Imagine, if you could take notes on the Kindle Scribe, but within an app of your choice? Christine Romero-Chan / Digital Trends

There’s a lot to say about the differences between paper books and ePaper books. Paper books give us extra senses of touch and book-depth to increase memory, and (I think) even Digital Trends writers are allowed to say that the time away from a screen is pretty great. But what if there was a paper-saving, super notetaking, and even discounted eBook that was debatably better than a regular physical book? Well, then we’d have to talk about it.

The latest Amazon Kindle Scribe is one of the best eReaders for notetakers, and you can get one with 64GB of storage for just $365 (or 20% less with a trade-in) right now. This Amazon Big Spring deal brings it down $85 from $450, at least if you buy it between now and March 31. Tap the button below to find the product or keep reading to learn about its cool features.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Scribe

The Amazon Kindle Scribe has a battery life that can last you up to 12 weeks, has IPX8 water resistance so you can even use it poolside with little worry, has a 10.2 inch paperwhite display, and even comes with a premium pen. Our Amazon Kindle Scribe review discusses just how easy it is to read and write at the same time with the device. Additionally, you can get a real sense for how big the 10.2-inch screen is (despite there being tablets for reading that will have a same or similar size, this is big for a dedicated eReader). When you decide to scribble some notes in the margins or write up a memo, our reviewer stated that it “truly feels like pen and paper.”

Now, being able to take notes on a book isn’t exactly groundbreaking. But what is? The AI features that, when using the Amazon Kindle Scribe in daily life, our reviewer described as being genuinely good — not just a cheap gimmick. You can get summaries of all of the notes you’ve taken so far, for instance, which can be extremely helpful if you’re the type to go overboard with notes… or just don’t want to reread 400 pages worth of biophysics notes before a final. Plus, if you have chicken scratch handwriting like me, there’s another feature that will take your notes and “rewrite” them in an easier-to-read format that even your classmates can understand. Even if you already have a laptop for students, you may still want this in your go-bag.

So, if you’re wanting to upgrade your notetaking and get an excellent eReader along with that, this is the time. The Amazon Kindle Scribe with 64GB of storage is just $365 right now through March 31. You can even get an extra 20% off if you trade in a device with your order. Even without the trade-in you’re getting $85 off of the usual $365 price. Just tap the button below to get yours now. Alternatively, check out more Kindle deals to see if you’d rather get a different eReader.

Galaxy phones may finally get a basic privacy feature Samsung missed
One UI 9.5 could let you lock an app without jumping through hoops
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Samsung gives Galaxy owners an impressive amount of control over their phones. Features like Good Lock let users customize just about every aspect of their smartphones. But somehow, the company forgot to put a simple alaxy owners an almost ridiculous amount of control over their phones. Somehow, simply adding a fingerprint lock for apps.

With the One UI 9.5 update, this might finally change. Tipster Fahad Ali Javed has uncovered a native App Lock feature inside an unreleased One UI 9.5 build running on a Galaxy S26. So you would be able to secure individual apps directly from the app drawer without moving them somewhere else first. This could be one of One UI 9.5's simplest and most useful additions.

The iPhone X is obsolete now, and so is that aging MacBook Pro
Relax! only the 2018 MacBook Pro is obsolete
iPhone X

The iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro have officially joined Apple's obsolete products list, marking the end of official hardware service for two devices that once represented the company's future.

Apple updated its support listings to move both products from its vintage category to the obsolete category. That distinction matters because once a device becomes obsolete, Apple discontinues hardware service for it, while authorized service providers can no longer order parts through Apple.

The Pixel 11 Pro is an absolute stealth banger, and its camera finally wants me to experiment
I tried the Pixel 11 Pros, and one tiny light left me wanting more
Google Pixel 11 Pro Matte Obsidian Rear

Google already made some pretty phones, and the new Pixel 11 Pro series just got even better-looking. Recent Pixel Pro models have been among the most premium Android phones I've spent time with, and a few minutes with the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL told me Google is refining the formula even further.

The Pixel 11 was a surprisingly compelling base flagship, and the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL continue the strong first impressions. The phones are lighter, the camera visor is slimmer, the screens are brighter, and the smaller Pro finally gets faster Pixelsnap charging. Google also throws in HiLight and a refreshing new way to experience its camera software.
