The second-generation Kindle Scribe is finally on sale, which makes it the perfect time to purchase this e-notebook. In the United States the 16GB model is $324.99 and if you need more storage the 32GB model is $339.99 and the 64GB version is $364.99. Each device comes in a few colors and ships with the new Scribe Premium pen, which has a nice rubber eraser and a multipurpose button that can be mapped to do many things. The Kindle Scribe 2 is also available in Canada, but only the 64GB model is discounted. The regular price is $569.99, but can be yours for $479.99.
The Kindle Scribe 2 big selling point is its design. It has been modified from the original to look more like a ledger. It also has a new jade color to make it stand out in a crowd. The screen has been changed to allow more torque from the new stylus, which also received a minor revision: the tips are new, and it has a rubber eraser.
The software has been drastically changed, too. A new AI-driven notebook quickly summarizes pages and notes into concise bullet points in a handwritten-style font that can be shared from the notebook tab. You can also refine your notes in a handwritten-style font so they’re legible while maintaining the look and feel of handwriting.
Another standout feature is Active Canvas; you can write your thoughts directly into the book when inspiration strikes. Your note becomes part of the page, and the book’s text dynamically flows around it—whether you increase the font size, change the font style, or change the book layout, the note stays visible exactly where you want it, so you never lose any meaning or context. You’ll also be able to write your notes in the side panel and easily hide them when you’re done.
