I got one then realized that I didn't actually have a real use for it (too heavy to use as an e reader and I already had an iPad workflow for docs) and so went to return it, and the ONLY option they offered was UPS pickup - not drop-off, PICKUP. And I had to give them a 3 day window during which they could pickup....
Needless to say I ended up eating the cost and giving it to my brother, but sadly tho I don't think he uses it much either
I was so pissed about the return policy on these (UPS pickup ONLY with a 3 day window) I got a Kobo Clara after and it's been perfect
The Scribe is probably overkill for most people. It took me a long time to get used to the size and weight. I read faster on smaller devices due to less eye wander. I just use it at home due to how big it is.
Paperwhite, Kobo, others in the 6-7" range are probably what is going to appeal to most people.

- I added the Kindle w/ Kindle Unlimited to the cart
- I checked out and added the promo code. It stated it was successfully applied, but the price didn't reflect it.
- I cancelled the checkout and re-checked out. The price now reflected the 15% off.
- I cancelled the checkout again, removed the item, and added the Kindle w/o Kindle Unlimited because the trade-in button didn't show up unless I did
- Once I added it, I went back to the product page to click on the trade-in button. Went through all the prompts.
- When I went back to checkout, the 20% off trade-in promo wasn't applying once more (but the 15% one was still applied)
- I removed the Kindle and re-added it once more. Finally, it showed both the 20% and the 15% off discounts.
I probably could have saved me all the trouble and time above by doing the trade-in prompts first, added the product to the cart, added the promo code, and then if that didn't work, re-checkout.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
Subtotal was $188.97. 15% off discount was $37.80 and Kindle Trade-in discount was $30.23, which ended up being $120.94 before tax. In the end, it was a 36% discount, which was more than I expected, but the math is a little funky. I'm pretty sure what happened is that the 15% was based on the non-sale price (The "Buy new" price of $251.97) and the 20% off was based on the post-15%-off-discount price, so my guess is that for the Kindle Scribe the price would be $176.79 ($259.99 x 0.8 x 0.85).
