    I’m very happy with my Kindle Scribe! The large, crisp screen makes reading comfortable, and writing with the stylus feels smooth and natural - just like writing on real paper. It’s perfect for taking notes, journaling, and annotating books. The battery lasts for weeks, and the device itself is lightweight and stylish. However, there are a few downsides: not all books support handwritten notes, and the handwriting-to-text feature doesn’t recognize all languages yet. I hope Amazon improves this in future updates. Overall, it’s an excellent device for both reading and writing - inspiring and truly enjoyable to use!

    Kindle Scribe (32GB)

    I've been using the Kindle Scribe (32GB) for a few weeks now, and it has truly transformed my reading and note-taking experience.​ Design & Display: The 10.2-inch E Ink display is crisp and clear, making reading a pleasure. The adjustable front light ensures comfortable reading in various lighting conditions.​ Note-Taking: The included Premium Pen is responsive and feels natural to write with. I use it daily for journaling and work planning, and the AI handwriting recognition is impressively accurate.​ WIRED Best Buy Battery Life: Even with regular use, the battery lasts for weeks, which is a significant improvement over traditional tablets.​ Storage: The 32GB storage capacity is more than sufficient for my extensive library of books and documents.​ Considerations: While the device is slightly larger and heavier than previous Kindles, it's still portable. Also, the Premium Pen attaches magnetically, but the magnet could be stronger to prevent accidental detachment.​ Tom's Guide Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a versatile device that combines the joys of reading with efficient note-taking, the Kindle Scribe (32GB) is an excellent choice.

    Do yourself a favor and buy this! Perfect for reading, writing, note-taking and study. If I would’ve had this in college I would’ve had the best notes and probably mastered content way easier and faster. I love that I can download virtually any book I want, even most textbooks from what I can can see which is perfect for a student and often cheaper than buying paperback. I love the AI functionality also. It transcribes my handwritten notes with superb accuracy. It could have more fonts to choose from and a bit more added functionality geared towards the note-taking features like adding shapes and symbols into the notes. If you like drawing from time to time on an edevice this would probably work for you also as you can do shading effects. The versatility of this is amazing for such a great price point. You can even make to-do lists, calendars, you name it. You can also purchase template books and calenders from the book store if you don’t love the templates that are pre-loaded. This product is really a home run. I’ve never been happier and more excited about any other kind of tablet, kindle, iPad or note taking device I’ve owned. I found out I can copy and paste notes I’ve made in books into my notebooks which is SO useful. The notebooks come with several templates to choose from making it very versatile. Battery life is great. Even with frequent use it lasts for several days at least without worrying about charging it up. The penciled screensaver art is a nice touch and you don’t deal with ad bombarding from the other devices. I wish you could save it to only show the screensaver you want as some are a bit childish. All around favorite device I’ve owned. I’m reading and writing way more often since owning this kindle scribe. The size is perfect for reading and writing. Fits comfortably in my lap without strain, and the pen is awesome. You can change the settings for the button on the pen to a functionality you use often. Buy the case to protect it and it’s easier to prop up and hold on in your lap.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 love my Kindle Scribe. In addition to using it for notes at church and for reading, (and WRITING on my ebooks now), I also use it for a monthly meal planner in the Notes. It's incredibly helpful, feels more put together than the 1st version, and I really like it.
