Amazon Kindle Scribe (32 GB) – Redesigned display with uniform borders. Now write directly on books and documents. With built-in notebook summarisation. Includes Premium Pen – Tungsten Grey

I have had the scribe for some time now and can honestly say I love it. This gets used every day for notes for work and work documents for reading and also for listening to audiobooks. So why do I use this over my IPad?(which I also love) well ther are few reasons 1. Writing- It feels really good to write on, it gives a pleasant scratchy feel so it isn’t like writing on ice but feels very paper like & I can rest my hand on the pad while writing without it going balmy. 2. Files - I can separate my notebooks, so I have a work day book a scrap pad for making notes while on calls or mapping ideas or presentations, my grandson has his own folder where he can draw and doodle and when I go conferences or specific events I have a note book for these so it dosnt get lost in my work day book, and all this in one device so no more scraps of paper cluttering my desk or car, no loosing notes and most important not carrying different notebooks 3.Kindle & Audible- I use both of these services in my everyday life, it is how I switch off, relax and reset and these gives the use of both, I love the big screen for comics and I am still fascinated by whisper sync the best feature Amazon has ever released, reading of standard books is good the screen is very adaptable so you adjust so you can read without wearing glasses something as a new glasses user appreciates (I can’t get use to wearing them) 4. Documents - this is more for the wider kindle infrastructure but uploading docs is so easy, using the document upload feature is so easy and again this feature means I have access to all my work related docs in one location without carrying 15 brochures in my bag when seeing customers and I never forget the one I need!!! All in all I can’t recommend this product enough and I look forward to the coloursoft version because that will make comic books pop and will be better for my work related brochures.

Absolutely incredible for work - it's made it so much easier to read and take notes on documents, books and PDFs. Notebooks can be converted to text and emailed on so ideal for a lightweight device to take notes or work on the move. Beautiful design and really easy to write on - the screen has a really good brightness variation for those who like it light or dark. Battery lasts several days of continuous use and is just all around ideal.

I'm a massive fan of eink devices. I have been using Kindle e-readers since the beginning and have been waiting for the Amazon to release a large screen e-reader since they discontinued the DX. I have been using the Supernote for the last couple of years and wouldn't be without a device like that. It has the Kindle app and does an amazing job as a digital notebook. I am largely comparing the Scribe with that. As an ebook reader... I'll start by saying I love the bigger screen. I've always felt the normal Kindles are a great size for taking with you in a small bag or when hitting the beach / pool side on holiday. However, I much prefer a bigger screen the rest of the time... which is most of the time. As a result I love the Scribe. I love Kindles in general for reading and am fine with the Amazon ecosystem. The reading experience here is everything I love about the Kindle just on a bigger screen. As a notepad... The note taking functionality is definitely still in the early stages of its lifecycle. My Supernote is miles ahead. Having said that, the Supernote didn't release with all its current functionality. I would also argue I don't really use much of what it is capable of. You can add headings that can be navigated. This is really cool and I used it loads at the start. I still mark headings but I can't remember the last time I actually navigated them. Useful but not essential. General navigation is much better on the Supernote as it's much easier to jump between notebooks, especially if you have them in folders. But as is the way of digital notebooks like these, simplicity is a feature. The feature creep on the Supernote means it is now not the simple device it once was. I'm actually enjoying the simplicity of the note taking on the Scribe. Having said all this, I'm only talking about notebooks. I do not and therefore have not written notes on ebooks. The current implementation of inserting blocks into the page and wrapping the text around them seems like a terrible idea. They need to go back to the drawing board on that one. The pen is probably the next thing to discuss. I really like writing on the Scribe. I wish the stylus was more like a real pen, like it is on the Supernote. I want the feel of a pen and I want a cap like a pen. The eraser on the back end is really good and feels great to use. There is just enough resistance to almost feel like a pencil eraser. I also wish it didn't need replacement nibs. The Supernote uses ceramic tips and a special screen protector on the device. Not the end of the world to replace the tips but I'd rather not have consumables. All in all this is a very good, if simple, note taking device. I really like it and will happily continue to use it. It is my favorite Kindle for reading books. Having both in one device is really cool. There is still lots of room for software updates to improve things, and I expect Amazon are focusing on the notebook side as it is the USP for the Scribe.

Cuando surgieron los primeros ebooks, todos tuvimos la esperanza de, por fin, poder leer en un soporte digital como si fuera físico. La tinta electrónica revolucionó las pantallas y el efecto de leer en una de ellas, como si fuera papel, nos entusiasmó a los buenos aficionados a la lectura. Desde entonces, la tecnología no solo ha mejorado, incluyendo avances como el panel táctil y la iluminación frontal, sino que ha ido un paso más allá. Pero, para mí, siempre ha habido un escollo importante en estos dispositivos: el tamaño, un hándicap aún mayor que el tema del color. Nunca he tenido la sensación de sostener un libro de verdad y, al final, siempre he tenido que volver al formato físico para solventarlo. Hasta ahora. El Kindle Scribe es un gran ebook de 10 pulgadas que no deja de ser la versión mayor del Kindle Paperwhite, con muchos añadidos y acabados premium. De entrada, notaremos su incremento de peso respecto a sus hermanos pequeños —aunque para mí no supone un problema— y su parte trasera de aluminio, muy suave y delicada al tacto. Su tamaño es lo más parecido a un libro de bolsillo que podemos tener entre las manos. Se acabó eso de pasar páginas cada 40 segundos; aquí podemos orientar la imagen en horizontal y partirla en dos para que la sensación de estar leyendo un libro de verdad sea total. Las opciones de configuración de letras, espaciados y párrafos son absolutas y, con el formato KFX, al incluir guiones en palabras largas, el justificado del párrafo es mucho más homogéneo. No solo se disfruta con libros: el manga es otro gran beneficiado del gran formato, pudiéndose leer sin ningún problema en cualquiera de las dos orientaciones. El Kindle Scribe es más que un ebook de lectura. Como su nombre indica, una de sus mayores virtudes es la posibilidad de escritura. Quizás no sea una cualidad que vaya a ser aprovechada por todos los usuarios, pero es, sin duda, una característica que sorprende cuando se usa. Gracias a la rugosidad de su pantalla y al estilo del lápiz, da una sensación real de estar escribiendo sobre papel. Hasta que no se prueba, no se puede imaginar lo bien que está conseguida. La única pega es que las puntas del lápiz se agotan como las de verdad y toca tirar de recambios cada cierto tiempo. Quizás se podrían mejorar las opciones de software, pues estoy convencido de que tiene muchas posibilidades aún no explotadas. Pese a todo lo positivo del Kindle Scribe, hay algo que sigo sin entender de Amazon: esa cabezonería por cerrar el formato. Es absurdo, y más cuando muchos de nosotros tiramos de servicios como eBiblio para leer. Es incomprensible seguir aferrándose solo a su formato y va siendo hora de abrir el ecosistema del dispositivo, especialmente cuando existen programas como Calibre. No me cabe duda de que sus ventas subirían exponencialmente. Con todo lo bueno, que es mucho, y lo malo, que podría solucionarse si Amazon quisiera, el Scribe es posiblemente el mejor ebook del mercado. Ahora que está próxima su versión en color, habría que valorar cuál sería mejor para uno mismo, aunque la diferencia de precio seguramente no me merecería la pena si lo que buscas es una buena lectura y hacer anotaciones sobre PDF y otros documentos.

After my excellent experience with the Kindle Paperwhite, I decided to buy the Kindle Scribe so I could take my books everywhere and organize all my notes on a single device. I really liked that you can use PDF templates to create a planner or manage an annual budget, in addition to all the included templates for creating notebooks. To get the most out of the Kindle Scribe, you need to understand what it is and how it works, as this device might not be for everyone. If you're looking for an e-reader to take notes and organize your day, this is the perfect device for you. But if you're looking to use it to browse the internet, watch videos, or look at photos like you would on a tablet, this device isn't for you, as it wasn't designed for that purpose. Regarding the flickering mentioned in many negative reviews, you should understand that this is normal for e-ink screens; it's how they clear the previous page. Screen and writing: The 10.2” screen with E Ink technology is very comfortable for the eyes, even after several hours of use. The stylus responds precisely, and the writing feel is natural, very similar to paper. It is ideal for notes, lists, and annotations in documents. Battery: The battery lasts for several weeks with mixed read and write use, which is a big plus. Pros: *I can read all my digital books just like on my previous Kindle *I can create different types of notebooks that suit my needs *I can transfer PDF templates like planners and write directly in them *Large, crisp screen *Smooth, precise writing *Excellent battery life *Ideal for reading and productivity Cons:I have nothing negative to say about the Kindle Scribe; it meets all my needs and expectations. In conclusion: I recommend the Kindle Scribe to students, professionals, and readers who need a large reading device with writing capabilities. It's an excellent option if you're looking to combine reading and note-taking in a single device. I've included photos of the product in actual use for your reference.

Lo Scribe si presenta molto bene con finiture in metallo, ottima dimensione dello schermo, buona risoluzione e toni di grigio. Leggero a sufficienza per poterlo tenere con una sola mano. Retroilluminazione regolabile sia in luminosità che temperatura colore. La lettura è estremamente riposante. Via USB è possibile passare file PDF che vengono vializzati nella libreria : per quelli che ho provato, manualistica professionale, non ho avuto problemi di visualizzazione. Un po' di confusione si crea avendo i PDF assieme ai libri in libreria : sarebbe stato meglio avere due sezioni separate, ma sono dettagli. L'uso della penna è veramente ottimo, la sensazione è quella di scrivere su carta, buoni i vari tipi di penna anche se non sono perfette a sfruttare l'inclinazione o la pressione. Comunque un ottimo livello per la scrittura a mano e per prendere note. È sicuramente un ottimo prodotto per leggere libri, PDF e prendere appunti (non saprei per disegnare). L'unica pecca forse è che le note sui libri vengono scritte all'interno di caselle inserite tra il testo, non sovrapposte come invece si più fare con molti lettori PDF per PC o tablet (ma anche questo è un dettaglio). In conclusione lo consiglio, meglio se durante un periodo di sconti ..

Ich habe mir den Kindle Scribe im Rahmen eines Upgrade-Angebots zugelegt und damit meinen rund zehn Jahre alten Kindle Paperwhite ersetzt. Auch wenn ich zusätzlich ein aktuelles Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 nutze und darauf die Kindle App installiert habe, empfinde ich das Lesen und Schreiben auf dem Scribe als deutlich angenehmer. Das Display ist augenschonend, gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet und spürbar weniger belastend für die Augen als bei meinem Tablet. Sehr positiv fällt mir das Schreibgefühl mit dem Premium Eingabestift auf, der präzise reagiert und sich natürlich anfühlt. Die Schrifterkennung funktioniert ebenfalls sehr gut, allerdings ausschließlich bei handschriftlichen Notizen in den dafür vorgesehenen Notizbüchern. Bei PDF-Vorlagen steht diese Funktion leider nicht zur Verfügung. Trotzdem ist der Scribe für meine Zwecke äußerst praktisch. In meinem Schützenverein nutze ich ihn, um selbst erstellte PDF-Formulare bei Veranstaltungen direkt digital auszufüllen, ohne sie vorher ausdrucken zu müssen. Das spart Zeit, Arbeit und Papier und funktioniert im täglichen Einsatz zuverlässig. Das größere Display ist beim Lesen und Bearbeiten von PDFs ein deutlicher Vorteil. Auch als klassischer E-Reader macht der Scribe einen hervorragenden Eindruck. Die Darstellung ist klar, kontrastreich und auch bei langem Lesen oder Arbeiten angenehm für die Augen. Was ich allerdings schade finde, ist das fehlende Immersion Reading. Die Kombination aus gleichzeitigem Lesen und Hören mit hervorgehobenem Text nutze ich in der Kindle App regelmäßig. Auf dem physischen Kindle Scribe wird diese Funktion jedoch nicht unterstützt, was ich als unnötige Einschränkung empfinde. Das Whispersync for Voice funktioniert dagegen sehr gut und ermöglicht das einfache Wechseln zwischen Buch und Hörbuch bzw. umgekehrt. Der Kindle Scribe überzeugt mich durch sein hervorragendes Display, das angenehme Schreibgefühl und seine echte Alltagstauglichkeit, besonders beim Ausfüllen von PDF-Vorlagen. Die fehlende Schrifterkennung bei PDF-Formularen und das nicht unterstützte Immersion Reading sind kleine Schwächen, ändern aber nichts daran, dass der Scribe insgesamt ein sehr gelungenes Gerät ist und ich froh über den Wechsel bin. 5 von 5 Sternen
