Deal Details
The current price of the bundle for the newest model of Kindle Scribe (B&W) is a great deal, especially if you have an old kindle to trade-in, receiving 20% discount on top of this Prime Deal. I traded my old paperwhite, and obtained -$94.99 as the Kindle Trade-In credit during the checkout, then total price became $379.98 + tax. For this decent price, you will get the kindle scribe, the pen, the leather cover, and an useless charger.
Similar deal is available for the kindle scribe colorsoft model, but I'm not a huge fun of it.

I'm curious why you would not recommend the Colorsoft version. Would you mind to share your opinion?

The color version blocks more light meaning you will likely crank up the backlight more.

Wow.. great deal! I had been considering the colorsoft version for comics as well as reading. No way did I want to spend 600+ but with the trade in of my old/collecting dust paperwhite from 2015 it was only $405 for the whole package/case and plug in adapter.. and on top of that it arrives tomorrow. Crazy

Just my two cents, other than the backlight and technical specifications, the gap between the Kindle Colorsoft and a regular tablet seems pretty small, except for people who specifically value an ultimate color e-paper reading experience.
My personal opinion, but Kindle's biggest strength has always been B&W reading. That's what makes it unique. Sure, some people read color magazines and comics, I just downloaded a few comic books and regular book (w/ figures) to test, I feel that current B&W reading experiences of kindle scribe is amazing. To me, color is a nice-to-have feature rather than a must-have. Especially when there are already many competitors on the market that offer much more vibrant and vivid color displays on OLED or miniLED. I mean, why not just get an iPad if you're looking for a color reading experience.
Thank you for asking.

Submitting your trade-in request first, then the discount will be applied to your next order of kindle automatically, including this bundle. I confirmed with the Amazon representative before I placed the order. Don't know why they did not mention this promotion on the product page. Thank you.

Enjoy the colorsoft! Same here, I traded my collecting dust pw from 2023, the back panel getting sticky due to the skin-like materials... anyway, I already received my B&W version yesterday, you will not regret of it. Also, FYI, the Amazon representative said that if I don't want the bundle (which is understandable since I'm not sure I'd pay about $150 just for a leather cover), I can just return the leather cover and the power adapter. That said, you can just keep the kindle scribe if you prefer.

This seems great with a trade in. What are the odds of a better deal during prime days??

Strongrock443..

So that's great... I have no intention of using the case... so I can just return it and get credited.. did you do that? They'll credit you 130 or whatever they're worth? That would be awesome. That would make the Colorsoft around $300 which would be great considering it goes for double that normally. Thanks for the heads up on this.

I did get mine yesterday.. it's really awesome and I was on the fence on the BW cuz I know the screen is a bit sharper without the color/layer.. but I do read comics and I also like to download old Fangoria/Famous Monsters/Starlog off of archive.org and they look great on the colorsoft, not as vibrant as a magazine or Oled tablet but definitely enough.

EDIT >>>>> OK so I just went to my Amazon account and checked.. If I select to return items it shows the case at $85 and the 20w charger at $15 so that's $100 off of the $439 I paid so $339 for the Colorsoft. Hecka deal.. I'll likely be doing that.
