Worth every penny!
I use this every day for work. The texture of the screen makes writing on it very satisfying. I’m a big fan of all the different page templates; I’m able to take notes, plan out my day/week/month, and make checklists with no problem. I haven’t used the export functionality too much but when I do it translates my writing into text with near-perfect accuracy. I do wish it was easier to move pages around within or between notebooks, but it doesn’t take away from my everyday use. Battery life is fantastic—I can easily go weeks between charges. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a budget-friendly e-notebook!

Exactly the device I didn’t know I needed
I was looking for a device that could help me read more, sketch out ideas, and replace my long-standing habit of taking copious notes on paper—notes I almost never revisit. I wanted something that could bring all of this together in a more intentional way. I seriously considered the iPad, especially with apps like Procreate and various note-taking tools. A couple of friends, however, strongly recommended the Kindle Scribe. I happened to be in the U.S. over Thanksgiving when this version was discounted by about 30%, and on an impulse, I decided to give it a try. I’m very glad I did. The Scribe itself is superb. The writing experience feels natural and satisfying, and the plant-based cover Amazon offers is excellent—simple, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. Writing on the Scribe feels close enough to paper that it immediately felt familiar. I’ve only had it for about a month, but in that time I’ve been reading a lot more than usual. I enjoy underlining and annotating as I read, and I can easily see this becoming a replacement for physical books for me. The note-taking experience has been equally strong—I’ve already used it extensively in a couple of workshops, and it’s been genuinely pleasant and fulfilling. There are several features I haven’t explored yet, including the cloud and AI capabilities around notes, and I haven’t fully leaned into sketching and drawing just yet. Even so, based on my experience so far, this has been a fantastic purchase. If you’re someone who reads a lot, takes handwritten notes, or wants a focused, distraction-free alternative to paper or tablets, I’d strongly recommend the Kindle Scribe.

1000% worth the cost 💰💸
OH. MY. GOD. 🤩🥳 I have found the holy grail of e-reading. I upgraded by trading in my 10th gen paperwhite. When I received this bad boy (named $crim the Scribe lol), setup was a breeze bc I linked my amazon account to the purchase. I've had it for a week now and it's life changing in the best way 😍 **yes I'm aware you can see my folders & titles of my notebooks, idc lol** I have wanted to journal my whole life but never could stick with the hobby. I have been a journaling FIEND with this piece of technology. I've already made 13 notebooks, with all different kinds of layouts. The planner layout, checklist layout, & a regular notebook paper layout. I have 3 different journals and checklists out the WAZOO. I love writing on it, and I think my handwriting is so much prettier on it vs on actual paper 💀 I don't have any issues with the premium pen, but this is the first time I've used a pen like this lol. The eraser on the end is a little loose, but not to the point that it bothers me. The Kindle itself is super high quality **remember this review is coming from a previous 2018 paperwhite owner lol** It's not as durable as my paperwhite was that's for sure. I love that the button to wake it up is on the side because I put my thumb under the bottom sometimes to hold it while I'm reading. The screen is HUGE and my blind self loves that 🤣 I didn't realize the pen is magnetic and sticks to the side, I was like a cavewoman discovering fire when I found that feature lmaooo. Response time is lightyears faster than my paperwhite, and having 64GB of memory is a dream compared to the 8GB I had. The battery life is impressive, I have mine set to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. I don't let my devices get too low on charge so I don't know how many days it lasts with a LOT of writing in notebooks & reading. You're able to send documents to your kindle as well, and then write on them! It's super easy too. One of my notes from my iPhone took a while to transfer, but it still did it so no complaints here! You can customize a little more with this than on the paperwhite. The jade color is BEAUTIFUL, plus my constellation case is so CUTE & perfect for an astrology girlie like me 😍 It works like a dream with smooth & swift transitioning. It's condensed my planner, journal, & e-reader to ONE physical item. I won't have to spend money on yearly journals or continuously buy new journals saying "I'll start journaling now, this is the one." Of course manufacturing the item creates waste, but I like to think I'm helping the environment a little bit by not buying those physical items anymore 🌏 ✨I know the price is pricey (at least to me it is lmfao), but if you love reading, love to journal or want to get into the habit of journaling, BUY A KINDLE SCRIBE!!!!!! This was a purchase I know was worth it as soon as I got to play around with it ✨

Excellent reader, notebook feature could improve
I was very excited to get myself the Kindle Scribe after having it on my wish list for over a year. I have had several Kindle products of the years. As a reader, it is as good as my other Paperwhite, but I love the increased screen size and increased functionality of being able to write in books. I'm still getting to know the notebook features. I had been hoping to be able to write notes while studying Spanish and then be able to search those notes. It seems that this task isn't really possible without extra steps of sending the documents out, which is disappointing. But I am working thru labeling several notebooks and I do find that writing and organizing my notes is easy (once I got used to the style of the pen). I do wish that you could type in the notebooks and search (like in OneNote). As a left-handed writer, it was hard to get used to writing on the screen, but I appreciate that I don't have the left-hand smear I would from writing with ink pens in a notebook. I keep accidentally click the button on the pen, I really wish it was located somewhere else. I also wish the pen was fatter or had a soft end. I might add a cushion, as I have a hard time holding it for extended periods. So my review is mixed, but I am happy enough with the product that I have decided to keep it.
