Update, 2:43PM: We've added additional info about pricing for the Premium Pen and the higher storage capacities, as well as details about the screen's front light.

Original story: Earlier this month, Amazon announced an update to its entry-level Kindle, but at the company's product event today, the focus was on a new flagship product that includes handwriting support and a stylus—not a new feature for e-readers but a first for the Kindle lineup.

The Kindle Scribe is a 10.2-inch e-ink e-reader that includes a pen for taking notes, annotating documents, or general scribbling. The device will start at $340 for 16GB of storage and a Basic Pen accessory, and it's available for preorder today. It will begin shipping at some unspecified date later this year.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
