Amazon Kindle Scribe (64 GB) – Redesigned display with uniform borders. Now write directly on books and documents. Includes Premium Pen – Tungsten Grey + Kindle Unlimited

I have had the scribe for some time now and can honestly say I love it. This gets used every day for notes for work and work documents for reading and also for listening to audiobooks. So why do I use this over my IPad?(which I also love) well ther are few reasons 1. Writing- It feels really good to write on, it gives a pleasant scratchy feel so it isn’t like writing on ice but feels very paper like & I can rest my hand on the pad while writing without it going balmy. 2. Files - I can separate my notebooks, so I have a work day book a scrap pad for making notes while on calls or mapping ideas or presentations, my grandson has his own folder where he can draw and doodle and when I go conferences or specific events I have a note book for these so it dosnt get lost in my work day book, and all this in one device so no more scraps of paper cluttering my desk or car, no loosing notes and most important not carrying different notebooks 3.Kindle & Audible- I use both of these services in my everyday life, it is how I switch off, relax and reset and these gives the use of both, I love the big screen for comics and I am still fascinated by whisper sync the best feature Amazon has ever released, reading of standard books is good the screen is very adaptable so you adjust so you can read without wearing glasses something as a new glasses user appreciates (I can’t get use to wearing them) 4. Documents - this is more for the wider kindle infrastructure but uploading docs is so easy, using the document upload feature is so easy and again this feature means I have access to all my work related docs in one location without carrying 15 brochures in my bag when seeing customers and I never forget the one I need!!! All in all I can’t recommend this product enough and I look forward to the coloursoft version because that will make comic books pop and will be better for my work related brochures.

I tried the original release of the scribe and returned it as I could barely do anything with it. So when they released this upgrade I was tempted to give it a try. My use case is both as a kindle reader, and as a self study student. The device itself feels amazing on the hand, love the light feel and quality build. Only part of the build I hate is the white bezel. I think they were trying to make it look like a note book page, but honestly to me it just looks tacky YMMV. Writing on it is amazing feeling. Not quite writing on paper, but pretty darn close! As a kindle reader it’s a solid experience. It has all the issues I’ve come to expect with the kindle os, issues I wish they’d fix. However one of the biggest issues is the device is underpowered, when doing anything it can take ages to get a response from the ui. Downloading is as hit and miss as it is on any other kindle device, this is especially true of larger files. I have some that are over 1st and kindle has never been able to handle them properly. Sometimes I need to redownload the files multiple times to get them to go from 99% to 100% If you’re only going to be reading normal novels, get a paperwhite. However if you’re going to be reading manga, magazines, comics then you’d may well be better off with this. Now, let’s talk the main use. Writing. A lot of the texts I’m studying can either be directly bought on Kindle or uploaded. So there’s a big advantage there to being able to do it all in the eco system. The inline writing still needs some refinement as it’s a bit clunky and dosent always go where you want it to. However for my usage as self study and essay writing it works a treat. I can make all the notes I want in the text books and then add them to my actual notes. So far after a month of constant use I’ve found it very valuable and worth its investment. However I do still find I go back to my Paperwhite for reading in bed or on the bus. How does it compare to the likes of Remarkable? Honestly I prefer it. I have owned both the Remarkable 2 and Remarkable Pro Color. The problem with both those devices is you can’t get your text books on there. For a corporate setting they may be ok, but for a student I think the Scribe has more versatility. I do hope Amazon work on the OS kinks and bring more functionality to the writing side

I have had this for more than 3 months and use it as a notebook (mostly for work) and also to read kindle books from the Kindle store. I absolutely love it. For work I have used note pads forever. I have lots of clients and lots of mini projects, some big some very small and most of these repeat in some way every year. Rather than keeping old notebooks and spending ages looking for the old notes I am now able to have all the notes in one place. This is thanks to the filing system (you can create file names and put them in folders and sub folder just like a Windows file system). This makes life so much easier. The pen is great and there are lots of ink styles to suit your preference. I find the eraser and the select tool (bit like cut and paste) very useful so that i can amend and update notes or to do lists day after day after day. There are plenty of other features like AI text recognition, exporting files, various paper templates, but i basically use one page style 99% of the time and nothing else. Then its a really big, clear and bright display (with backlight for night reading) so you can read your notes whenever and wherever. Then the actual Kindle books thing is also superb. Some might think its a bit big,but for me, not the case at all. I read books on this several hours a week whilst riding the train to and from work. I have a kindle folio case. That holds the kindle really well and offers enough protection for me to not worry about this being in my bag or on a table. It shows no signs of wear after 3 months constant use. One thing I would like to see if a “tag” system to help locate files in a different way (have seen this on the main alternative to this) but i think I probably only want this because I haven’t actually got it!

After my excellent experience with the Kindle Paperwhite, I decided to buy the Kindle Scribe so I could take my books everywhere and organize all my notes on a single device. I really liked that you can use PDF templates to create a planner or manage an annual budget, in addition to all the included templates for creating notebooks. To get the most out of the Kindle Scribe, you need to understand what it is and how it works, as this device might not be for everyone. If you're looking for an e-reader to take notes and organize your day, this is the perfect device for you. But if you're looking to use it to browse the internet, watch videos, or look at photos like you would on a tablet, this device isn't for you, as it wasn't designed for that purpose. Regarding the flickering mentioned in many negative reviews, you should understand that this is normal for e-ink screens; it's how they clear the previous page. Screen and writing: The 10.2” screen with E Ink technology is very comfortable for the eyes, even after several hours of use. The stylus responds precisely, and the writing feel is natural, very similar to paper. It is ideal for notes, lists, and annotations in documents. Battery: The battery lasts for several weeks with mixed read and write use, which is a big plus. Pros: *I can read all my digital books just like on my previous Kindle *I can create different types of notebooks that suit my needs *I can transfer PDF templates like planners and write directly in them *Large, crisp screen *Smooth, precise writing *Excellent battery life *Ideal for reading and productivity Cons:I have nothing negative to say about the Kindle Scribe; it meets all my needs and expectations. In conclusion: I recommend the Kindle Scribe to students, professionals, and readers who need a large reading device with writing capabilities. It's an excellent option if you're looking to combine reading and note-taking in a single device. I've included photos of the product in actual use for your reference.

Lo Scribe si presenta molto bene con finiture in metallo, ottima dimensione dello schermo, buona risoluzione e toni di grigio. Leggero a sufficienza per poterlo tenere con una sola mano. Retroilluminazione regolabile sia in luminosità che temperatura colore. La lettura è estremamente riposante. Via USB è possibile passare file PDF che vengono vializzati nella libreria : per quelli che ho provato, manualistica professionale, non ho avuto problemi di visualizzazione. Un po' di confusione si crea avendo i PDF assieme ai libri in libreria : sarebbe stato meglio avere due sezioni separate, ma sono dettagli. L'uso della penna è veramente ottimo, la sensazione è quella di scrivere su carta, buoni i vari tipi di penna anche se non sono perfette a sfruttare l'inclinazione o la pressione. Comunque un ottimo livello per la scrittura a mano e per prendere note. È sicuramente un ottimo prodotto per leggere libri, PDF e prendere appunti (non saprei per disegnare). L'unica pecca forse è che le note sui libri vengono scritte all'interno di caselle inserite tra il testo, non sovrapposte come invece si più fare con molti lettori PDF per PC o tablet (ma anche questo è un dettaglio). In conclusione lo consiglio, meglio se durante un periodo di sconti ..

Ich habe mir den Kindle Scribe im Rahmen eines Upgrade-Angebots zugelegt und damit meinen rund zehn Jahre alten Kindle Paperwhite ersetzt. Auch wenn ich zusätzlich ein aktuelles Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 nutze und darauf die Kindle App installiert habe, empfinde ich das Lesen und Schreiben auf dem Scribe als deutlich angenehmer. Das Display ist augenschonend, gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet und spürbar weniger belastend für die Augen als bei meinem Tablet. Sehr positiv fällt mir das Schreibgefühl mit dem Premium Eingabestift auf, der präzise reagiert und sich natürlich anfühlt. Die Schrifterkennung funktioniert ebenfalls sehr gut, allerdings ausschließlich bei handschriftlichen Notizen in den dafür vorgesehenen Notizbüchern. Bei PDF-Vorlagen steht diese Funktion leider nicht zur Verfügung. Trotzdem ist der Scribe für meine Zwecke äußerst praktisch. In meinem Schützenverein nutze ich ihn, um selbst erstellte PDF-Formulare bei Veranstaltungen direkt digital auszufüllen, ohne sie vorher ausdrucken zu müssen. Das spart Zeit, Arbeit und Papier und funktioniert im täglichen Einsatz zuverlässig. Das größere Display ist beim Lesen und Bearbeiten von PDFs ein deutlicher Vorteil. Auch als klassischer E-Reader macht der Scribe einen hervorragenden Eindruck. Die Darstellung ist klar, kontrastreich und auch bei langem Lesen oder Arbeiten angenehm für die Augen. Was ich allerdings schade finde, ist das fehlende Immersion Reading. Die Kombination aus gleichzeitigem Lesen und Hören mit hervorgehobenem Text nutze ich in der Kindle App regelmäßig. Auf dem physischen Kindle Scribe wird diese Funktion jedoch nicht unterstützt, was ich als unnötige Einschränkung empfinde. Das Whispersync for Voice funktioniert dagegen sehr gut und ermöglicht das einfache Wechseln zwischen Buch und Hörbuch bzw. umgekehrt. Der Kindle Scribe überzeugt mich durch sein hervorragendes Display, das angenehme Schreibgefühl und seine echte Alltagstauglichkeit, besonders beim Ausfüllen von PDF-Vorlagen. Die fehlende Schrifterkennung bei PDF-Formularen und das nicht unterstützte Immersion Reading sind kleine Schwächen, ändern aber nichts daran, dass der Scribe insgesamt ein sehr gelungenes Gerät ist und ich froh über den Wechsel bin. 5 von 5 Sternen

Purchased in Ireland, so might not apply to everyone. Good Things. - I much prefer the bigger screen versus the small kindles. Finally feels like I am reading a book. - Pen response is very fluid. On par with good graphics tablet. - Incredibly light. - I can side load all my pdfs/documents easily. Not so good things. - Battery drain is somewhat faster versus the smaller devices. - Kindle Unlimited is not in my region. - There is some ghosting on the screen. If you are deleting text or scrolling. It is not permanent though. - The AI features are on the cloud and slow. I wouldn't feel comfortable pushing to the cloud at all. - The pen doesn't work on side loaded PDFs. Which is the whole reason I got the device for. One major annoyance! After leaving the device for sometime while still in a book I am reading, instead of returning to where I am left off it shows me a store page book. Basically an advert. I thought I was doing this by accident, but it is the device doing it. I see no way to switch it off. For the price and had I known the issues I likely would not have purchased this.

In love with my Kindle. Use it for everything. Write my workouts on it, read my music during concerts, write notes, read books. Just in love!
