    Bulky, heavy and not practical for reading. Notebook features are good, but overall I prefer a smaller version

      Hi NellyV,

      We are sorry you are not enjoying the Kindle Scribe. It is our largest Kindle offered with premium note taking features. This Kindle was built for users to read and write comfortably on the largest Kindle display. See, hear, and feel your thoughts meet the page with every stroke of the Premium Pen across the textured screen. Writing on Kindle Scribe feels like writing on paper. You can experience the added magic of built-in notebook summarization, and with Active Canvas create space for your notes in books. You can also import and mark up documents and PDFs as you wish!

      If you are using this device to read only, another Kindle model will be a better fit for your needs! For any further questions you can call Amazon customer service, available 24/7 for assistance on the device. You can reach us at 1-888-280-4331!

      Hope that helps! AmazonDevices

    My daughter loves it but I'm not so sure... She's only 11 years old and extremely bright and reads voraciously... As long as she's reading, I'm good!!!

    I found this to be a great device if you just want a reader. The scribe part works just OK. It does a reader great but the added cost for the scribe is not worth the extra. I also did not like I could not add applications. My existing iPad works better for me.

      Hi MarkyMark! Thank you for taking the time to review the Kindle Scribe. I'm sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with it. While both Kindles and iPads are useful devices, they serve different purposes. Kindles are made especially for reading, featuring e-ink screens that are easier on the eyes, longer battery life, and a design that helps enhance your reading experience. I hope this information helps you understand the differences better. Thanks again for your feedback! AmazonDevices

    Disappointed

    I got this unit for Christmas and was super excited. Set up was easy, drawing feature is pretty good especially for being what it is..it’s not paper and pencil obviously but close to it. However, on the second day of use the unit started to flash yellow. It sat there turned off, fully charged, just going crazy. I reset it, and it continued to flash yellow. I mean without stopping. Of course we had to return it. I understand from searching on internet I am not the only one who had that sort of issue with kindle scribe. Too bad.
