Tempting...Do you guys think we will get an even better deal since most of the predictions for consumer electronics sales are bad?
I don't know, but I have it and the note taking feature is awesome, as is the ability to use it for tech and engineering books. Just don't get the basic pen as the lack of an eraser is an exercise in frustration at best.

Why would anyone choose to pay $300+ instead of ipad or any other tablets with kindle app? I do have 6 inch kindle and like it because of size and easy to hold while reading and obviously the price. Does 10 inch kindle gives similar feel?
I keep hoping we're going to eventually get some color e-ink. Looks like a few brands are starting to make inroads this year. As much as I really want the 10" form factor mostly for manga and such, I don't feel the need to upgrade from my Paperwhite Signature yet.

Boox has a color e-ink, but battery life is an issue.

I have an iPad Pro with the pencil. It's cool and for drawing and such it is great. Note taking to me has been a bit hit or miss on the iPad though.
With the scribe there are a few reasons to grab it.
1. You get weeks on a single charge.
2. Each E-Book can have it's own notebook so it is great for school or training manuals.
3. Much easier to read on long term.
4. Note taking or writing is much closer to a paper like experience than the iPad.
5. No distractions when you're trying to study.
Personally I find the paper white screen too small for quite a bit of the available media.

For a note taking device, you just place it on the desk instead of holding it.
Why would I want to read or take notes with a heavy device that has glass reflections and direct lights shining into my eyes? The best thing about Kindles is that I can turn off the backlight (OK, some of you insists it's a frontlight) and turn on my desk lamp like reading a paper book with indirect light sources. Also, rumors have it future iPads will switch to OLED panels, PWM flickering will become another issue if it happened.
Besides, writing on a glass screen with an Apple Pencil feels terrible and is super noisy. Most note taking devices simulate the texture of a piece of paper.

I would love the larger screen size. However, I currently own a kindle oasis and to turn that in for 20% credit isn't worth it. If Amazon is going to offer credits, it should be dependent on the model. Big difference between an outdated $50 kindle and a $250 Oasis.
Personally, I'm gonna wait a couple of months before pulling the trigger on an Amazon Scribe device.
I have an iPad Pro 10.5 with a pen, and I applied the paperlike screen protector, which improves the writing feeling. For distractions, I created a Reading Focus where I paused all the notifications. For extended reading writing sessions on research pdf, I agree, the screen reflections and the blue light really screw my eyes.

I agree and if my paper white weren't from 5 years ago, I probably wouldn't have done that either.
