The Kindle that lets you take handwritten notes is on sale for Amazon Prime Day. The 16GB model of the Kindle Scribe is currently $85 off and down to $255 instead of the usual $340. That's not an all-time low — the ereader hit $240 as recently as July's Prime Day — but this is the lowest price we've tracked since then.

So even though this Kindle Paperwhite sale is solid, and even though I'm a big fan of the Paperwhite and its Signature edition, for anyone considering this deal, ask yourself: will you be annoyed if Amazon launches a new model before the end of the year? If not, then go for it; if so, then I'd recommend waiting to see what Amazon has up its sleeve.

Again, as of Oct. 9, the Kindle Scribe is marked down to $254.99, so you're saving $85 — all the more money for books. This is the final day of October Prime Day, but you can check out our Prime Day live blog to stay up to date on all the final deals, including a handful of deals on Kindle e-readers.
