Fantastic

Im a huge bookworm and note taker and this literally the best of both worlds. Even reading for a month and the purchase is worth it. Super durable.

Love it!
I’ve had every generation of the Kindle Scribe so far, and I am enjoying and using this version the most. The equal borders around the display make it a pleasure to use without any difficulties with accidental touches of the screen. The clarity of the screen is also improved versus the 2022 and 2024 versions. I am also pleased with the writing feel despite some complaints I have seen online saying it doesn’t offer enough resistance and feels more like writing on an iPad versus a textured display. I have completely replaced my Remarkable 2 with this device for the past month.

Great Notebook
DeeLF Posted
The Kindle Scribe is a great Kindle and Notebook in one. I used to carry a large notebook around to take notes on the job. Now I have this thin device with me all the time. It is lightweight, easy to use, and a great addition that enables me to take notes as part of my professional responsibilities.

Bring out your creativity
The kindle scribe has been a great investment for me. It helps me stay focused on my note taking, reading and drawing. I struggle with distractions and hence went for Kindle scribe. I love the fact that it gives a feeling of writing on paper. I chose the color option of the kindle scribe to be able to use color in my notes and drawings.

This product is better than the original Scribe. There are more templates to use and a quick notes section as well.

Nice e-reader color is good, not great.

great e-reader and note taker. Color is not as bright as I expected and price is too high. If you can get if on sale, then it is worth it.

Cost Too Much - Features Too Little

Not as great as expected. Limited features and latency of the pen is slower than anticipated. Returned it. Amazon is charging too much for this item, IMO.

Not compatible with all Kindle books
Desmando Posted
Make sure this device is going to do what you need because it isn't compatible with all Kindle books you buy from Amazon.

Hello Desmando. Thank you for your feedback on the Kindle Scribe 64GB. I understand the frustration of discovering that not all Kindle books support the full writing experience, and I appreciate you sharing this so other customers can be informed.
You're correct that the writing-in-books feature, called Active Canvas, is not available on every Kindle book. Active Canvas works with reflowable eBooks — these are text-heavy books (fiction and nonfiction) where the text can reflow when you change font size or layout settings. When Active Canvas is supported, you can write directly on the page and the book text will dynamically flow around your handwritten notes, keeping them anchored in context even if you adjust the font or layout.
Books that use a fixed-layout format — such as comics, graphic novels, children's picture books, heavily illustrated titles, and some textbooks — do not support Active Canvas because their pages are designed as fixed images rather than reflowable text. Additionally, Active Canvas currently only supports left-to-right horizontal languages; books in right-to-left languages (like Arabic) or vertical languages (like Japanese) are not supported at this time.
That said, the Kindle Scribe still offers several ways to take notes on virtually any content. You can add sticky notes to any book regardless of format, create standalone notebooks using built-in templates, and import and mark up PDFs and Microsoft Word documents using Send to Kindle. The device also includes AI-powered notebook features that let you summarize and refine your handwritten notes.
To check whether a specific Kindle book supports Active Canvas before purchasing, look for the "Write in Book" or "Active Canvas" indicator on the book's product detail page on Amazon. This can help ensure the titles you purchase will support the full writing experience you're looking for.
If you have questions about specific book compatibility or need further assistance getting the most out of your Kindle Scribe, Amazon Customer Service is available 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. Thank you for your feedback — it helps us continue improving the experience for all customers.
