It's Prime Day! It's funny how Prime Day has become almost a holiday of sorts. Other retailers are starting to have sales on Prime Day, too, I guess cashing in on the people waiting to spend money as soon as everything goes on sale. I was checking Prime Day deals late last night, and have seen many already go back to regular price.
Please note that I do get a small commission for any purchases made via my links!
I was hoping for more writing tools to be on sale for Prime Day, but at the very least I'm happy to see the Kindles on sale. The Kindle Scribe, which I have and love, is $259.99, 30% off. Note that that's the version with the smallest amount of storage and the premium pen; the ones with upgraded storage are either not on sale, or already went back to normal price. There is one 64GB Scribe bundle still on sale for Prime Day, though; the price of $324 is 38% off and includes the premium pen and a cover. That's the Scribe I have and I highly recommend it!
There are also two smaller Kindles on sale:
- 2022 Kindle $84.99 (15% off)
- Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 (10% off)
There's also a Fire tablet on sale for $74.99, 46% off, but for me that's too much distraction when I want to read.
I was really glad to see the Kindles on sale. My husband decided to upgrade his very old refurbished Kindle. We both have the same kind, that we got during a sale a few years ago. They've done us well, but compared to my Scribe they're slow and the screen lighting isn't as crisp.
I'll keep looking and see if I see any deals writers would benefit from, but so far the Kindle deals are the best deals I've seen for literary-minded folks.
