuring the most expensive digital reader in the popular Kindle series. The latest Kindle Scribe has undergone a significant reduction of $140, bringing the versatile e-reader and journaling e-ink tablet to its lowest price since its release last December. Additionally, you could save even more—up to $220 overall—by choosing the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle.
New Kindle owners will likely prefer to select the bundle, but if you’re upgrading to a latest Kindle, you might consider passing on the bundle due to a trade-in offer mentioned below. The Kindle Scribe promotions are available exclusively for Prime subscribers.
Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle with Premium Pen
Save up to $220
The Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle includes Amazon’s Premium Pen ($80 worth), the official Fabric Folio Cover ($60 worth), and a 9W power adapter for Amazon gadgets ($20 worth). You can select between Black, Denim, and Rose colors for the cover,
while the tablet itself is Tungsten. The casing safeguards the screen and features an integrated stand with various viewing perspectives.
All three storage options qualify for the Prime Day promotion: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Each level is distinguished by merely $15-$25, so if you intend to utilize your Kindle Scribe for storing and enjoying audiobooks via Audible, opting for the 32GB or 64GB versions may be prudent.

The Kindle Scribe showcases a 10.2-inch illuminated display with an anti-glare layer, allowing you to read in any light condition. With 300ppi (pixels per inch) and 94 nits of brightness, the text appears sharp and distinct.
This Scribe also serves as a traditional notebook. Using the Premium Pen, you can generate handwritten notes and send them to various devices. It feels remarkably akin to jotting down on real paper. You’re also able to annotate in books and documents you are perusing. If you enjoy writing notes in the margins of novels, the Scribe is the perfect ereader for you.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem logical to buy the non-bundle version of the Kindle Scribe during Prime Day. The 16GB variant is merely $10 cheaper than the bundle version; the 32GB variant is $5 less; and the 64GB version is, in fact, priced the same. So why would you consciously forgo the $60 Fabric Folio and $20 AC adapter?
You likely shouldn’t unless you possess a device that can be traded in for the new Scribe. The non-bundle model qualifies for an additional 20% discount if you trade in a device. Your old Kindle is an obvious candidate, but Amazon also accepts various devices, including Fire tablets, Fire TV Sticks, and even certain Apple products.
With a trade-in, you’ll obtain the value of that device and an extra 20% discount on your new acquisition. That’s a significant saving. Trade-in values can vary greatly, but the additional 20% amounts to $52 to $62–and that’s automatic. Here are the adjusted prices, excluding your trade-in.
- 16GB — $208
- 32GB — $224
- 64GB — $248
It doesn’t matter if you trade in a Fire Stick valued at $3 or the original Kindle Scribe 16GB model for $85. However, it’s notable that if you possess the original 2022 Scribe and wish to upgrade, that $85 figure is what Amazon provided me, effectively reducing the price of the 2024 model to $123.

If you take advantage of the Kindle Scribe promotion and have yet to try Kindle Unlimited, you can get your initial three months at no cost, granting access to a repository of over 4 million books, comics, graphic novels, manga, and more.
Several Kindle Unlimited selections also feature audiobook renditions that can be enjoyed on your Kindle. However, for an even broader array of audiobooks, you should explore Audible Premium Plus, particularly since the $15/month subscription plan is complimentary for your first three months, as well. With Audible Premium Plus, you can claim and retain one audiobook of your choice. New releases and even preorders qualify, so Prime members should seize this opportunity.
Amazon is presently providing significant reductions on Kindle ebooks in advance of the July 8-11 sales event, enabling you to complement your new ereader with some affordable books.
And if you intend to enjoy audiobooks on the Kindle Scribe, Amazon’s Echo Buds with noise cancellation technology are on sale for just $45, reduced from $140. These Bluetooth earbuds can effortlessly connect wirelessly with Kindle ereaders and other Bluetooth-capable devices.
