A fantastic array of Amazon devices are already seeing official Prime Big Deal Days 2025 price cuts, including Amazon’s most premium e-reader: the Kindle Scribe. For a limited time, the Kindle Scribe, complete with Amazon’s Premium Pen, is available for $100 off.
To maximize your savings, consider the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle. This package, which includes the Premium Pen, a Fabric Folio case, and a power adapter, is now $315 (originally $480) for the 16GB version. Opt for the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle with a Leather Folio case, and it drops to $337 (from $500).
Both the standalone Kindle Scribe and the Leather Folio Essentials Bundles are eligible for Amazon’s exceptional trade-in program. This deal offers an additional 20% discount on top of your old device’s trade-in value. This means you could save at least $230 on the Leather Folio Essentials Bundle! While these bundle deals are exclusive to Prime members, all shoppers can enjoy the $100 discount on the standalone Kindle Scribe and utilize the trade-in option.
Beyond the Kindle Scribe, you can also browse other Prime Big Deal Days Kindle book sales and take advantage of subscriptions such as Kindle Unlimited and Audible Premium Plus. Details are below.
It’s worth noting that the 2024 Kindle Scribe won’t hold its ‘priciest model’ title for long. Amazon recently unveiled the next generation of its hybrid e-reader and note-taking device. The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, the first in the series to feature color e-ink, will launch at $630. The standard 2025 Kindle Scribe edition, with a 32GB model and front light, is set to start at $500. Both new models are expected to arrive before the end of the year, with a Kindle Scribe without a front light following early next year for $430.
Amazon highlights that the upcoming Kindle Scribe models will be thinner and faster, boasting 11-inch screens, a slight increase from the current 10.2-inch models. If the $500 price tag for the new Scribe is too steep, the current 2024 edition remains an excellent device and is now $200 cheaper than its successor.

Beyond reading, the Scribe functions as a digital notebook.
