During the Prime Big Deal Days 2025, Amazon is offering significant discounts on many of its devices, including the premium Kindle Scribe. The Kindle Scribe with Premium Pen is currently available for $100 off for a limited time. Further savings are possible with the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle, which bundles the Premium Pen, a Fabric Folio case, and a power adapter. For instance, the 16GB Essentials Bundle is reduced to $315 (originally $480). A Leather Folio Essentials Bundle is also discounted to $337, originally priced at $500.
Both the standalone Kindle Scribe and the Leather Folio Essentials Bundles qualify for Amazon`s trade-in program, offering an additional 20% discount on top of your device`s trade-in value. This can lead to substantial savings, potentially exceeding $230 on the Leather Folio Essentials Bundle. While the bundle offers are for Prime members only, the $100 discount on the standalone Kindle Scribe and the trade-in option are available to all customers.
Upcoming Kindle Scribe Models
The current 2024 Kindle Scribe model is set to be surpassed in price by upcoming versions. Amazon recently announced the next generation of its ereader and note-taking hybrid, featuring the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, which will introduce color e-ink to the series for $630. A standard 2025 Kindle Scribe with a front light and 32GB storage will begin at $500, with both new models expected to launch by year-end. An entry-level Kindle Scribe without a front light is slated for early next year, priced at $430.
The newly announced Kindle Scribe models are touted as being thinner, faster, and featuring larger 11-inch screens compared to the current 10.2-inch versions. For those interested in the Scribe`s capabilities but hesitant about the $500 price tag of the new models, the 2024 edition presents an excellent value, being $200 less expensive than its upcoming successor.
