Amazon likes to keep things minimal regarding how it ships its products. All packaging is made of recyclable cardboard and easy to open with a tear tab. Once you pull out the box's contents, the Scribe is wrapped in a plastic protective sleeve. Under the e-reader is an instruction booklet, and below the device sits the USB cord and included pen (you can choose a basic or premium pen when purchasing). It's all typical Amazon packaging that forgoes a power brick, so you'll have to supply your own.
