It is so much faster than older models, being able to write notes is amazing.

I love the size of the screen on this kindle and its quick refresh rate when you turn to the next page. The green color is gorgeous and the writing experience is amazing. It feels like you’re really writing on paper. You can feel the friction on the tip of the stylus. Also, you can erase by using the eraser end and that eraser gives a bit and it too feels like a real eraser! I can go between reading my books and then writi g in the notebook section. I highly recommend this 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.

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

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 would recommend this to a friend

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.

I bough this since I wanted to take my notes (originally wanted the remarkable) but I got this since I also wanted to read. Honestly I like the fact I can read and take notes more than anything else.

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.

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 am very pleased with my purchase and would reccomend to any kindle fan. The screen is perfect for reading, but the writing experience cannot be beat.

Love the writing on this. Feels very close to writing on actual paper. But it is not going to be able to be my everyday reader. Too heavy.

I’m a huge note taker while reading - but taking notes on a paperwhite is similar to having teeth pulled. This ups note taking to an entire new level. Sometimes it is nice - but other times, I dont want to hold it. It’s a hair too large. If I were back in college, this would be an amazing product to have! I think they could improve their design in their next generation, like thinner bezels. But overall, a great kindle, if the price tage makes sense for uour useage.

I liked reading since I was a child and this is the best purchase, it has no ads, so do not get distracted. the light adapts and is perfect for reading I can make a list of my books to read and the ones I have already read is wonderful, the pen is easy to use and can be adapted to use with a shortcut and underline and I love to be marking my favorite lines. It is certainly a purchase that you will not regret having made.

Love how big it is and how easy it is to set up! The pen is amazing and writes well!! Love that I can adjust setting easy and write quick notes with ease.

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

Was looking for a tablet to help keep notes from meetings in order and capable of sending them out to others. This tablet mets those requirements with the added benefit of being able to write on documents and read books from my Amazon account. The writing on the tablet feels great and the conversion of the written text to digital is great with very few errors. Organization is great with the notebook feature, and the page formats allow me to insert the type of page I need. Its not as big as some of yhe other writing tablets but it works great for fitting in my bag without added bulk or quickly picking it up when running to a meeting.

As an e-reader its excellent. That said, I purchased the device to be a e-ink tablet for grad school. Its okay as a e-ink but definitely not the same writing experience as a remarkable. The palm rejection when writing is subpar and I often change the page while writing inadvertently. For the price, I just cant justify keeping this device. I spent over $500 with tax for this device and its just not worth the money. At $250-$300 this device would be a winner but for $449 it just doesn't make sense. Side note the Jade color is stunning in person. That made me give it 4 starts. Otherwise it would be 3 stars for me on this device.
