The perfect e notebook device. In comparison to other e notebooks this to me, is top tier. Especially comparing to the price of its competitors. The battery life is one of the most satisfying features. It’s also serves as a really good e-reader. Although, it’s a bit large at 10” it’s still lighter and more comfortable reading from as opposed to a typical tablet. Reading from an e ink display for hours spoils you and your eyes when it’s come to the Kindle scribe and their vast selection of books will always have options for any reader with the Kindle Unlimited subscription which is a great value for anyone who buys 1-2 books a month.
-USB C is also another plus when charging or manually uploading your own books or pdf’s.
The power button is now located in a much more thoughtful location, unlike the kindle paperwhite… so you’re less likely to accidentally hit the power button and don’t even get me started with the paper like feel of the glass when writing with the the pen. It also accurately reflects handwriting without slippage of the hand. Speaking of which it’s does a perfect job of negating the hand on the device when writing. And the pen doesn’t need to charge like the iPad so it’s always ready. 32gb of internal storage is way more than needed when storing notes and books borrowed or purchased. If you manage to catch one on sale, DO NOT HESITATE! LOL

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.

I was hesitant to get the Scribe. I’ve wanted an e-ink tablet for a while and had looked at the Remarkable for years. But didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription to use the key features you want one of these tablets for.
Well, the scribe exceeded the expectations and is a blast to use.
The screen backlighting is adjustable warm/cool as well as brightness. And it looks great on both ends of the scale. Using the pen feels great! And the “eraser” is satisfying too. Included for free with the device is the ability to turn your writing into editable text and email it to yourself. This is a key feature that Remarkable is charging monthly for. The scribe does well transcribing my writing and it is editable on the device before emailing it.
The best part is it can read any kindle book, and play audible audiobooks (if you connect a Bluetooth headset or speaker!).
It was so worth it!

I love this! One of the best purchases I've ever made actually. I read a lot of book series and being able to have them all with me without lugging them around is amazing, but I really got this for the scribe portion. It gives all sorts of templates to organize your entire life: calendars, to do lists, daily/weekly/month planners, notebook paper, blank drawing paper, story board, music lines, graph paper - anything you could possibly want (picture attached for example). You can then put them all into organized folders so you don't a have a random assortment of papers everywhere in your Notebook library. If you're also someone who likes to write things down (and quickly before you lose the idea heh) but doesn't want to lose papers or carry a stack of notebooks/calendars with you, this is quite literally a game changer that was worth every penny in my opinion!

This works great and the updates they add really have improved the performance. I use it as someone with dyslexia and can customize the font for easier reading and love being able to take notes in books. Might get one for my wife who loves to make to do lists, it’s great not losing a physical book or list and having this!

Bought this as a gift for wife and she loves it! She particularly enjoys reading all night long because of the long battery life. She takes notes on it at work and basically never without it.

The Kindle Scribe really got me into daily reading. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing like a good-smelling, crispy page book. But there’s something about Kindle that makes me want to pick it up more often. I love the Scribe because you can highlight text that you want to revisit later or just find inspiring. You can create different notebooks for different needs. For example, I have a notebook for creative writing, lyric writing, daily planning, journaling and so much more. As far as the reading, it’s really just like the other kindles but on a bigger screen. The scribe aspect is where it stands out and it’s just so cool! The feel of the pencil on paper is spot on. There are different pens and thicknesses to choose from, the pencil has an eraser on the back so you can just flip it around and erase, no need to switch to an eraser setting. I really love everything about my kindle scribe and am excited to see what more I accomplish with it!

I love using this in horizontal mode because it allows for 2 pages on the screen emulating an actual book. It has also come in handy many times at work for notes and marking up PDFs. The battery life is impressive. At the time of writing, I have only charged it upon first opening it and that was a month ago

My favorite Kindle by far!!! I was hesitant because i dont really need it for anything but reading. I thought having a textured screen to write on that it may not be as crisp as the other’s screens. But it is FANTASTIC. Love the size sooo much. My favorite by far. And i have the Oasis and paperwhite. Such a joy to read on bigger screen and feels like book size.

I love my kindle! This kindle is the prefect Segway from transitioning from a paperback book to a Kindle device. What I like most about this kindles that it does have the writing feature to where you’re able to make notes. Also, another one of my favorite things is that when you’re reading the book and don’t know the definition of a certain word you just press and hold it and it will bring out the definition! Highly recommend!

I imagine this would also go a long way for the visual artist, but as a screen writer and prolific reader i'm blown away! The refresh rate, pen function, organization, and overall improved e-reader functionality is to die for. I use it every day and can happily say. I got rid of my paper-white it was nothing.

i absolutly love this device. so much larger than e readers I've used in the past. i don't think i could ever go back to the smaller one. also the scribe is very impressive when writing with it, it has a pen scratch sound that is natural, as in not audio! it sounds and feels so good gliding on the face of the kindle.

I didn't think I would feel like this.
I am not technologically inclined, and this device is very user friendly. I had a "ko bo e lips a" but I returned it for several reasons, difficulty of use and poor build quality being the primary issues.
I absolutely LOVE writing on this! I got it for school to help with my dyslexia (regular computer screens make extended reading difficult) but I am falling in love with writing!
I'm a poor college student with 3 kids so I don't often make big purchases, but this one is worth it in my mind. I have dysgraphia as well and this helps me not to tire my arm out quickly when writing. The responsiveness is so cool, go check one out at the store if you are unsure!

I've been using Kindle's for years, most recently an Oasis, and love them so much. They're so simple and dont have a lot of frills. The software/OS isn't perfect. Sometimes I wish the Kindle store (for buying books) was better. But the addition of the stylus is so much fun. I know its for taking notes and highlighting but I also just love drawing with it.
