Kindle Scribe (2022 release) - 16 GB, the first Kindle and digital notebook, all in one, with a 10.2" 300 ppi Paperwhite display, with built-in notebook summarisation. Includes Basic Pen

My K-Scribe has become an integral part of my workflow and productivity, I would not be able to do many of the things I do now without it. As a notemaker, I have historically made do with carrying around several notebooks for different projects, which was impractical and increasingly cumbersome whilst travelling out and about. I primarily got the K-Scribe because: 1) As a notemaker, I wanted to limit the number of physical notebooks I had that was taking up space on my bookshelves and that I would carry about whilst doing my daily commute. 2) I also wanted continue to be able to read the numerous books I had on my Kindle Paperwhite. 3) I also wanted to be able to create my own planners and use. 4) To ensure that I had only one device and space where I could do all my planning and ideas generation. Since purchasing it I have to say that it has made note-making much easier, although one tiny cripe, that I wish Amazon would make a colour K-Scribe, with the ability to create your own custom templates.

I use this for most of my reading and note-taking.It feels like real pencil and paper, and the battery life is long. The tablet itself is sleek and lightweight. There's a lot of storage, with the option to listen to audiobooks as well!What has really impressed me, however, is the new AI capability to 'summarise' or 'refine' my notes. It can recognise my (sometimes illegible) handwriting and transform it into text (with font customisation) with an unbelievable amount of accuracy. In fact, I don't think I have noticed any mistakes!I also like the new side panel for note-taking while reading a book. It's much more efficient and streamlined than the previous version's capabilities.The only downside is that I have to change the replaceable pencil's nib quite often, but then I do take a lot of notes.Recommended.

I got this for my wife since I already own a Remarkable 2 (and got the scribe for less than a remarkable 2 and it came with a pen and great storage compared to remarkable 2). Decent writing experience (and far less issues with magnetic disturbance than the remarkable even though both are EMR tech. I also found it a bit on the heavier side and feels uncomfortable for long reads. Cases and covers from amazon are expensive so I opted for third party case and it makes the scribe heavier. My wife mostly uses it for notes and does not require too many templates so this works great for her.

The media could not be loaded. This is the device I didn’t know I needed. I soon ditched my iPad upon getting to use this as it is super simple to use. The battery life vs a tablet is incredible, the design is sleek and functional. Being able to change not only the brightness, but the warms of colour is very helpful in stopping eye strain. I use this for note taking (using Canva to create templates is super easy and helpful). I use this for sketching and doodling and of course to chill to my favourite books. I love the sound of the stylus on the kindle, it sound just like paper.

When Amazon launched the Kindle I was living in Australia and had to wait for some time for Amazon to release the Kindle there. I think it was about 2009, a year or two after it was launched in the US. From its very first US launch I knew I wanted one and when it became available in Australia I got one and it was everything I hoped it would be. I felt like I was on board the USS Enterprise from the Next Generation, I loved it. It had a physical keyboard and big chunky page turn buttons, things I miss today. Then I saw Amazon had released a big Kindle, the DX. I never owned one but I did get to play with one. An American colleague had one. I worked as a university lecturer and spent a lot of time reading journal articles my library had photocopied for me. They were also able to scan them and make PDFs. I yearned to read them on my beloved Kindle but on my little Kindle it just wasn’t a good experience.My colleague and I would sit and read PDFs on his DX. At the time I was still, foolishly, clinging on to my old Nokia phone and old and trusty PalmPilot. Reading on his DX we’d often point to things with a pen, so we could concentrate on certain parts of the document. It was fun to study documents that way, then one day I left my PalmPilot on the table next to the DX and we both looked at it and looked at each other. Basically we’d both invented the idea of the Scribe (so Amazon you can mail the royalty check any time :)).When Amazon did launch the Scribe I looked at some reviews and they all said to wait, it was a proof of concept but not a finished product, apparently it lacked some key features. Having played with the DX I knew the concept was great but I waited until now. I just purchased a Scribe and it is exactly what I wanted all those years ago. The only minor complaint is having to load my PDFs using the ‘Send to Kindle’ website or email them if I want to annotate and write on them, which I do. I can’t just hook it up to a computer and side load documents and use them. Minor, as it currently works ok. I love the various pen options and everything Amazon has added over the last year or so. Notebooks are great on the Scribe, I especially love the email export options, with OCR turning my handwritten notes to typed text, pretty accurately too. But the killer feature is the sending my notebooks as scannable PDFs.I love the Scribe, it’s not only the best Kindle I’ve ever had (and I currently have a 6th Gen Paper White and Kindle Oasis models) it is also the best note taking device I’ve used (iPad and BOOX Note Air). In just a year it has gone from a proof of concept device that had loads of promise to an incredible device thanks to just a few software updates, (the hardware was always fantastic) I can only imagine what the future of the Scribe holds and I’m looking forward to using this device for many years to come.
