Best purchase of the year!
The perfect e notebook device. In comparison to other e notebooks this to me, is top tier. Especially comparing to the price of its competitors. The battery life is one of the most satisfying features. It’s also serves as a really good e-reader. Although, it’s a bit large at 10” it’s still lighter and more comfortable reading from as opposed to a typical tablet. Reading from an e ink display for hours spoils you and your eyes when it’s come to the Kindle scribe and their vast selection of books will always have options for any reader with the Kindle Unlimited subscription which is a great value for anyone who buys 1-2 books a month. -USB C is also another plus when charging or manually uploading your own books or pdf’s. The power button is now located in a much more thoughtful location, unlike the kindle paperwhite… so you’re less likely to accidentally hit the power button and don’t even get me started with the paper like feel of the glass when writing with the the pen. It also accurately reflects handwriting without slippage of the hand. Speaking of which it’s does a perfect job of negating the hand on the device when writing. And the pen doesn’t need to charge like the iPad so it’s always ready. 32gb of internal storage is way more than needed when storing notes and books borrowed or purchased. If you manage to catch one on sale, DO NOT HESITATE! LOL

This is a game changer!!
I love this! One of the best purchases I've ever made actually. I read a lot of book series and being able to have them all with me without lugging them around is amazing, but I really got this for the scribe portion. It gives all sorts of templates to organize your entire life: calendars, to do lists, daily/weekly/month planners, notebook paper, blank drawing paper, story board, music lines, graph paper - anything you could possibly want (picture attached for example). You can then put them all into organized folders so you don't a have a random assortment of papers everywhere in your Notebook library. If you're also someone who likes to write things down (and quickly before you lose the idea heh) but doesn't want to lose papers or carry a stack of notebooks/calendars with you, this is quite literally a game changer that was worth every penny in my opinion!

A good choice as e-ink tablet
i love my Kindle Scribe. I love that in addition to reading, i can also use it for note-taking and writing. I have another e-ink tablet (Supernote), and i find writing on Kindle Scribe so much better. I use it everyday for personal journaling or for work planning. I love that it vibes with a good quality pen that has an eraser, which is very useful. The battery lasts long despite daily use. I travelled for two weeks, i never had to recharge. I highly recommend.

It’s always by my side!
The Kindle Scribe really got me into daily reading. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing like a good-smelling, crispy page book. But there’s something about Kindle that makes me want to pick it up more often. I love the Scribe because you can highlight text that you want to revisit later or just find inspiring. You can create different notebooks for different needs. For example, I have a notebook for creative writing, lyric writing, daily planning, journaling and so much more. As far as the reading, it’s really just like the other kindles but on a bigger screen. The scribe aspect is where it stands out and it’s just so cool! The feel of the pencil on paper is spot on. There are different pens and thicknesses to choose from, the pencil has an eraser on the back so you can just flip it around and erase, no need to switch to an eraser setting. I really love everything about my kindle scribe and am excited to see what more I accomplish with it!

Works better than I imagined!
I was hesitant to get the Scribe. I’ve wanted an e-ink tablet for a while and had looked at the Remarkable for years. But didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription to use the key features you want one of these tablets for. Well, the scribe exceeded the expectations and is a blast to use. The screen backlighting is adjustable warm/cool as well as brightness. And it looks great on both ends of the scale. Using the pen feels great! And the “eraser” is satisfying too. Included for free with the device is the ability to turn your writing into editable text and email it to yourself. This is a key feature that Remarkable is charging monthly for. The scribe does well transcribing my writing and it is editable on the device before emailing it. The best part is it can read any kindle book, and play audible audiobooks (if you connect a Bluetooth headset or speaker!). It was so worth it!
