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.

Say “Hello” to May and get a OnePlus 2 Watch for just $250
The OnePlus Watch 2 resting on its side on a window sill.

It's May today. Well, today and the next 30 days, too. But we're saying "Hello May" with code HELLOMAY at OnePlus to get great deals. For example, you can get the OnePlus Watch 2 — it's a smartwatch with a special hybrid mode that you'll need to keep reading to learn about — that you would normally have to pay $300 for. However, by just entering HELLOMAY upon checkout you'll get it for $50 less, or $250. Tap the button to evaluate the watch yourself or keep reading to see what we liked about this watch and why this is considered one of the best smartwatch deals around today.

Why you should buy the OnePlus Watch 2
When we made our OnePlus Watch 2 review, we reviewed it as a smartwatch with an "excellent battery life and a lovely design." The casing simply looks nice and the textured band is admittedly a step up from the competition and even the likes of what you'll see on a standard nylon G-Shock band, as an example. And, of course, the screen — it has a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen with a crisp 466 x 466 display.
