Amazon Kindle Scribe (16 GB) – Redesigned display with uniform borders. Now write directly on books and documents. Includes Premium Pen – Tungsten Grey + Kindle Unlimited

Having had this for a couple of weeks now I feel I can give a good review of this device. Having been looking at digital notepads for a while, it was the Prime Day deal that finally pushed me towards the Kindle. I already have both a paperwhite and colour kindles, so this was never about the reading of books, but for me this was purely brought to use as a notepad. The device works extremely well, as you would expect from Amazon. The writing looks and feels natural and I can create as many notebooks, in as many folders as I like. Perfect for writing notes as I bounce from meeting to meeting, managing multiple workstreams and projects during the course of my day. The AI functions have, so far, proven to be accurate about 90% of the time, which is good enough for me. It can tidy up my scribbles into summaries that read back well and reinforce my understanding and knowledge, helping my achieve my goals. Battery life is good, I have the device on at least 9 hrs a day, 5 days a week, and so far, I'm charging it once a week.....while I'm still working and using it at my desk! Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

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'd been going back and forward on an e-ink tablet for a while now, but couldn't make up my mind about which one suited my needs best. It's hard because until I have an e-ink tablet, I won't know all the ways that I might utilise it. I'd been comparing a Boox Note Air 4, reMarkable 2, and the Kindle Scribe. What made my mind up was the ease at which I'd be able to read my Kindle library on the scribe, take notes in books that I am reading, and annotate PDFs that I send to the device. In the end I realised that the other options on the market were wither way too overpowered for my needs (Boox) or were missing critical features I didn't want to live without (reMarkable has no backlight). Pros: Lighter than I imagined. Wouldn't want to read a book for a long time holding it, but it's perfectly manageable for reading. Backlight is very clear, auto adjusts and can be set from cool to warm or something in between. The screen is crisp and clear. Even very close to it, the writing looks like actual pen - with little to no pixelation visible. From a standard writing distance, it's indistinguisable. Writing experience is really good. Screen is lightly textured so it's not as slick or 'slide-y' as using a stylus on a tablet or phone screen. There's a pleasant tactile experience to writing, and unlike a stylus on a tablet, I find my writing style being a little slower - which in turn makes it far more readable. There are plenty of writing options; pen, fountain pen, pencil, felt tip, all with different tip sizes to adjust to what you want. It remembers the size setting for each writing implement separately, so if you like pencil at smallest, but pen at medium, it remembers that. I love the pen and the eraser tip. The quick function button is great too (have mine set to highlighter). Summarisation tool is really good, fairly accurate and useful for compressing several pages of my writing into a single page that's more legible (which in turn I can then further write/doodle on). A standard undo option is great for removing an errant mark that the eraser would have trouble removing (without removing something you want to keep, I mean). Battery life is pretty decent. Getting about a week and a half's use out of it before it needs a charge. Web browser is fast and decent. Viewing news websites feels a little like reading a newspaper. Cons: Document organisation. You can create folders and folders within folders, and so on - which is great for creating structure, but that's about it. You can't create shortcuts to notebooks that are several folders down from your current poistion. When you send PDFs or Word DOCs to the Kindle, they appear in your book library like any other book. You can add them to collections to keep them tidier, but that's about it. They'll always be littered among your books in your library. Summarisation can only summarise writing. It can't tidy up diagrams or flowcharts you've created - even if they have text in them. That's not a unique problem with the Scribe. Most other similar devices struggle to understand shapes beyond square, triangle, circle. It also only offers adding the summary page at the very start or very end, with no option to select any other position (although you can immediately open the doc overview and move it whereever you want). Copying across notebooks. You just can't. You can move pages around within a notebook, or select sections with the lasso and move them around with a cut/copy/paste. But you cannot move anything from one notebook to another. It doesn't remember (and has no option to enable this) the last used writing tool in different notebooks. If I switch from note taking with a pen, and go to a book where I've been drawing with a pencil, the pen tool is still selected. I admit this is a minor annoyance. You can't set the quick button on the pen to the eraser. I know you're thinking "Why would you need to, there's one on the other end" but it's a wide tip. Using the eraser tool from the menu and the fine tip of the pen can erase very fine detail that the "rubber" end can't. Again - minor annoyance, easily rectified by using the menu to change tool. Neither Pro nor Con: Not sure if this is a pro or a con, it depends on how you view it I suppose. It's a rather bare bones device in terms of what they've added above what a standard Kindle has. That means no distractions, which is great, but also means it won't have features you might find useful. reMarkable has more writing tools for example, and the Boox has the entire Android store available to add new apps as needed. This one is something they all suffer from: It's hard to draw straight lines. On paper you can use the natural resistance of the material to help. There isn't that here. With a bit of proactise, you can put reasonable boxes around key text you want to highlight.

I'm a massive fan of eink devices. I have been using Kindle e-readers since the beginning and have been waiting for the Amazon to release a large screen e-reader since they discontinued the DX. I have been using the Supernote for the last couple of years and wouldn't be without a device like that. It has the Kindle app and does an amazing job as a digital notebook. I am largely comparing the Scribe with that. As an ebook reader... I'll start by saying I love the bigger screen. I've always felt the normal Kindles are a great size for taking with you in a small bag or when hitting the beach / pool side on holiday. However, I much prefer a bigger screen the rest of the time... which is most of the time. As a result I love the Scribe. I love Kindles in general for reading and am fine with the Amazon ecosystem. The reading experience here is everything I love about the Kindle just on a bigger screen. As a notepad... The note taking functionality is definitely still in the early stages of its lifecycle. My Supernote is miles ahead. Having said that, the Supernote didn't release with all its current functionality. I would also argue I don't really use much of what it is capable of. You can add headings that can be navigated. This is really cool and I used it loads at the start. I still mark headings but I can't remember the last time I actually navigated them. Useful but not essential. General navigation is much better on the Supernote as it's much easier to jump between notebooks, especially if you have them in folders. But as is the way of digital notebooks like these, simplicity is a feature. The feature creep on the Supernote means it is now not the simple device it once was. I'm actually enjoying the simplicity of the note taking on the Scribe. Having said all this, I'm only talking about notebooks. I do not and therefore have not written notes on ebooks. The current implementation of inserting blocks into the page and wrapping the text around them seems like a terrible idea. They need to go back to the drawing board on that one. The pen is probably the next thing to discuss. I really like writing on the Scribe. I wish the stylus was more like a real pen, like it is on the Supernote. I want the feel of a pen and I want a cap like a pen. The eraser on the back end is really good and feels great to use. There is just enough resistance to almost feel like a pencil eraser. I also wish it didn't need replacement nibs. The Supernote uses ceramic tips and a special screen protector on the device. Not the end of the world to replace the tips but I'd rather not have consumables. All in all this is a very good, if simple, note taking device. I really like it and will happily continue to use it. It is my favorite Kindle for reading books. Having both in one device is really cool. There is still lots of room for software updates to improve things, and I expect Amazon are focusing on the notebook side as it is the USP for the Scribe.

I spent ages contemplating whether to purchase this. I own an iPad Pro which I use a lot. I ended up getting this on a prime day sale and have no regrets. On the cons, it does feel like a big tablet, I would love to see a smaller version, but overall it’s fine. The interface is really responsive compared to other kindle devices. USB C charging is great as the rest of my devices have this, so I don’t need any additional cables or chargers. The battery life lasts for many days (unlike my iPad). Where this really fits in well for me (and wins amongst competitor devices) is the kindle integration. I like having my entire kindle library on this. I can get non-fiction books and highlight sections and make notes as I read the book, then just have the summary of my notes at the end. The other ease of use is uploading pdf to a kindle website to have it sent straight to my device. The stylus feels great and responsive to write with. Having compared with friends remarkable ebook readers, I am confident I have made the correct decision for the functionality. It’s not a cheap reader but it’s premium quality, well built, lightweight and has a backlight.

Definitely not worth the money Stuck on the same page for over 19hours now I bought this device hoping it would be a reliable tool for reading and taking handwritten notes for my studies. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely frustrating. The device freezes at times and recently became stuck on the restart screen and would not turn on properly, even after charging it for hours and attempting the recommended resets. Because of this, I cannot access any of the study materials and notes that were saved on it. What makes the situation even worse is that I am currently travelling and cannot receive a replacement in time. This means I have lost access to important information I needed while preparing for my exams. I purchased this specifically to organise and rely on my study notes, so it is very disappointing to discover that it is not dependable. For a device that is promoted as a digital notebook, it is concerning that it can freeze or suddenly stop working, leaving you unable to access your own notes. Based on my experience, this is not something I would recommend relying on for important study or work. I expected much better reliability.

This product exceeded my expectations. Writing feels wonderfully smooth, almost like using a real pen on paper. It’s also perfect for reading — very comfortable and easy on the eyes. And the turquoise color is stunning. I couldn’t be happier with it.

The Kindle Scribe itself is a good device. I enjoyed reading on it and the note-taking features were very useful. My disappointment is not with the product itself, but with Amazon's customer service, which was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. After only 4 months, my Kindle developed a fault and had to be returned. What followed was weeks of confusion, stress, and completely inconsistent customer service. Every time I contacted Amazon, I received a different answer. One representative would tell me one thing, and the next would tell me something completely different. Nobody seemed to know what was happening with my case. The situation became even more frustrating when I was eventually told that Amazon had not received my returned Kindle. I was informed that I would not receive a refund because they claimed they did not have my device. This was extremely upsetting, especially as I had already sent it back. After weeks of waiting, worrying, and repeatedly contacting customer service, I finally received a replacement. However, despite being told that I would receive a new Kindle, I was sent a refurbished device instead. The entire process was a complete mess from start to finish. Poor communication, contradictory information, long delays, and the stress of being told that my returned device had supposedly not been received made this an incredibly frustrating experience. I expected much better from Amazon. The Kindle Scribe may be a good product, but the customer service experience was so disappointing that it seriously damaged my trust in the company.

Cuando surgieron los primeros ebooks, todos tuvimos la esperanza de, por fin, poder leer en un soporte digital como si fuera físico. La tinta electrónica revolucionó las pantallas y el efecto de leer en una de ellas, como si fuera papel, nos entusiasmó a los buenos aficionados a la lectura. Desde entonces, la tecnología no solo ha mejorado, incluyendo avances como el panel táctil y la iluminación frontal, sino que ha ido un paso más allá. Pero, para mí, siempre ha habido un escollo importante en estos dispositivos: el tamaño, un hándicap aún mayor que el tema del color. Nunca he tenido la sensación de sostener un libro de verdad y, al final, siempre he tenido que volver al formato físico para solventarlo. Hasta ahora. El Kindle Scribe es un gran ebook de 10 pulgadas que no deja de ser la versión mayor del Kindle Paperwhite, con muchos añadidos y acabados premium. De entrada, notaremos su incremento de peso respecto a sus hermanos pequeños —aunque para mí no supone un problema— y su parte trasera de aluminio, muy suave y delicada al tacto. Su tamaño es lo más parecido a un libro de bolsillo que podemos tener entre las manos. Se acabó eso de pasar páginas cada 40 segundos; aquí podemos orientar la imagen en horizontal y partirla en dos para que la sensación de estar leyendo un libro de verdad sea total. Las opciones de configuración de letras, espaciados y párrafos son absolutas y, con el formato KFX, al incluir guiones en palabras largas, el justificado del párrafo es mucho más homogéneo. No solo se disfruta con libros: el manga es otro gran beneficiado del gran formato, pudiéndose leer sin ningún problema en cualquiera de las dos orientaciones. El Kindle Scribe es más que un ebook de lectura. Como su nombre indica, una de sus mayores virtudes es la posibilidad de escritura. Quizás no sea una cualidad que vaya a ser aprovechada por todos los usuarios, pero es, sin duda, una característica que sorprende cuando se usa. Gracias a la rugosidad de su pantalla y al estilo del lápiz, da una sensación real de estar escribiendo sobre papel. Hasta que no se prueba, no se puede imaginar lo bien que está conseguida. La única pega es que las puntas del lápiz se agotan como las de verdad y toca tirar de recambios cada cierto tiempo. Quizás se podrían mejorar las opciones de software, pues estoy convencido de que tiene muchas posibilidades aún no explotadas. Pese a todo lo positivo del Kindle Scribe, hay algo que sigo sin entender de Amazon: esa cabezonería por cerrar el formato. Es absurdo, y más cuando muchos de nosotros tiramos de servicios como eBiblio para leer. Es incomprensible seguir aferrándose solo a su formato y va siendo hora de abrir el ecosistema del dispositivo, especialmente cuando existen programas como Calibre. No me cabe duda de que sus ventas subirían exponencialmente. Con todo lo bueno, que es mucho, y lo malo, que podría solucionarse si Amazon quisiera, el Scribe es posiblemente el mejor ebook del mercado. Ahora que está próxima su versión en color, habría que valorar cuál sería mejor para uno mismo, aunque la diferencia de precio seguramente no me merecería la pena si lo que buscas es una buena lectura y hacer anotaciones sobre PDF y otros documentos.

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 ..

Ok

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!
