Last fall, Amazon released its very first Kindle designed for reading and writing. The Kindle Scribe retails for $329.99, but the bundle is currently on sale, which means you can get more bang for your buck and have it delivered within two days (if not sooner).

Kindle Scribe features the world’s first 10.2-inch, a 300-ppi, glare-free, high-definition, front-lit display screen and stylus pen. The device was released last November during the holiday shopping season.

“Kindle Scribe is the best Kindle we’ve ever built, creating a reading and writing experience that feels like real paper,” Kevin Keith, vice president of Amazon Devices said in a statement at the time. “It’s inspired by the Kindle customers who have added billions of notes and highlights to books over the years, and it’s also ideal for reviewing and marking up documents, managing your to-do list, or doodling over a big idea. Plus, it offers all the Kindle benefits customers know and love—millions of books on demand, adjustable fonts, premium reading features, and weeks and weeks of battery life—with the benefit of a beautiful, large display.”

Apart from new capabilities, Kindle Scribe comes equipped with fan-favorite features including an adjustable warm light, auto-adjusting front light, USB-C charging and a battery designed to last for weeks at a time.

The 16GB Kindle Scribe retails for $339 (Kindle Unlimited subscription not included), but you can also purchase the device in 32 GB and 64 GB of storage options. Choose between the battery-free Basic Pen or the Premium Pen, which has an eraser and customizable shortcut button to open things like sticky notes (be sure to add a fabric cover to keep your Scribe protected.)

If you’re interested in a deal, Kindle Scribe Essentials bundles are 30% off at Amazon. The bundle includes a 64GB Kindle Scribe, adapter and folio cover.
