Amazon Kindle Scribe (32GB) - Your notes, documents and books, all in one place. With built-in AI notebook summarization. Includes Premium Pen - Tungsten + 3 months of Kindle Unlimited (with auto-renewal)

The Kindle Scribe is a game-changer for anyone who loves to read and write. The large, paper-like screen feels great for long reading sessions and offers a smooth writing experience with the included stylus. Taking notes, marking up PDFs, or journaling is seamless and intuitive. The storage is generous, so I never worry about running out of space. Battery life is solid, lasting days even with heavy use. It’s perfect for anyone who wants more from their Kindle beyond just reading.

I hesitated buying this for a long time, and I am glad I waited for the second generation. There are multiple upgrades to the newer version. Strictly as a writing tablet, there may be better choices, but for a long-time Kindle user (I have owned the Paperwhite, Voyage, and Oasis), the Scribe was the best upgrade I could have asked for. I should note that the 64 GB version is quite expensive. I got it because it looks beautiful (honestly) and I got an excellent price on Prime Day, and big discounts for trading in two old devices. Still, I can't imagine any situation where I would need anything close to this much storage - I mean most of my stuff is in the cloud and how many thousands of books do you need on the device itself? As for the device, it is very solid-looking, and just feels nice. The screen resolution in the best of any Kindle I have seen, and I love reading on it. It has all the features we have come to expect (fonts, lighting, etc.) plus some new ones. Book annotating is a bit limited, but again for a regular user, it is just fine. I enjoy highlighting passages and attaching notes to them for later reference. You can also view all of your annotations on Amazon's website. So if you are working on a laptop or somewhere without your Kindle, your are still good. If you are someone who likes to review books, like on Goodreads for example, this should work out well. For journaling and other writing purposes, the notebooks are good also. The writing is very smooth and realistic, with a lot of options in terms of pens, pencils, erasers and such. I love the AI feature that refines my handwriting, which is pretty sloppy normally. A bit slow at times, but as long as your writing is reasonably legible, you can expect an excellent result from the refining process. So my notebooks are neatly written and organized. The only thing I don't like is that the AI tools are still a little clunky when it comes to refining multi-page handwritten notes. Right now, there does not seem to be a built-in way to automatically combine content from two or more handwritten pages into one unified, refined note that fits in a single space. So I have to fiddle around a fair amount to make my journal entries look the way I like, and there was a bit of a learning curve in doing so. So what - I still love the Scribe and the easy decision buying it turned out to be.

They've really improved the Etch A Sketch. I was looking for a new Etch A Sketch and ran across this thing, and I'm glad I spent a little extra and bought this. This one it comes with a stylist and you don't use 2 knobs. And to erase you can flip over the stylist and the back acts as an eraser. You don't flip the screen over and shake it.Seriously they've captured the visual and tactile aspects of writing with a pen well. I actually have a reason to know cursive again. I actually forgot cursive when I first started using it and had to refresh myself for 30 minutes or so. I feel less retarded now after using for a while. I don't know if I am less retarded but I feel less retarded writing with a stylus. There is no spell check when you write on the tablet. So as long as I don't look in a dictionary, I feel less retarded. You feel more human writing using it rather than punching letters on a keyboard. Really good product for active reading, studying, and taking notes in comparison to only being able to read things on a computer.

I've been using the Scribe for almost a week now and though I'm still getting used to it, I'm definitely enjoying it as a notebook. The feel of writing on it is definitely closest to that of writing on physical paper. The writing precision is great, capturing my handwriting very closely. I bought this Scribe merely due to it's price point compared to the reMarkable Pro, but I am eagerly awaiting for Amazon's next Scribe version.So why didn't it get a 5 - the following are areas that can be improved- Color: I am hopeful that Amazon will come out with a color version, competing with the reMarkable Pro. Being able to write/mark in color is purely a preference, I just could not justify the price of the reMarkable Pro and I didn't mind a larger sized e-reader.- More meeting/business templates - the Scribe is a great digital notebook with a good amount of available templates. If there I could add a few more (even just one more), I would love a template to capture meeting notes, some even call it an Agenda template where you have a dedicated place to write a date, maybe even capture to dos from the meeting and then the section to capture notes. I would also like to see a template that can capture a full year's view.- Size - I can see why the current size is great, especially as an e-reader, but I would love a smaller sized option so the Scribe can easily fit into any small bag. This is also a preference things as I prefer my notebooks to be on the smaller side, like the size of an iPad mini.- Notebook functionality - I love the ability to move pages within a notebook or move notebooks between folders. There is no option to move a page from one notebook to another. I think this is a miss.- Speed - Maybe this is an e-ink think, I would need to get my hands on a reMarkable to compare, but sometimes the speed of creating new pages or pulling up pages is half a second too long for me. But I can get over this, as I have before.Overall, since I am familiar with e-ink devices, readers and tablets, I knew what I was getting in to when I purchased the Amazon Scribe and I am not disappointed. Had I paid full price, I might (I got this during the Mother's Day promotion).The list of improvements might seem like a lot, given a 4-star rating, but there's more usefulness for me than there is room for improvements. I like being able to have one thing that can hold all my "notebooks". I like being able to organize the different notebooks. I particularly like the feature that scans my notes and turns it into a separate page that is typed out (my handwriting is horrible). If Amazon makes a color version of the Scribe, I'd likely buy it.
