Woot Cuts Refurbished Kindle Scribe to $149.99, Undercutting Paperwhite by $220

2 articles · Updated · The Verge · Aug 3

Summary

  • $149.99 buys a refurbished first-generation Kindle Scribe with Premium Pen and 16GB at Woot through Aug. 8 when shoppers use code KINDLE25.
  • The deal slices $220 off the 2022 launch price, making the 10.2-inch E Ink device cheaper than Amazon's current Kindle Paperwhite.
  • The first-gen Scribe doubles as an e-reader and digital notebook, with the included stylus supporting handwritten notes, annotations and built-in erasing.
  • A software update also gives the older model AI note features found on newer Scribes, including note summaries and refinement, though buyers get only Woot's 90-day warranty and no waterproofing.
