This is an absolutely screaming deal specifically for the 64GB bundle that includes premium pen, leather folio cover, and power adapter in addition to the 64GB Scribe. Cheaper than lower grade bundles and even cheaper than the 64GB Scribe sold by itself.

The 64GB bundle is right now priced at $325.97

WIth trade-in, you get 20% off plus value of trade-in. I traded in a DX which only has a value of $5 (which is admittedly is daylight robbery) but the 20% off makes it quasi respectable. So without the trade-in value but including 20% discount, final price is about $260

All said, best deal for a scribe I've seen so far.

At this time, this is not a repost. This specific scribe bundle is better than the current 15% discount.

I have a current model Oasis and am itching to "upgrade" it but the scribe seems like it's built for a whole different use case. Maybe if I were back in grad school or something I could justify it, but as you point out, I don't think the scribe is gonna be good for holding in one hand for reading, especially as it has no physical buttons.

As annoying as it is for the Oasis to be the supposed flagship kindle device and yet not have a recent refresh, I guess I'll keep putting up with its micro-usb port and comparatively antiquated processor. That paperwhite *signature* has been tempting a couple of times, but, again, it's still more a gussied up midrange device than a premium one. I wonder if the Oasis is just in a peculiar class with too little demand for Amazon to do anything with.
just did the purchase.

If everything goes planed, here is the breakdown:
Paid $326+$26 tax=$352.
Should receive $75 gift card (from previous gen oasis) + $64 discount + $20 cashback from some site + $16 cashback from my amazon card = $175
Net is $177

7inch -> 10inch
8gb->64gb
no pen -> premium pen

great deal.

Quote from phocean :
Sorry to here it. I have the cover but I don't like it too much... Scribe is already heavy and the case makes it more like a ipad ... you can clearly see this from the open design of the case which allow you to take Scribe out easily.

Is there a better choice for case?

Not that I found, most state to heavy.

Quote from dcjenkins71 :
I noticed the gap on product images as well, prior to purchasing. I believe it's just how it's made; apart from the occasional truly defective ones. That's probably a major contributor to why they couldn't make the Scribe water-proof.

Just wanted to share that I got the replacement Scribe today and sure enough, there is a gap on the new one also, although not as wide. I now think this is a design flaw. I decided to keep the new one and return the old one for now and see how it is. The good news is that I started a return for the case because I really don't like it and will be getting $44 back. It's not worth half that IMHO. Heavy, cheap, top fold with a bottom pen holder is a pretty odd design. The even better news is that I started a return for the power brick and they made it "returnless". Got $12+ back and got to keep the power brick...which I don't really need, but free is free. $210 or so after tax in the end. Going to spend $12 on a simple clear case.

Somebody in reddit said he use two stylus nibs for just 60 pages of writing. Can somebody confirm? I know nib is consumable but that is a bit too little usage.

Nib replacement will cost a lot than books that can replace.

How did you return the cover and charger? I thought they were sold as a bundle and you couldn't return individual items.

Every item is separate, and you just have to push the return button on the app.

Returning the case and charger for close to $60 back. Even better. Brings down the cost of the top device (including my trade in and reward points) to $140.

You can return cover and charger.
Makes it around $200 + tax after trade-in coupon (trade in can be cancelled later) and after cover and charger return.

Large gap around the screen is real. It is about 1mm, you can see internal frame. It will easily collect dirt, and even little spill can damage it. There is no rubber gasket between screen and metal frame.

Wonder if this is affecting all units. Design flaw? Anyone notice this on display units at BestBuy? Are there any third party products to remedy this? Like a screen cover with rubber gasket?

Maybe that's why they clearing them out?
