Amazon Kindle Scribe (16 GB) – Redesigned display with uniform borders. Now write directly on books and documents. With built-in notebook summarisation. Includes Premium Pen – Tungsten Grey

Had my eye on a Kindle Scribe for a while and really glad that (after many hours of dithering) I decided to get one, it feels lovely quality and has a nice weight to it. It is easy on the eyes being nice and clear with good contrast, and I'm loving reading from a larger screen. The notebooks have been great for saving my glass fusing and craft project notes, the pen is nice to hold and writes really well and, in the absence of a custom template, the storyboard template has worked well for what I need. I prefer to just jot things down rather than type them up (no good me just trying to remember anything!) and it has been great to do this without adding to my craft room clutter. I'm even thinking of copying everything else over to the scribe so that I can get rid of the rest of my paper notes. Although rubbish at drawing I did have a go and did a picture of my cat, it was quite relaxing to do so will likely do a little more of that too. All in all really happy with the Kindle Scribe and would recommend it.

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'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.

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.

Fiquei impressionado pela qualidade do produto. Tanto dá sensibilidade da escrita como da luz. Começo por dizer que apesar de ser um investimento ( assim o considero) que esta versão de 2024 - embora não conheça a versão de 2022 - é espetacular. Peso: é leve e só é mais pesado porque comprei a capa original. O porta lápis magnético funciona bem, o botão do lápis e sua programação é útil. A forma da escrita é muito boa. Tem várias opções de espessuras de traços. O interface lateral para as opções de edição é rápida e intuitiva. Tive dúvidas no início como passar de cadernos para livros etc mas com tutoriais no YouTube facilmente chega-se lá. Pena não haver um manual de instruções. Depois de aprender é fácil a fazer upload de ficheiros PDF etc. As anotações e book são ótimas e PDF um pouco diferente mas boas. A leitura noturna é ok, só quando muda páginas é que dá um flash estranho, de resto ok. Não consigo ver o número da página nos livros em PDF. Vou investigar. É muito útil o envio direto das anotações dos cadernos para o nosso email, faz um scan perfeito. Sobre a conversão do Manual para digital de textos ainda estou a testar mas já vi que depende muito da caligrafia. Nao ha milagres. Mas se escrever bem legível ele converte bem e envia para email definido. É uma boa compra. Recomendo
