    I love my scribe. I’m able to use it for reading (preferably in landscape mode!) and for personal lists/reminders. It also helps while I’m working for random reminders. Much less paper waste and notes lost.

    I purchased the kindle scribe for my daughter and she absolutely loves it! It puts her hatred for reading aside as she doesn’t feel like she’s reading since she’s not holding a thick book.

    On paper, this is an amazing device. In practice, what I wanted to use it for (journaling and meeting notes) became basically impossible given the lack of support for using PDFs easily as templates and understanding of advanced formats for notebooks. Amazon did the bare minimum for this Kindle and it shows. Hopefully this has or will change, but I basically pick it up every month or two just to see if they have made any real progress.

You can always contact Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to troubleshoot further and see if our most recent updates have addressed any of your specific needs for your device usage. One recommendation I would have if you aren't already is to be sure you are using the Send to Kindle feature on your PDFs and in order to have full functionality with your Pen be sure it is an unprotected PDF.

    To me, this beats the remarkable 2. The only problem to me is you cannot see your notes anywhere else. Remarkable has an app where you can see your notes when you're away from your notebook, but this one doesn't have that. Very smooth writing capabilities!

    I love having the ability to use it like paper. My only thing that i did not like was the pen needed replaced immediately because it was writing when the pen was an inch above the Scribe.

    I can’t say enough about this awesome way to go paperless. I use it everyday and love it. And it’s great to use for reading books. It writes with a paper feel and it has helped me get more organized.

    Great but little glitching I write on the line but it writes below it. And sometimes I write and it doesn’t registers so I write a second time but when page refresh the undetected writing comes back and it over laps. Small things like that but good product

    The build quality is very nice and the hardware features like adjustable lighting and buttons are great. but the software and features just aren’t that useful yet. I honestly believe that as features get added this device will get better. But as of now, it is difficult to recommend based on the current limitations. The Remarkable 2 has a much more robust note taking feature set. Once Kindle software improves, Remarkable will need to up their game.
