Ordered my Scribe today. For some reason it is on sale, the reason being "National Reading Month Save up to 34% on Kindle." Seen a article pop up in my feed that the Scribe is at its lowest price ever. So my thought process goes:
- check link in article: Scribe 16gb Basic Pen: $290 instead of $340 Nice!!
- what about 64gb? $355 instead of $420 - almost ready to order
- no cover? Essentials bundle (64gb, black leather, useless charger) for $326 instead of $520 - great, cheaper than the 64gb alone on sale, cheaper than regular price 16gb
- but I wanted burgundy color: $100 more expensive for same bundle ($426 burgundy vs $326 black) - no deal
- ordered the black 64gb essential bundle
Black is fine, I guess. If I don't like it, I can throw it away and get a different cover. If I like the way the cover works, I won't throw it away just for the color.
So, if you are on the fence, do it now. Probably goes for any other Kindle as well, but I wasn't looking.
