Save $126: Amazon has slashed the price of its Kindle Scribe Colorsoft for Labor Day, and you can snag it for $504 right now. This limited-time deal saves you 20% off the $630 retail price, making now a great time to get one and tackle that growing TBR list.

While I love my iPad, reading on a Kindle is the closest thing I’ve found to reading a physical book. The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft improves the experience with its gorgeous screen. It also lets me highlight all my favorite sentences and scribble my own thoughts directly on the page.

At $504, this is one of the better prices I’ve seen on this model, but this Labor Day deal won’t last long.

Kindle Scribe Colorsoft

$504 (Original price: $630)

The Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is designed to bridge the gap between a traditional e-reader and a digital notebook. It offers a paper-like writing experience while retaining all of the benefits Kindle lovers expect, including access to Amazon’s extensive ebook ecosystem and long battery life.

With this deal, you’ll get the 32GB Kindle Scribe with an 11-inch Colorsoft display and a premium pen for on-screen note-taking and scribbling. The e-reader supports handwriting-to-text conversion and ships with a plethora of notebook organization tools, as well as the ability to integrate with Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, allowing you to import documents and export notes.

The deal is best suited for readers who frequently annotate books, students who prefer handwritten notes or professionals looking for a focused workspace without the distractions of a traditional tablet.
