The Scribe writing tablet exceeded my expectations!
I planned to purchase the Kindle Scribe and the ReMarkable, evaluate and return one. The Scribe, once you get the writing software working, has exceeded my expectations as a writing tablet. It is perfect, feels like writing on paper, and the pen choices are complete. I don’t draw, however. The scribe is the right size; any larger, and the weight might be a problem, but a bigger concern is that the software is not intuitive, and the connections between functions don’t flow. It is hard to figure out how to work the device. I fought to get the Scribe to be a writing device, and the marketing department obviously wrote the instruction manual: it describes what the Scribe can do, but little on how to get there.The device will convert handwriting to text, easily create a PDF, and send the file via email to print. The device does not have printer device drivers; it relies on the email function.Restart the device, and it is a traditional Kindle. After all these years, I have over a hundred Kindle books, and my only complaint is that Amazon loads the Kindle section with so many books to buy that it clutters the entire Kindle reading process. The software is not well-integrated between the writing and Kindle reading functions. I created a PDF and could add notes, but it was not easy to do, which brings me back to the Remarkable.After all these years and the wealth of Amazon, I believe the Scribe will be around, and they will eventually fix the klunky software and create a menu to access all the great features. I fear that ReMarkable might not last. I once spent three grand on a ‘high capacity’ Bernoulli Box, and a couple of years later, they were gone. The Amazon Kindle Scribe may be around for the long run.

1000% worth the cost 💰💸
OH. MY. GOD. 🤩🥳I have found the holy grail of e-reading. I upgraded by trading in my 10th gen paperwhite. When I received this bad boy (named $crim the Scribe lol), setup was a breeze bc I linked my amazon account to the purchase. I've had it for a week now and it's life changing in the best way 😍 **yes I'm aware you can see my folders & titles of my notebooks, idc lol**I have wanted to journal my whole life but never could stick with the hobby. I have been a journaling FIEND with this piece of technology. I've already made 13 notebooks, with all different kinds of layouts. The planner layout, checklist layout, & a regular notebook paper layout. I have 3 different journals and checklists out the WAZOO. I love writing on it, and I think my handwriting is so much prettier on it vs on actual paper 💀 I don't have any issues with the premium pen, but this is the first time I've used a pen like this lol. The eraser on the end is a little loose, but not to the point that it bothers me.The Kindle itself is super high quality **remember this review is coming from a previous 2018 paperwhite owner lol** It's not as durable as my paperwhite was that's for sure. I love that the button to wake it up is on the side because I put my thumb under the bottom sometimes to hold it while I'm reading. The screen is HUGE and my blind self loves that 🤣 I didn't realize the pen is magnetic and sticks to the side, I was like a cavewoman discovering fire when I found that feature lmaooo.Response time is lightyears faster than my paperwhite, and having 64GB of memory is a dream compared to the 8GB I had. The battery life is impressive, I have mine set to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. I don't let my devices get too low on charge so I don't know how many days it lasts with a LOT of writing in notebooks & reading. You're able to send documents to your kindle as well, and then write on them! It's super easy too. One of my notes from my iPhone took a while to transfer, but it still did it so no complaints here! You can customize a little more with this than on the paperwhite.The jade color is BEAUTIFUL, plus my constellation case is so CUTE & perfect for an astrology girlie like me 😍 It works like a dream with smooth & swift transitioning. It's condensed my planner, journal, & e-reader to ONE physical item. I won't have to spend money on yearly journals or continuously buy new journals saying "I'll start journaling now, this is the one." Of course manufacturing the item creates waste, but I like to think I'm helping the environment a little bit by not buying those physical items anymore 🌏✨I know the price is pricey (at least to me it is lmfao), but if you love reading, love to journal or want to get into the habit of journaling, BUY A KINDLE SCRIBE!!!!!! This was a purchase I know was worth it as soon as I got to play around with it ✨

Good for daily work and more uses.
It is my daily only note taker and more.I take a lot of notes in my work. I used to have several notebooks. Most of the time I keep losing them. I hesitate before getting this Kindle as I couldn't interact with a working model in stores. Then when it was on sale, I got this one. I don't regret it.It has the perfect size for portability, perfect screen brightness, good design and also a good reader.I like to upload pdf files to it and then work on them with the pen. Very useful in the lab or in meetings.It has a lot of nice features that keep amazing me. Also, it is an attention magnet.

Great for Reading and Note-Taking – Software Needs Work
I purchased the Kindle Scribe to rekindle (pun intended) my love of reading and to have a versatile tool for taking notes in both my work and personal life. Overall, it delivers on many fronts.Writing on the Scribe is a real pleasure — it’s smooth, accurate, and feels natural. The note-taking functionality is excellent for quick thoughts, meeting notes, or journaling. As an e-reader, it performs just as you'd expect from a Kindle: crisp display, comfortable on the eyes, and great battery life. I’ve also found the Send to Kindle and email integration very useful for moving documents and notes back and forth.My only real complaint is with the software. It can feel a bit sluggish at times, and switching between books and notes isn’t as seamless as I’d like. It takes several taps to move between sections, and I wish there were a faster way to jump between content and notes.That said, if you’re looking for a solid e-reader with excellent handwriting capabilities, the Kindle Scribe is a strong choice — especially if Amazon continues to refine the software.
