For the annotators among us, the Kindle Scribe is available for $254.99, or 25% off its retail price.

The best Prime Day Kindle deals
Reading? Writing? There's a Kindle for every need
While other e-readers exist, Amazon's Kindle line has practically become synonymous with the new-aged reading method. Kindle devices use sharp, 300 pixels-per-inch E ink displays to simulate the comfort of reading actual ink on paper.
There's still something special about thumbing through the pages of a traditional book, but you can't beat the utility of a Kindle. Even with just 8GB of storage, these devices can hold thousands of your favorite Kindle titles (you can buy those individually or choose from the thousands included with a monthly Kindle Unlimited subscription).
Most Kindle readers offer the same essential experience but to varying degrees of comfort. They are easy to read in direct lighting, including harsh sun. You can't say that for most tablets.
Some screens are bigger than others, ranging from 6 inches to 6.8 inches. And if you opt for models like the Kindle Paperwhite, you'll get built-in warm light features for nighttime reading and a waterproof design. The Oasis is notable for its super slim build and page turn buttons.
But the most exciting upgrade came with the Kindle Scribe, the first to offer handwriting capabilities on a notebook-sized 10.2-inch Paperwhite display. You can digitally annotate any section of any book using the included pen. Read more on this model in our Kindle Scribe review.
