    Can’t believe it took me this long to buy my first Scribe. It’s an amazing tablet. I love reading on this device, and the writing is just nice. I just really wanted it for the reading , but sadly I will be returning the Scribe because I just found out the new model is about to be released. I also bought it when it was on sale for $140 off. That’s a good deal. I still recommend the scribe when its on sale if ur not planing on buying the new scribe ,it is pretty pricey

    This is my second kindle and the best one by far. LOVE the scribble feature and the battery life is almost unbelievable. The bigger screen is great for reading, so is the color/tone change feature. There really is not a single thing I would change on this.

    I didn't think I needed a Kindle, because I've been using the Kindle app on iPads since 2010. But it turns out the Kindle Scribe is awesome. Reading on it is a pleasant experience, and does not involve the distractions of the iPad. The battery life is awesome. I'll be able to read all the way from Seattle to Frankfurt next week, and maybe all the way back after New Year, without having to charge the device.

    The screen is easy to read in all types of light settings. I really like the writing capability. Feels like writing with a felt tip pen. I use it for audiobooks as well and works great.

    Im always taking hand written notes for work and when people want to see what i wrote, if have to transfer them to a word doc and send them over. Thats no longer the case! I write them on my scribe, save as a word doc and just send them instantly. This thing is a breeze to write on and easy on my eyes to read at night

    Kindle Scribe Review

    I love my Scribe and the ability to take notes and highlight sections. I was waiting on the new model but couldn’t pass up the deal I got and I am glad I bought it. It is easy to read with the backlight and the pen is very responsive. I would highly recommend going with a scribe over a regular Kindle as mine was well worth the upgrade.

    I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend, and she absolutely loves it. It's perfect for anyone who has a job with lots of meetings and administrative duties, and is also an avid reader. Hoping it will help replace the small library she's acquired.

    Great product like the duel function, getting more use out of it since its more than just an E book reader. Going to get one for my daughter she loves taking notes and highlights in her books. Battery life is amazing as well.

    I love my Kindle scribe!! It’s perfect for notetaking uploading PDFs anything I need right at my fingertips for work to be successful also the ability to be able to read books on it is even better!! if you’re thinking about one, you should go ahead and purchase this. I compared other scribe type tablets, and this one although had some kind of mixed reviews seemed like the best option and so far I am very happy.

    The larger size pages make it easier to read. Underlining and highlighting important passages helps me to remember and find material for future reference. Carrying my whole library with me is amazing and keeps me entertained whenever I find a moment. I use it nearly every day.

    Fantastic device and almost perfect

    This device is probably one of the most game-changing things available for people who read books and love writing notes in the margins. With the Scribe, you can take notes anywhere on a page using your own handwriting, and it will paste it into that position of the text like it's a Sticky-Note. The technology works well, but it takes a while to figure out how to position your writing so you can place the note in the exact location you want. Otherwise you're stuck writing a note and having it appear slightly away from where you wanted to place it. As for the stylus/pen, it's great. The premium pen and Scribe provide a wonderful almost paper-like feel to one's writing. And the eraser is even better than a real eraser. Before this model and software update appeared, I was stuck making notes in my Kindle books by typing them out on the keyboard, and then the moment I finished, the note would disappear and be replaced by a tiny superscript icon. It kind of defeats the purpose of leaving a note. But that problem has been remedied with this new handwritten notes technology. Also, the ability to underline is fantastic because I have a difficult time making straight lines, but the Scribe automatically takes my squiggly underlines and straightens them out. There are a couple of improvements that would make this a 5-star device: 1) color screen (the monochrome screen doesn't allow you to take advantage of the 4 different highlighter colors that the Kindle app offers). 2) converting handwritten notes within a Kindle book into a cleaner font. The fact that this exists in the Notebooks section of the Kindle but not within the actual Kindle books is probably an oversight.

    Does exactly what it says. I use it for reading, todo lists and diagram sketches for coding. 5/5 would buy again.
