Prime Day 2025 ends tonight, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it's over.

The Kindle Scribe, which came out in December 2024, offers some nice upgrades that make the device more pleasant to use compared to the classic version. The Scribe is designed for note-taking, which a regular Kindle can't do. Those upgrades don't come cheap, but during Prime Day, you can get the 16GB version for $259.99 (originally $399.99), a record low price according to price-tracking tools.

The original Kindle Scribe first came out in 2022; that version is currently $199.99 for the 16GB model, which is also at a record low price during Prime Day. That's a great pick if you're looking for a more budget option.

If you already have the 2022 version, there is no compelling reason to upgrade-the main difference is the 2024 version comes with the Premium Pen instead of the Basic Pen stylus, while the tablet itself is shorter, narrower, and slimmer, but not by much (you can even still use the same case). The new screen also has texture, which will add some resistance when you're writing on it, for a more natural feel. The gap between the screen and the outer casing is also smaller. But that's where the differences end, at least according to PCMag's 3.5-star review.

Otherwise, you'll get the same book format compatibility, the same 15.3 oz weight, the same glare-free 300 ppi front-lit display screen, and the same 12-week battery life. Both tablets run the same software. Still, if you don't own a Scribe at all and are considering getting one, the newer version is the better option, especially since it is only $60 more than the older version.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don't have Amazon Prime.

  • Walmart's Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It's an especially good option if you have Walmart+.

  • Best Buy's Prime Day competition sale, Black Friday in July," runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It's an especially good option if you're a My Best Buy Plus" or Total" member.
