Have you ever wanted to own the kind of tablet that serves double-duty as a user-friendly notebook? Well, dream no more, friend, as Amazon has marked down its amazing Kindle Scribe as part of its Prime Day tablet deals: While this sale lasts, you’ll be able to purchase the Kindle Scribe for $260. At full price, you’d be spending $370, which is a $110 discount for those keeping score. Part tablet, part e-reader, the Kindle Scribe can do it all, and it does it all well!

Why you should buy the Kindle Scribe

Just to be clear: This is the 16GB version of the Kindle Scribe with a Premium Pen and no Kindle Unlimited plan.

One of our favorite parts of the Kindle Scribe is its note-taking capabilities, which may sound pretty obvious for this type of tablet, but we’ve truly never experienced stylus haptics like this! All writing motions and gestures feel smooth, and it responds without hesitation, to the point where you’ll forget you’re even using a tablet! 

At 10.2 inches wide, the Scribe screen delivers exceptional picture and responsive commands when used as both a tablet or an e-reader (check out our other best Kindle deals roundup!). When opting for the latter, you’ll be pleased with how clear and detailed the E Ink display can be. This is particularly useful when it comes time to scroll through a PDF document you’ve marked up. 

You can also expect plenty of battery life from this bad boy: On a full charge, Amazon claims you’ll get weeks of usage before you need to plug the Scribe in. So whether you’re using it every day or once in a while, the Scribe will be ready!

We’re not sure exactly how long this deal will last, so we’d recommend taking advantage while you still can. Save $110 when you purchase the Kindle Scribe and take advantage of the Prime Day deals that keep on giving!

Best early GPU Black Friday deals: Save on top graphics cards now
The Gigabyte RX 6750 GRE graphics card over a dark background.

Update 11/15/24: While the deals on GPUs don't generally tend to be that great, we've found a lot of great deals as we get closer to Black Friday. We've added a few to the list below, as well as updated the already existing deals so that you can have the latest info.

Building a PC from scratch can be a lot of fun, and with the upcoming Black Friday on November 29, it's a perfect time for you to pick up hardware. One of the most fun bits of any build is picking the parts, and for that, graphics cards are probably the most fun to pick between. That said, GPUs also tend to be the most expensive pieces of hardware that go into a desktop, especially if you're trying to aim for something in the mid-to-high-end range that can easily reach $500 or even $1,000. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite early Black Friday GPU deals for you below.

I have Meta Quest 3S and this is the best VR accessory yet — it’s on sale
Kiwi Design best VR accessory Meta Quest 3 headstrap

Ahead of the holidays and some prime family time, I've picked up the Meta Quest 3S. So far, my family is absolutely loving it, and my kids are constantly bugging me to play games, explore worlds, and get virtual. Naturally, I manage the time we're all spending -- you don't want too much screen time. But regardless, every one of us ends up becoming immersed, which means spending a lot of time with the headset on. One of the biggest drawbacks of the stock setup is that the headstrap is uncomfortable, and it puts a lot of pressure on your face. That means, the Meta Quest 3S's best VR accessory -- and the Meta Quest 3, too -- is a new, custom strap.

We grabbed the Kiwi Design Quest 3-Quest 3S headstrap and it's fantastic. It's also on sale right now for 20% off. Normally $30, it's discounted to $24 with a coupon code. Why am I sharing? If you pick up a Meta Quest 3 or 3S for yourself, or you're planning to gift one to someone over the holidays, I highly recommend ordering one of these straps. It vastly improves the experience and makes wearing the headset much more comfortable. It's also easy to adjust the fit, which is a big deal for kids. You have no idea how frustrating it was to constantly adjust the headstrap for my children between each turn.
