    i love my Kindle Scribe. I love that in addition to reading, i can also use it for note-taking and writing. I have another e-ink tablet (Supernote), and i find writing on Kindle Scribe so much better. I use it everyday for personal journaling or for work planning. I love that it vibes with a good quality pen that has an eraser, which is very useful. The battery lasts long despite daily use. I travelled for two weeks, i never had to recharge. I highly recommend.

    Love it!! Just started reading finishing my 2nd book so decided I wanted a kindle,but had been wanting the scribble for a while since the whole digital notebooks started to come out , but wanted something like an actual notebook, so i investigated, but short story 1 year later, i started to like reading and wanted a kindle so what better way to fulfill both thing that i wanted,by getting a kindle scribe , so far its been a month and love it , I do wish it had some color to make it better, but love that i can read in the dark but yetbstill have that feeling of reading and actual book,theres still alot of things to learn on it, but so far its great

    This has been a fantastic note-taking and reading device, especially after updates. Really feels like riding on actual paper. 10/10.

    Great for reading books and note taking. Easy writer and it feels almost like writing on paper. I use it to take notes at work and it works great. One thing I would say is that once you add the case it gets a bit heavy but nothing too crazy. Battery life is amazing, I've only charged it on the first day and almost 2 weeks into it the battery is at 48%. My only gripe is when transferring PDFs could be pretty confusing and frustrating at times. I don't know if I'm missing something but I can't seem to find how to put in on landscape mode to read while placing it horizontally on the case. Love the fact that I can't "squirrel" into the internet and keeps me focused with the notes and the reading. So far pretty satisfied.

    This thing is awesome. I bought one for my wife because she is a reader and note taker. After playing with hers I had to get myself one. She loves it for reading and says the size is perfect. I don't read at all but I do take a little of notes. Writing on this thing is so good. It's like paper but you can make folders and files and organize everything. It's light and thin. The battery lasts forever and with a cheap case from Amazon it's really a slick device. I have a lot of tablets laptops and phones and this has got to be one of my favorite devices because it's so different.

    Used to read on the Kindle app for iPad, however terrible sun glare made reading impossible during the day, especially outside. This device with its special screen does not reflect the sun and allows me to read in any condition. The backlight feature also allows reading at night. This light does shorten battery life, but I have been reading for 2 weeks and still don't need to recharge the device. The writing seems more of a gimmick to me at this point, but it has become useful to replace paper, especially things like shopping lists for me as I use this instead now. The writing is very responsive and feels fantastic, almost just like paper and pen. Only knock I have is ability to connect to internet and download things like PDFs for use when I'm doing research at school, which would be a great addition.

    Love it, you can read books and write stuff. Does exactly what is says it will. I enjoy the writing experience and well the reading experience is superb. I guess if you don't get ebooks from amazon it might be a bit more complicated to get them in, but I haven't really looked much into it since most of my library is on kindle. the only thing I wish it had, and its more of an amazon thing Thant the scribe, is to be able to have it read it to me while still looking at the words like on the kindle phone app, as opposed to switching to the audible app, but that is something that happens on all kindles. The only real negative and positive is the size. When I am just reading in bed, I wish it was a bit smaller, but when it comes to writing it is a very good size. So it just depends, but that is more situational.

    It's great, the size is nice and writing on it feels good, it has a matte surface, so it feels like writing on paper. Very responsive, slightly heavier than preferred but not such a big build that I would not use it.

    This is a great little device and I use it everyday from reading to writing notes in class to even using it as scrap paper in math class. It's cool because everyone is interested in what you have when you pull it out and they think it's the coolest thing ever. I'm glad it's an amazon product because it syncs right with my amazon account and all my files are really easy to get to on my computer.

    Kindle Scribe

    I'm a purchaser of all types of kindels for many years. The Scribe is one of my favorites for daily use. I still use my smaller kindles for reading in bed and on the go but the Scribe gives me the ability to make lists,play crossword, word search, and sudoku puzzles. Love the fact that it feels and sounds like writing on paper. The premium pen completes the package for many hours of entertainment.

    The Kindle Scribe is a great device for reading and writing. I live the 10” screen. The writing experience is as close a you can get to pen/pencil and paper. I do wish it was able to convert written notes to text and ability to write notes on all books rather than just some. Hopefully they will add these features in the future.

    Love it. Writing on the device is smooth and better than the Kobo Sage. battery life is noticeably better then the kindle oasis. I don’t like the post it note style when kobo allows you to write directly on the book so in that aspect Kobo Sage is better. I really like the notepad on the Kindle scribe, flawless writing.

    I love this Kindle. The size alone had me sold. I’m not constantly flipping pages, because so much text can be displayed on the screen. As a bonus, the writing experience is very smooth. This has been a great upgrade from my Oasis.
