## Description

Kindle Scribe

Review: Wonderful - I’ve had my scribe for a few weeks now and while I rarely write reviews, thought I would for this since I’ve had kindles since they came out. First, I’ve had kindles hd and the paperwhite and while I like the paperwhite better for my eyes, I’ve not found one I consistently used one, since the kindle DX (which only recently died), because the screens were so small. I have trouble with my eyes and need to enlarge the print, so the small kindles really don’t work as well for me. That said, I still have a kindle hd with my scribe. I haven’t tried the website on the scribe — I don’t see it — and I like to be able to look things up based on what I read as I’m reading so that is an advantage to the hd. I’ll have to see about the web browser on the scribe when I find it (I missed the return date on the hd too, so that’s why I have it. I love the larger size of the scribe. This and the pencil are what really sold me. I feel like I have my dx back (off only it had cellular!!!), my favorite kindle ever. It allows me to enlarge the font based on how my eyes feel, which is great when I pass the 3 hour mark. I also love the ability to change the screen from grey to a warmer color. I am one who prefers warmer colors to cool colors, so that’sa nice thing they added. What I most like is the ability to take handwritten notes and to have the notes you’ve taken across books collected together into one notebook. I need to play with this more, but I’ma writer, so this feature is amazing for me for many reason. I start with a vague idea that different books not necessarily having anything to do with each other May actually be put together to form a premise, so to have mother from those books smushed together is incredibly helpful. That’s basically how I would organize my hard paper research. I don’t know if this is possible but if not, this would be a great update, and that is to create collections of notes in different notebooks, to create a collection of books and then have a notebook within that collection with all the notes for the books in that collection. That would be pretty easy to code. Finally the pencil. I love it. I love it so much better for writing than my Apple Pencil. I feel like I’m writing on paper. It’s beautiful. I like the Apple Pencil for things like procreate and my scribe for taking notes. I’m left handed and I usually don’t have problems. Every now and then my palm will change it from a handwritten note to a text note, but it’s not a big deal. I use the pencil to tap on handwritten note and it puts me back. As a lefty you get used to dealing with these things. I’ve had worse problems trying to write in apps. I also tried the oasis. It was nice. It also worked with my eyes. The buttons for the pages was a nice added touch. It is small, but it makes great use of the real estate available on the page. I was a little frustrated because I twice ordered the cellular version and both times received the Wi-Fi version, so I gave up on the oasis and bought the scribe, which I hadn’t bought because it was Wi-Fi. I’m so glad I did. Aliso, I’m case you don’t know, you can change your kindle address to something simple like John@kindle.com, so it’s easy to tell someone where to send documents or books to you (and easier to send things to yourself). If all you want to do is read books, the oasis is fabulous. If you like having things in color and want the ease of a quick Internet to research concepts you read about, the hd is great. If you like to research and like the idea of having your notes from different books collected in one notebook, or would appreciate a larger screen, or would enjoy a writing experience, the scribe is great. There’sa kindle out there to meet just about everyone’s needs. (I’m posting without proofing, so please forgive typos.)
Review: Childhood dream come true! - There is only one con: it's not waterproof. It's 2025, why isn't waterproof technology the industry standard?? Anywho. This is hands down the single best purchase I have ever made. I've been dreaming of this ever since 1999 when I won a Game Boy off a Mountain Dew bottle top at a Thunder Skate USA facility. It came with a game called Wave Rider. It was because of that infuriating game that I realized my true nature- I'm a nerdy book worm to the core. Why couldn't this game be a book? The Kindle Scribe is a childhood dream come true! My favorite feature of this device is the notebooks. I have journaled since I was 8 years old. I'm now 35. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to keep nosy noses from rifling through your most private paper thoughts? I do. I had taken to burning my journals after filling them up. No need to literally hang on to my mind garbage. I have always had too many thoughts taking up space in my head, creating the need to jot them down and make them go away. Now, with the Scribe, I can click a button and the brain baggage is instantly destroyed. No more wasting paper (the poor trees!) No more searching (and stealing!) perfect pen to write with. The Scribe comes with the perfect pen! A forever pen! I got the basic pen. A basic pen for a basic... you know. The fountain pen feature is revolutionary! I've been "perfecting" my penmanship for decades and still write little better than a chicken's left foot. Woe is me and any who have to read my scratch. No more! The best part is that the ink never runs out, it always writes perfectly smooth. I also love how big this Kindle is. I'm blind as a butt in blue jeans, so this size is a huge plus for me. With my OG Kindle, setting the font to large yielded only a few sentences per page making me feel like I was back in pre school learning to read. No more! Other bonuses- I had signed up for a free month of Kindle Unlimited before ordering the Scribe. When I did order, it came with THREE months of free KU! A total of FOUR FREE MONTHS! But it got better. I ordered an OG Kindle for my mom (who is not as blind as a butt in blue jeans) and it came with another THREE MONTHS OF FREE KU! A grand total SEVEN MONTHS OF FREE KU! I was over the moon! I had also found it on sale (January of 2024) for $270. I put an $80 dollar gift card toward it and it brought my total down to $204! Woohoo! I ordered a fancy flippy pink adjustable magnetic cover for it separately. I am in love with this device. Never have issues with battery life or charging. I will say this though; I think the Scribe was marketed to the wrong demographic. I abhor writing on books, highlighting, dog-earing, and otherwise desecrating books, so I don't give a hoot in a hay storm about the sticky notes debacle other reviewers take issue with. I use this for pure entertainment purposes; sometimes I switch from reading to simply scribbling my brains out for the fun of it. Seriously. I have no idea if this is a good buy for work related tasks and I don't care. It's perfect for keeping track of what the one year old is eating, doodle notebooks for the nine year old, and reading and scribbling until there's drool pooling and crusting at the corners of my mouth for me. Like I said, it's a childhood dream come true! The only way I'd come off my Scribe is if they made a new one that is waterproof. Which reminds me- I got the software update of the new one! Thanks desertcart! Seriously, best 200 bucks I've ever spent. A year of daily use and zero complaints (except the waterproof issue- grr *shakes fist*.) I can't recommend this enough. This is THE Cadillac of reading/ writing toys for adults!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it convert handwriting to text?**
A: Update: As of firmware version 5.16.2, you may now export notebooks with a convert-to-text option — this will convert the notebook's handwritten content to text, give you an opportunity to edit the converted text, then email it to whomever you desire. So yes! It can do that.

**Q: Does this model have physical buttons to turn pages like the oasis or is it like the paperwhite?**
A: Not having physical buttons is a little disappointing (for one primary reason mentioned below), but I’ll likely get a Scribe since the pen input is something I’ve been wanting in a Kindle for years. 

I’ve had Kindles since Gen 2 and was very excited about getting the first non-buttoned Kindle Paperwhite after release. However, I soon found I had difficulty with page turns due to an unfortunate dry skin condition I have.

Smartphones, tablets, and other shiny-smooth devices - no problems. Paperwhite responded to only 20% of my taps/swipes (probably due to the matte screen texture in combination with my dry skin) and was so frustrating to use I gave it away. Lotion helped only slightly and made for messy screens. 

I was absolutely DELIGHTED when Amazon released the Kindle Voyage with physical page turn buttons and I still use it to this day.

**Q: Does it sync with OneNote?**
A: Not yet, but Amazon says the option to sync with Microsoft Apps is coming this year.  Personally I would not jump at the remarkable for a few reasons.

1. It is about 30% more money.
2. It doesn’t support the Kindle library and that’s a deal breaker for me,
3. Boox is a better option than the remarkable 2, but battery life is a real issue. 

Don’t just jump, look at what’s coming and think about your needs first.

**Q: Anyone else (who writes a great deal, either for work or pleasure,) see the genius in this device- making needs for editors, business professionals?**
A: As a student and working in admin, this would be very useful. For notes in general and also being able to write notes on the digital book. I still need to research a bit more regarding compatibility with Microsoft 365 and specifically one note as this is where I take all notes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent New Device. Exceeds Expectations.
*by A***3 on December 18, 2022*

I struggled with the decision to purchase the new Kindle Scribe. I have had several kindles (going all the way back to the Kindle with a keyboard) and a few Kindle Fires. I currently have a Kindle Paperwhite and Fire 8 plus. I have always valued the reading experience on kindles along with the ability to have access to a library of books, obtain samples of books, and a convenient way to highlight and add sticky notes. I was initially excited to see the Scribe come out, but the price and some negative reviews really gave me pause. At the urging of my spouse as a Christmas present and convincing myself that I would return it if it didn’t meet my expectations I decided to take the plunge. I am so glad I did. It has exceeded my expectations in all three of my must haves. I decided to write this review in hopes of helping others going back and forth about whether to purchase it now or wait for a future update. As a little background, I am in academia. I decided that I would purchase and keep the Kindle Scribe if it did an excellent job with The following. 1) Able to read textbooks and technical books with tables, charts, graphs, and math. 2) Able to read pdfs. 3) Able to write notes (lecture notes, answer keys, personal research notes, etc.) Based upon the previous reviews, I was not confident that the Scribe would do a great job with all three of the above must haves. However, it does. I’ll take each one separately with my pros/cons and fixes. 1) With my previous kindles (including my current paperwhite and Fire), I was never able to have that wonderful reading experience when it came to textbooks and/or more technical books which included tables, charts, graphs, and math. The physical size of the previous kindles simply was never going to work well with these types of books, even with the zoom feature. The size, and perfection of the screen, of the Scribe makes reading these types of books just as enjoyable as reading a book of fiction. The technical stuff comes across wonderfully and there’s no funky formatting that the previous kindles would have when it comes to tables, charts, etc. So, the Scribe passed with flying colors when it come to this must have. In response to some other reviews, I will say that I’m actually glad that I cannot write (make notes, underline, circle) on the books themselves. I like writing a sticky note and highlighting because it keeps the pages less cluttered. Looking back at physical books that I’ve had to read many times over the years, I have written so many notes in the margins, underlined, etc. that it makes reading them again a pain. I hope that Amazon will always keep the option of sticky notes even if one day it allows writing directly on the book. Given the price, did I need the Scribe? No. I could’ve just continued to read these types of books as physical books. But, I am so glad that I can do it on the Scribe and have the wonderful kindle reading experience. My only complaint is that a few books purchased in the past don’t recognize the pen. This might just be an issue of needing to reformat all books and hopefully it will be fixed in the future. Even with those few books, I can still type sticky notes and highlight as before so it hasn’t bee a big deal. 2) Given the size of previous Kindles, sending a pdf and reading it just was never going to work well. The Scribe does a near perfect job. Now, having read some reviews, I was really worried about this must have. I read lots of pdfs from my laptop for my job, and as I sit reading look over to my Paperwhite and wish that I could use it instead (the E-ink is just so much better). Here’s my take on pdfs, if the pdf is nicely formatted to begin with then it comes across on the Scribe perfectly. Yes, you can write on it which is nice (kind of wish I could use sticky notes instead though) and easily export it to your email address. On the other hand, if the pdf is not nicely formatted and/or the text is a bit blurry to begin with, then it doesn’t come to the Scribe perfectly either of course. I have played around with preparing these troublesome pdfs by cropping or simply changing the margin size before sending and it seems to help, but the text is not as crisp. Still though, I can read the pdfs on the Scribe just as easily as reading them on my laptop. So, overall, the Scribe exceeded my expectations here. One strange thing I’ve come across is that when initially opening a pdf, it opens to a cover page so you have to actually go to the beginning by opening up the toolbar at the top then you can flip the pages. This is an example of needing to play around a bit with the Scribe to figure out some of the features. The entire focus on the “cover” thing in pdfs and notes seemed to be a big thing with the tech folks, might be a privacy issue they have in mind. I realize that some folks, myself included, use Google drive and other web-based options to store documents, but Amazon has done an excellent job of allowing the user to drag and drop a document into the Send to Kindle page/app (and, I make sure to choose the option to send only to my Scribe rather than clutter up all my devices). I have only tried one Word document so far but it came across perfectly on the Scribe. If you have a book pdf, you can simply write Chapter 1, 2, etc. on the page of each chapter then go to the notes to easily move to where you want to go. So, I have been extremely happy with this feature which would’ve been a deal breaker for me. 3) Others have said that writing on the Scribe feels nearly the same as writing on paper and it does. I plan to write lecture notes, answer keys, and just some notes for myself. Amazon has done a great job in allowing the notebooks to be easily sent to my email address as pdfs, and they come across on my laptop and Fire exactly has I’ve written them. I am really, really pleased with this aspect. In the past, I would scribble an answer key or some notes on a lecture (including Graphs and math) on some scrap paper then a year later when teaching the class again realize that I’d lost the notes and have to redo them. I will be doing all my writing on the Scribe and storing them for latter use. Having read some reviews, it sounded like the current software on the Scribe was not up to the competition. I have to say, however, I am very pleased with the existing software. You don’t get twenty different widths for the pen but rather five. I really don’t want to have to choose from a great many, and what they have now is just fine for my needs. It is true that you don’t have subfolders to create and a large notebook would be difficult to find things in. I get all of those issues. However, instead of writing a 100 page notebook I plan to write lecture notes in 10 notebooks of 10 pages in length saved under one folder. By using appropriate titles for each notebook I think it will actually be better than having one rather lengthy notebook. There’s not a great many templates to choose from, but I have found the ones currently available work just fine for my needs. Again, though, the Kindle Scribe exceeded my expectation for writing notes. Overall, I am thrilled with the Kindle Scribe. I really enjoy the reading and writing experience. Given the price, did I absolutely need the Scribe? Not really. I could read the physical textbooks/technical books. I could read the pdfs on my laptop. I could write notes on paper then scan them into my computer. Or, of course, I could do these things on a good tablet. However, I have always enjoyed the reading experience on a kindle and the Scribe might be the best yet. The writing experience on the Scribe is the closest digital device to paper that I have used. I am glad to have these things on one device which does not have all the distractions that come with laptops and tablets. I hope this review helps others in making their decisions. Oh, and as others have said, the battery is amazing compared to tablets and phones.
