Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did my research between this tablet and the Remarkable. The one main thing that led me to this one is that I could read my Kindle books on the Scribe, whereas with the Remarkable tablet, I can do that. I do use the Scribe between work and personal, and if there is one thing that I wish the Scribe was able to do, is to transcribe my hand written notes and convert them to type, so that would be my only complaint, if that's what you would call it. I am still glad I went with the Scribe, it's a good product.

LOVE it. Good quality and easy to use. Love the note taking. Also good customer service when I came into Best buy to purchase.

I have a paper white but I wanted a notepad too. These are great little devices and I love storing my books electronically and being able to increase the size of the print easily so I don't even need glasses to read. This one is a fun little gadget too. There are only two things that bother me about these and they are true with ALL of these little readers. 1. The processors are soooo slow. Turning the page, once your book is loaded is no problem. The writing, erasing...that's fast and responsive. But scrolling through your library is like using those old "lollypop" pad toys. click, wait, click, wait...it's maddening. And 2. if you have a lot of books, like I do, these aren't super "bookshelf" friendly. Sometimes I just want to browse and find what I want to read. You can separate audio books from kindle and you can select your categories that you've set up but, for some reason, not all of my silence fiction books show up in that category, even though they show up as put in that category on my other device. I have to go to the layout that DOESN'T separate my audio from my kindle, look for an author and then...click, wait, click, wait. I think the price is a little high on these for the slow motion library searches but, overall, if you are just looking for something fun to read and write with and trying to clear the bookshelf wall, these are nice. A whole library on your coffee table and, once you get past the search and peck and find your book, you are golden. Same with the notebook. Once you're in, you're good.

We purchased this product to act as a virtual journal for my husband and it has been better than we hoped! Long lasting battery, excellent display, AI capabilities are exceptional! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good read or journal alternative.

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.

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

The Kindle Scribe is an excellent way to read. And it looks well. I like the white background with black text, just like a regular book. I rarely write with it as my script is horrible. It will convert script to text, but you can't change the typeface.

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.

I love how simple it is to get the hang of it, and how it keeps distractions away. It’s super smooth when writing.

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.

Excellent for note taking. Easy to use. Battery life lasts me about a week. Recommended to couple of people and they love it as well

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.

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.

Amazing device. And looks great. Has replaced mountains of legal pads and shelves of books. Battery life is amazing and the writing experience is fantastic

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

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.

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.

It feels like im reading a paperback or hardback book. Worth the money. Also the battery life is amazing. I can read all day and still wont have to charge the battery until the next day.

Battery life is measured in days instead of hours. Perfect for handwritten notes.

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.
