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).
So If i do this, add the 20% trade without an item even in my cart, that should still work with your process, do you think? I'm not sure I want the new device given all the hassle people have had with yellow bars and whatnot, and the fact I enjoy my 2021 model, but damn, I love a deal and once I trade that tablet I'll have 20% just sitting in my account, taunting me, lol.
Added: forgot to ask, the charging dock that comes in the bundle, does it show it as a separate item you can return? And for how much money? I have no desire for that dock, it would sweeten the deal considerably if I returned that dock.

Fyi, if anyone is interested, the value of the charging dock after discounts is $19.28, and the cover is $15.85. If I get this, I may return their cover if I like one of the others that are around $10. I'd get back about $35 for returning the two, then spend another $10 for a different cover, so I'll call that a net $25 additional discount.
If I wait, I could see maybe the CB on the Amazon card goes to 10% for prime day, and maybe the cb on other sites might go up too. But I could also see that 15% code possibly stop working or some other thing changing that would make this cost more. Gott give this a think, lol

I'll give it a week. There's a lot to love about it, but there are short comings. Will see if they are deal breakers.
nope, scribe is reader 1st, notepad 2nd. Remarkably is the opposite
Reviews say 256 / 12gb
I got the bundle and it does not separate out each item so can't return the charger on its own.
While I agree, the weight and size really makes it a subpar reader, though.
The lack of global text search (like Supernote) make it a not-great notebook, either.
It's cheap, though.

The Oasis is my primary e-reader (I got the Scribe mostly to mark up PDFs) but I like both. The Scribe is definitely the fastest e-reader I've used; it's just a bit less convenient to hold for a novel due to the size. Usually I'll use the stand to keep it upright.
If I didn't already own a Scribe I would definitely jump on this deal.
Agree with everything you say here; for me, I like the scribe a lot better as I wanted a bigger e-reader - if your goal is primarily for reading and note taking as a small bonus, a hands down winner at this price, especially with a 5 dollar / 20% discount on an Amazon device you were going to throw away anyway.
More than any other kindle I think the cover is a necessity - the 'official' cover to be exact. Taking the scribe out of the cover is easy as can be, the pen stays in the loop as opposed to attached to the kindle itself, and a naked scribe is only slightly heavier than an oasis with a cover at that point / perfectly manageable for me. Any other cover and it's too much of a PITA to get the cover off or the pen detached and you add 50% of the weight with the whole kit on it.
