Hurry, the Kindle Scribe Is Back Down to Its All-Time Low Price [CNET]
In his testing, CNET’s David Carnoy found that the Kindle Scribe “strikes a very good balance between a large-format e-reader and an E Ink note-taking tablet.” It has a 300 pixel-per-inch, front-lit, 10.2-inch, E Ink touchscreen with adjustable warm light and can provide weeks of battery life on a single charge. It’s the largest Kindle ever, but still weighs in at just under a pound. While that certainly makes it portable, you will probably want to invest in a cover that can double as a stand — which you’ll have to buy separately.

Depending on the model you get, your Scribe will come with either a standard or premium stylus. Each will adhere magnetically to the side of your Scribe and require neither power nor Bluetooth connectivity, so you’ll never have to charge it. The higher-end pen essentially works like a regular pencil — it even has a built-in eraser — and has a programmable button. You can use the stylus to mark up PDFs, and sending those documents to the device itself is easy. Note, however, that you cannot mark up Kindle ebooks or DRM-free ePub ebooks. Essentially you’ll be adding “sticky notes” to anything other than a PDF.
