    I write this having never experienced any other e-ink note-taking device. I have extensive experience with every other paperwhite reader though. Kindle hands down make the best paperwhite readers and this one is probably the best, most fluid reader I've had...and if you get the right case (NOT the folio kindle sells for 60 dollars, see my review of that under the item for more), it's quite comfortable even as just a large paperwhite reader. Obviously, if you're buying this you're not just in it for a paperwhite reader, if that's the case I recommend the 11th gen kindle paperwhite (I don't recommend the Oasis because its battery life is not nearly as good as the 10th or 11th gen, I've used them all, so I speak from experience), it's much more affordable than a scribe. Back to this scribe, it's awesome when taking notes and editing novels. You can send your own novels to the device, though I did have some trial and error doing so. I found that sending as word doc was the best because it presents your work as a book...with pdf I didn’t like how when I zoomed in it didn’t readjust to the pages etc. The scribe is super responsive and I like how the fountain pen makes my handwriting a little neater some how. I am looking forward to the update that's on the way that will let your in book notes STAY where you put them. It's annoying how it will throw the note box just wherever as it is now. I also look forward to having a place on the side to make notes, which they said will be coming soon. If you have the original scibe, I don't see the point in upgrading because all of the updates will be coming to you too, but I bought this because I didn't have any scribe. Overall, this is a solid purchase and is a bit less than the remarkable paper pro...for what I need it for, I couldn't justify spending the extra money on a remarkable etc.

    Lots of good stuff but a couple of drawbacks.

    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.

    I love the versatility of the Kindle Scribe. The ability to wrote notes or sketch was a selling point for me. Unfortunately it didn’t fit my needs at this time.

    I love this! I have an iPad, phones, an older Kindle Fire. This is so great to use as a notebook, as well as a less distractable reader. I have been so happy with this purchase. I can use a habit tracker, read books, mark up books, note book for doodling, list, etc.

    Great product and easy to purchase. I bought the Kindle for my daughter and when I went online it was hard to find. Once I got on the Best Buy site I was able to purchase and I picked it up a few hours later.

    I love it! I can keep all my notebooks on one device and send PDFs to myself. It feels like I am writing on actual paper. I bought a cute case that makes it look like a composition notebook. I enjoy reading on it, too.

    This product is amazing! I am left handed and for me I haven't had any issues with pad reading the stylus. It writes in a fluid manner and i use this everyday for work and for reading. It's easy on the eyes and very simple to start up and operate. I can't compre to other writing tablets for this is my first one. I would highly recommend especially if the price is right.

    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.

    Bought this for my wife who's been wanting a Kindle for awhile. She reads a lot. Also, she, like me, still likes to take written notes in meetings. I use another (great) product to take digital notes and have been trying to get her to change over for awhile now for organization and reducing paper usage. I'm jealous and may have to steal it from her. Best of both worlds.

    Preferred over the ReMarkable ... AI and Reading

    Purchased with a gift card from points I earned on a credit account and an upgrade from the Kindle Paperwhite. This is a HUGE improvement over my iPad pro’s overly-slick glass screen with Paperlike screen film. I’m able to write normally with far less hand strain. The AI text conversion and summarization is what set it apart from Remarkable’s entry. I would like to see the ability to link notes come to this device as a future upgrade soon.
