Looking for one device that can replace half the things cluttering up your desk?

A notebook, a stack of printed documents, a Kindle, several pens you inevitably lose and, depending on how chaotic your handbag is, possibly three receipts you have been carrying around since March.

That is where the Kindle Scribe comes in, and right now Amazon Australia has a deal making is easier for you to add one to your daily routine.

The Kindle Scribe 64GB bundle is currently $647.95 on Amazon Australia, down from $878.90.

That is a 26 per cent saving, and the bundle includes the Kindle Scribe itself, an Italian plant-based leather cover and a black power adaptor.

The catch is that this price is exclusive to Amazon Prime members, so you will need to make sure your Prime membership is active when you check out.

The Scribe is essentially Amazon’s answer to the problem of wanting the convenience of digital reading without giving up the satisfying act of writing things down.

Its 10.2-inch, 300 ppi glare-free display is designed for reading and writing, with a front-lit screen that can be used indoors or outside.

It also looks considerably more like a notebook than a traditional tablet. The redesigned flush-front display has uniform white borders, while the included Premium Pen is designed to replicate the feel of writing on paper.

There is no charging or complicated set-up required for the pen, so you can start scribbling as soon as you open the box.

And this is where the Kindle Scribe gets particularly useful for anyone who has ever opened a book and immediately reached for their phone to make a note.

With Active Canvas, you can write directly onto a book page and the Scribe creates space for your handwriting. You can expand the margins when you have more to say, then collapse them again when you want to return to the original page.

Digital notebook

Beyond reading, it doubles as a digital notebook. You can use it for meeting notes, shopping lists, journalling, brainstorming or the endless collection of thoughts that usually end up scattered between the Notes app and scraps of paper.

Handwritten notes can also be converted into text and emailed to yourself or your contacts.

There are built-in AI notebook tools, too, which can summarise your notes, adjust their length and tone and help refine your writing. It is a useful addition for anyone who takes pages of notes and then has to work out what they actually wrote later.

The other major selling point is what the Scribe leaves out. There are no social media notifications competing for your attention and no stream of apps tempting you into a 40-minute scroll when you intended to write down one sentence.

It is designed specifically for reading, writing and marking up documents, which makes it an appealing option for anyone trying to create a little more separation between their screen time and their thinking time.

The included folio makes the bundle even more practical. Made from plant-based leather crafted in Italy, it has a soft finish and microfibre interior designed to help protect the screen.

The Scribe attaches magnetically to the slim cover rather than snapping into a traditional plastic shell, keeping the overall design streamlined while making it comfortable to hold for longer reading or writing sessions.

At $647.95, this is not an impulse purchase in the same way as a new paperback or notebook. But with the bundle normally costing $878.90, the current 26 per cent discount makes the complete set easier to justify, especially if you have been eyeing a Scribe for reading, journalling, work or study.

If you have been waiting for a reason to finally combine your reading pile with your notebook collection, this could be it.
