But I use it more for notes than anything. It's an excellent piece of hardware, and I put a lot of thought between this, an Android tablet, or an iPad. At the end of the day, for my purposes, I went with the Kindle Scribe and have been excessively satisfied. It's much more function-oriented than an iPad or another tablet, and while it's only black-and-white, it has a fantastic battery life and performs all the duties I need it to. I've used it for reference material, I've imported inventory PDFs to take notes on, minutes for meetings, and of course reading regular books. Outside of reading, I purchased the tablet to fill a void I had in easy, portable note-taking and it's done just that. Most of my coworkers utilize an iPad and iPen for this, but they always complain about it dying by the end of the day, and the glass-like texture of the screen was a huge turn-off for me. Writing on the Kindle Scribe feels like you're writing on a piece of paper on a clipboard, which is exactly what I was looking for. The ability to write on PDF files has served excessively useful as well to the numerous note templates they offer. With the updates they've made since release, the variety of pen tips and ability to move notes around, draw, and highlight things is just amazing! Highly recommend this device to readers, office workers, and folks that like to take a quick sketch at the park when inspired. It's light, portable, and very long-lasting.

It’s exceptional for reading. The light softens at night. It’s the closest experience to reading from a book. The look and size of the page is great. Also, if you’re going to splurge on the Scribe, I’d strongly recommend a very nice cover. I started with a cheap cover and decided to splurge for the leather cover that can be sat up easily and spins in any direction. This makes it so easy to read in bed at night. The Scribe looks like a book page but with the cover it can be sat up to read and even turned a bit to balance on the bed. The writing is fine. I’m not as into it but it helps. It’s also heavy and the leather cover adds weight but I still take it everywhere. It has a huge library inside it. So the weight doesn’t matter to me I’ve had many kindles but could never read on them easily. The pages were small enough for me to get distracted. They just weren’t as easy as a book with the full page. This Kindle is so worth it. I love mine.

I'm moving from a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2" paperwhite which as my eyesight was getting worse, from cataracts, was working well being able to change font (10), brightness and landscape layout. I still keep my books up to date on the little paper white as it is pretty slick to toss in my fannypack. I love being able after my cataract surgery to go back to a more normal size font (4 or 5) and two columns on the page. I'm not having to turn the page every 30 seconds. The wonders of surgery. The Kindle is good. The browser is okay, not great. The notebook is handy. I've used it to take meeting minutes and it really worked well. The notebook feature is new to me. I'm learning. I've made several folders and have a couple notebooks setup. I bought a refurbished unit with 2 gig and a pen. I've loaded hundreds of books, many from the local library loans, some from Prime Reads, some free from Amazon and goodreads. I am disappointed that the user guide is not downloadable, evidently. It's a 78 page document it should be downloadable. I don't always have internet connection so cannot access when I need it. Still waiting for Amazon to add cell phone data usability. It's in comprehensible to me that Amazon doesn't have that figured out for it's products, Fire, Kindle, and that I can't get a true Google gmail app. The battery is holding a good charge. I read for hours at a time. It's been days since I charged and it's at 85%. If you're looking for a new toy this is it.

The Kindle Scribe has its strengths, especially with the larger, clear E Ink screen and note-taking capabilities, which make reading and annotating easy. The display is sharp and comfortable on the eyes, ideal for lengthy reading sessions without causing strain. Plus, it still offers the convenience of an entire kindle library at your fingertips, giving you access to countless books in one device. However, it’s definitely on the bulky and heavy side, making it less practical to carry around. It’s not something I can take with me anywhere, and reading while lying down is challenging due to the device’s weight. While the added note-taking feature is nice, it’s also something I can easily do on my older iPad. Overall, the Kindle Scribe is a great choice if you prioritize screen size and note-taking, but it lacks the portability and ease that Amazon Kindle Paperwhite offer. Overall, Kindle Paperwhite is still my favorite.

I wish they did this without the support for the pencil, which is pointless for me.. I purchased the larger tablet because I couldn’t see the smaller tablet (eyesight) also felt more like reading and at your book rather than a Kindle which is okay but a little pokey. The text is very clear.
