    The Kindle Scribe combines the joy of reading with the convenience of note-taking. Its large, crisp display is easy on the eyes, and the included pen feels natural for writing or annotating books. Battery life is impressive, and the sleek design makes it portable. A perfect tool for readers and learners.

    i think it’s genuinely a good device. whether you need a larger screen or you use it for notes— it gets the job done. it isn’t entirely seamless, sometimes there are minor issues when writing notes on a pdf to where the box forms and it cuts off, but writing itself is lovely. you feel like you are writing on paper— rare to come by! the lack of highlights for color definitely takes some points off in my opinion, but overall, would recommend

    I enjoy the convenience of having multiple notebooks in one place, even one to jot down quick notes from phone calls. Most of all being able to make notes directly in my books. The only knock I have is the price.

    This reader is great. I love the way it feels in my hand. The paper white screen is very easy on the eyes. The battery life is phenomenal. I'm not using the writing feature as much as I thought I would but I have a few time. Sometimes I use the stylus just to navigate thru the book.

    Perfect for reading, and the screen is very wide, so that a lot more gets onto the screen. I haven't yet tried any templates or made any notebooks but that is why i purchased, so i will be doing that soon. I did look at the notebook feature, and it's very easy to do. I am glad to invest in this as i have quite a large collection of kindle books and also will input pdf files, specifically crochet patterns!! I bought this on sale. The full price was a little steep for my budget.

    - Beautiful display - The stlyus feedback is so good. You get so many types of options of styles to choose from - marker, pen, fountain pen. The delay is non existent and the e-paper feel is too nice. Love writing on it. - Battery life is phenomenal. It has been months since I bought it and I have only charged it like twice.

    I absolutely love my Kindle Scribe! It makes creating to-do lists and writing in my calendar so easy and inspiring.The writing experience feels smooth and natural, and I love being able to switch between reading and taking notes or highlighting all in one place.

    Fantastic device for any doer. Closest feel to paper and pencil I’ve used so far. 4 star rating is for it being locked up with proprietary system and doesn’t allow you to use any type of custom template easily.

    Compatibility with pdfs is great. The screen doesn't hurt your eyes after hours of use. Slight burn in of orchids pages, but it will fade. The stylus is nice. UI is slightly clunky.

    After deciding to change up my heading habits and advance from a blue light screen that was harming my eyes to a Kindle, I haven’t looked back. I bought my scribe new and a few months after, the display had a faint line vertically about where the battery percentage is. After talking to Amazon support, they agreed to replace it. I then received a refurbished device and despite bringing it to their attention, I couldn’t get a new replacement. Even though it was refurbished vs the new device I originally bought, it’s been stellar in every way so I’m pleased with the device and the support.

    I really liked the idea of having a reader and a notepad in one. My wife, however, decided to stick with their Kindle reader and boogieboard.
