Pre-owned units in this category go through a diagnostic check, cleaning, data wipe, and replacement of any defective parts before resale. The Scribe itself keeps its 10.2-inch, 300 ppi front-lit display and bundled Premium Pen, with up to 12 weeks of battery life and room for a large library of books and documents. The offer is exclusive to Prime members, and it's live now, ahead of Prime Big Deal Days on Oct. 6.\n\nRetailers routinely seed refurb discounts in the run-up to major sales events, both to clear inventory and to generate deal headlines before the main event starts. It's a way to look generous without cutting the price of new stock, and it works best on a device like the Scribe, where the appeal is the writing experience rather than having the newest hardware.\n\nIf you can live with a refurbished unit, this is a solid trim on a genuinely good note-taking tablet - just don't mistake it for what Prime Day itself will offer on new units in about a week.","[\"kindle-scribe\",\"amazon\",\"deals\",\"e-readers\"]","2026-09-28T11:22:35.000Z","2026-09-28T18:48:20.735Z","2026-09-28T18:48:27.783Z","published",null,[],"deals",[26,27,24,28],"kindle-scribe","amazon","e-readers",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Fsept-28-like-new-amazon-kindle-scribe-deal",0,{"sections":35},[36,41,46,51,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,94,99],{"name":37,"slug":38,"count":39,"latest_published_at":40},"AI","ai",4877,"2026-09-28T16:14:54.000Z",{"name":42,"slug":43,"count":44,"latest_published_at":45},"Security","security",764,"2026-09-28T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Policy","policy",401,"2026-09-28T15:14:48.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":24,"count":53,"latest_published_at":54},"Deals",268,"2026-09-28T14:00:00.000Z",{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Hardware","hardware",191,"2026-09-28T15:45:00.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Science","science",154,"2026-09-28T13:19:18.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",138,"2026-09-28T14:13:01.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Software","software",91,"2026-09-25T20:55:00.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",85,"2026-09-28T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Startups","startups",78,"2026-09-28T15:29:21.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Gaming","gaming",48,"2026-09-25T18:35:21.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":88,"latest_published_at":93},"General","general","2026-09-26T17:02:42.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Reviews","reviews",30,"2026-09-24T20:07:31.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
