Someone writing on the Kindle Scribe.

If you're looking for Kindle deals to buy from this year's Prime Day tablet deals, you should take advantage of Amazon's offer for the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle. For only $315, you'll get the 32GB model of the Kindle Scribe, the e-book reader's Premium Pen, a folio leather cover, and a power adapter. That's a $175 discount on the bundle's original price of $490, but we're not sure if the bargain will make it to the last minute of the shopping holiday. If you're interested in this package, we highly recommend that you proceed with the purchase immediately.

 
Why you should buy the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle

You'll still be able to buy and download e-books from Amazon's Kindle Store, and its auto-adjusting backlight and adjustable warm light will make sure that you're going to have a comfortable reading experience, no matter the time of the day. The Kindle Scribe has a USB-C port for charging, but you won't be using it much because its battery can last up to three weeks.
