Great!
I only got my Scribe yesterday, and I still haven't emailed any notes to myself yet, however from what I've seen it's a really good device~ I found the writing to be natural and in some ways easier and quicker than paper notebooks. (You don't have to worry about scrumpling the paper as you write, or notes bleeding through the page from the other side, obviously!) I bought it specifically to take notes and journal in, and I'm going to do a notebook per month, and keep that in a separate folder from other notes, then archive by year. That's a great feature for organisation. I'm not sure about whether drawings are transferrable to other devices yet, so I'd be interested in that, because I like to copy and paste little doodles (both in pen and highlighter) to put at the bottom of pages (because if I write to the bottom of a page I get hand cramps and my handwriting goes rubbish, though this is just a general thing, not to do with the kindle!) Re the drawings thing, I'd find it really entertaining to make little flipbooks on there, and perhaps it wouldn't take that much effort for Amazon to make a flipbook feature! (I do understand if it's not intended be be used as an artists' device though, just thought it might be a fun thing for some people!) If that were the case, it would be great if there were features like a felt-tip pen that gets a bit scribbly/faded with speed of drawing, or some colour options potentially in future models. I really like the screen~ it feels huge compared to my Paperwhite! I read voraciously, so this is great for me. I also really appreciate being able to adjust the warmth of the light, alongside the general light/dark display. This is great for night time reading as normal white screen light tends to mess with people's circadian rhythms. (Though in bed I tend to still use the older, smaller one because it's easier to hold and not drop on my face/my partner/my cat!) I bought the version with the case and fancy pen, which I do recommend. The case also has an inbuilt pen holder so you don't have to solely rely on the magnet at the side of the kindle holding it in place, e.g. when travelling. I would suggest that next time Amazon does a promo with multiple items however, that they include a matte screen protector as well. And perhaps earphones? One thing that could be improved is that I'd like a wired (mini jack) earphone connection because bluetooth earbuds give me headaches. Mind you, I don't even know if you can listen to audiobooks from this device because I haven't actually tried it due to my oldschool ways! Haha. So please disregard that if it isn't relevant. Maybe there's some earphones I could plug in if they had the right connector? Not sure how all that actually works yet. Perhaps someone in the know could reply and inform me? Or I'll investigate. Really helpful tool for songwriting and poetry, because you can freeflow whilst in a creative state, then copy the whole page and reorder lines/verses for when you're ready to edit things, which involves a different brain-mode~ for me at least! Also if you're writing chords to go above lyrics you can do them in a different font and size them to whatever seems convenient/legible. (Colour feature would be useful here as well potentially.) I really like that there's a music notation preset format as well! (I've not tried it yet but it's a total unexpected bonus! I wonder if this could be transferable to Sibelius or Logic, for example? Might be a really good thing for music students.) Overall, I'm really happy with the Kindle Scribe. I particularly enjoy doing random doodles/one liner notes on a blank page and then resizing them and shuffling them about. It's very satisfying to see a whole page of various brain-dribblings in various fonts and sizes like a real notebook but neater and without any crossings out.

Brilliant, very glad I purchased a Kindle Scribe
I have been looking at the Kindle Scribe and Remarkable 2 for some time and was a bit torn as to which one to get. A friend has the Remarkable 2 so I had seen one of them but I'd not set eyes on the Scribe. I do have quite a few Kindle books but have never actually owned a Kindle and that was one of my primary reasons for leaning towards the Scribe. I read a lot of Scribe reviews early days and they all seemed to say the hardware was great but the software was lacking so I just kept an eye on the reviews as steadily Amazon added the features people were longing for. Prime day arrived and I took the plunge on a 32GB Kindle Scribe with the Premium pen and got a fairly cheap case (£16) to go with it. I am so glad I did because I have been using it a heck of a lot. Reading: I have probably read more recently than I have in years. I take it to read when I am sat in the car waiting for the kids at their clubs, much better than the laptop and phone I used to take with me. I have been using it to read in bed which I have probably not done for over 30 years. The backlit screen is great for reading in bed because I don't wake the wife. Writing: I work in cyber security and spend most of my day on a laptop or in meetings. Despite being a techie I still prefer making notes on paper rather than writing notes on the laptop. Downside of this is I end up with loads of paper kicking about so the main reason for getting the Scribe was to do away with the reams of paper I end up collating. I have not been disappointed at all with the writing performance. I write really small and thought it might not work so well for me but it works perfectly. I am using it all day long at work instead of paper now and an really happy with it. Organising the different notebooks is a breeze and it actually is much better than using paper pads because you can better organise your notes. Screen: Books and your own written content are very clear on the Paperwhite screen. With the back light on it literally looks like you are writing on a notepad because it is white rather than grey. I’ve been using it with the back light off in the office though as you don’t really need it in a well lit office and battery should last even longer. I have used it in the summerhouse where it was too bright to see my phone screen properly and the Kindle screen was perfectly readable. Pen: I have the premium pen and I would say it is probably worth getting for the rubber feature alone. Although it would not be the end of the world selecting the rubber tool from the menu I could see it being a bit annoying compared to just flipping the pen. The button I have configured as a highlighter but rarely use it so would not really miss that feature. I read some reviews that said the magnet is not strong enough to hold the pen but mine really snaps into place and is firmly attached when the slightly flat side is towards the Kindle. Mine is a later one so maybe Amazon have addressed this, not sure all I can say is it is more than adequate to hold the pen. Nice to haves (Amazon if you are listening): Just some things that I have either not worked out how to do yet or don’t exist. When sorting books into collections by opening the collection and selecting add/remove, it would be nice to be able to filter the list of books to add by those not already in a collection. I have a lot of books and it is very tedious to have to go through the full book list for each collection. It would be nice to be able to access the “Home, Library, Notebooks” navigation menu whilst being in a book or notebook to be able to switch between them more quickly. Overall: A great bit of kit I have no regrets in purchasing it. £300 would probably buy enough notepads and pens for life but I am glad I have this instead.

Fantastic e-note taking
Absolutely love my scribe. I was wanting a note taking device to replace the many scraps of paper that cluttered up my desk and found out about the remarkable, but the price made me think twice. Then I found the scribe and as a much more affordable option I opted to give it a go (thinking that being able to read my kindle library would be nice too!) And I'm very impressed. Writing feels fluid and responsive. The image is clear and the size of the display is great for writing, sketching and reading books. It's nice and light too for the size. The pen is comfortable and easy to write with. I'll admit the software for notetaking is fairly basic in some respects. But it can do anything pen and paper can do, with some nice extras like a choice of linespacing or calendar templates etc. Regardless I'm so glad I picked it up. So if anyone else wants to avoid scraps of paper all accross our desk, it's a great option

Premium, Lightweight & Great Battery Life
The Kindle Scribe feels premium and is surprisingly light for its size, making it comfortable to use for long reading or writing sessions. The display is sharp, the included Premium Pen works beautifully, and the battery life is excellent — I can go days without charging. The only hiccup is that the screen occasionally freezes after being in standby, but it’s rare. Overall, a fantastic e-reader and note-taking device.

This Is definitely a Keeper... 7 months later I have no intention of changing my mind. I love It!!!!
I've had the Kindle scribe for seven months now (Since it's first launched) I thought it would be good idea to let potential buyers, who are considering which e-tablet to get to know what's been going on. since my Dec 22 update, a lot has changed, and all for the better. Every one of my wishes that I thought might have improved the Kindle Scribe, has been met with its three updates, plus much much more! It's almost on par with the remarkable, only the remarkable can't increase its lagging 226 ppi or a backlight. Amazon has promised to continue regular updates, so to me it's quite clear there may be additional updates, like possibly rotating objects with the lasso and or the addition of shapes. we definitely have 3.5 more years of potential updates, that I'm confident that Amazon will deliver. I use my scribe every day without fail, wether its just to jot down reminders, drawing or brainstorming ideas that my old brain might forget. All I have to do to start reading or writing, is the open the cover, just like opening a book! Because it's only asleep, it takes about a second to wake up and be ready for whatever you want to read, write or draw . I know it's never going to let me down for insufficient power, due to its amazing battery, that lasts for weeks. I love this thing and its with me day or night. After seven months, it really is still my favourite gadget and I'm unashamed of being a geek. For potential buyers, I can only say, what are you waiting for? buy it before the price goes up. Dec 22 Update For about a year now I've been longing for a product like this, since my brother introduced me to his Remarkable 2. Although he kept on telling me it might be better to buy an iPad because it can do a lot more. It did not put me off, because I wanted a product, that I could write on, that didn't feel like writing on glass like my tablet/laptop does. If like me, you want a product that's distraction free, without all the gimmicks, you should consider the Kindle scribe. The Photos and videos do not give the Scribe any justice, it's elegant and stylish. Its got quality written over it when you touch and hold it. I have an old kindle voyage, but because its a bit slow and clunky, I really stopped using it. But the Scribe has re-energised my reading again, and most of all no more yellow post it notes everywhere!! Honestly the writing is incredible; it looks, feels and sounds like writing on paper, only that you have an endless supply of it. (you can't get any greener than that) and no mess. I always screw up my messages in Christmas and birthday cards, but now I just write on the scribe first, then copy what i've written. Sure it can do with more features, like different pressure and shading on the pencil, because I like to doodle when I'm on the phone sometimes, and shading will be useful for drawing. But don't let that put you off, because that can be easily remedied with firmware upgrade. My brother told me his remarkable needed a few upgrades too, however its not 300ppi or doesn't have any backlight, something a firmware update cannot fix. I went for the 64GB version because I have hundreds of large PDF files on my Nas drive, however it only took up 9GB! amazing! So I'd recommend the 32GB version because of he Pen, but trust me 16Gb is more than enough for most people unless you use Audible books. If you are looking for something like an iPad, I'm afraid this isn't. Its not meant to be! But if like me you wanted something that's not wasting paper like a real paperless office, with the ability to read thousand of books of different formats (which the remarkable can't do, but it can read Epubs), with the most LEDs and best PPI e Ink tablet, then look no further than the distraction free Kindle Scribe. It can be used day and night, without an exterrnal light, and with warm variable lighting to protect your eyes. It's now my favourite gadget lol.

Lacking so many basic features and way over priced for what it it
I was really excited when I heard about the kindle scribe and was excited to receive it. I have a kobo sage ereader and stylus which I love but I wanted something with a bigger screen and that I could take notes on as well. I had high hopes for the kindle scribe. I received Kindle scribe yesterday and it was sent in a cardboard envelope, no protection. Thankfully ereader was not broken. The packaging kindle scribe comes in is very minimal, barely any protection, and just ereader, stylus and cable. No plug included. The kindle scribe ereader it's self is beautiful, well built, metal back, feels premium, screen is beautiful. I got the pro stylus with eraser which is very nice good weight and nice to write with. Unfortunately the software let's this device down big time. On switching this on after setting up I was greeted with a very messy home screen with my husband and childrens books all mixed with mine. There seems to be no way to just show my books. You can only read books from kindle book store on this devic, it is very restrictive. If you have a digital library card and want to borrow and read library books on this forget it, if you want to borrow books from other places including internet archive forget it you can't. This is a deal breaker for me as I do borrow a lot of Library books as well as reading alot of kindle books, and to have spent £400 on a device that cant do a simple function such as allowing you to read Library books is very poor. You can send documents and pdf files to read but it's quite a fuss. You can't just connect it to your computer and copy files over. You have to go to Amazon website and upload them to there server and send to your kindle email address, then they will appear in your Library and then you have to click to download them. Just why Amazon, why make us jump through so many hoops just to put files on device, why cant we plug in via usb and just copy over on to device. I just don't understand there reasons behind this It also only supports a limited number of file types. I tried to send some comic books to it that I have which are in .CBR format and it would not let me, it said file format not supported, every other brand of ereader I've had has supported this format. I had to convert them to another format to get them on to this kindle. So to put any of you own files on to this device it's quiet a nightmare and you have to have a internet connection. So forget transferring things if you have no internet. For reading books from kindle store it's great and screen is lovely to read on but that's all it's good for, kindle books. On to the stylus and note taking. Well if it's a kindle book from kindle store you can't write on the pages of the book. You can only write on sticky notes and then it's hard to find which note is which. Not great, quite messy really. I would have expected to be able to write notes on the pages of the books. You can write directly on pdfs, my son tested this with a pdf maths work book and it did work well for this. The notes book areas where you write notes is nice and has quiet a few paper templates. But there is no choice of pens there is just one pen type, you can just change thickness, plus there is a highlighter and eraser. Very lacking for a note taking device. The device does have a built in web browser, but it's useless, it just doesn't work. Over all I feel that this is first and foremost just a Large kindle ereader aimed at people who only want to read kindle book store books but has a big screen. It feels like the note taking was a after thought. It is lacking so many functions that many other companies devices offer at a cheaper price. I think the kindle scribe is very over priced for what it is. I would only recommend buying this if you only want to read kindle books and want a large screen, even then I would ask your self if you really need the bigger screen, it really is not worth the extra Money, really you would probably be better off just buying a cheaper smaller screen kindle ereader. And you would have money left over to buy books. There are much better options available for notetaking. It's ashame really as the Kindle scribe has so much potential and could be a truly wonderful device but its software and restrictiveness let's it down big down. I really hope they release updates to drastically improve and open up the potential of this device. But sadly right now it's not there and I'll probably be returning mine. I have already ordered a Meebook P10 pro, way more features and over £100 cheaper. Just wanted to give a update. I decided to use it for a bit longer to see if things improve, but so far it hasn't improved yet. Infact I've discovered another bad point about this device that I would like to mention. I used it to take some notes, wrote quiet a few pages then sent notes to my computer. It sends as a pdf file. When I open file on my computer I can see my notes but there are horrible Kindle watermarks on every page. The water mark is the word kindle in blue. In my opinion it's horrible and messy and makes notes look un professional. I don't want or expect to see watermark on my notes especially when paying so much for device. You expect to see water marks if your using a trial software but not when you have paid a lot of money. The water marks can not been seen on kindle scribe it's self, it's when you export notes to computer. This might not bother some people but it does bother me and I won't be using it for note taking again unless they remove the kindle water mark logo on notes.

Fantastic reader, brilliant notepad
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.

I think the simplicity of this device is excellent with some subtle elegance.
I've been watching a lot of comparison videos and there's a lot of e-ink maxi's slamming the kindle scribe, but I think they're completely missing the point and they are only doing a surface level review. The kindle scribe is subtly elegant, simple, easy and purpose built with very specific intentions in its design and use case. They complain that the tablet has an unusual usb-c port location - thats actually not an issue since the battery lasts forever (long time) They complain that you cant load app stores and software - if thats what you want, go buy a tablet or laptop. They complain about productivity, planning and scheduling - your 'smart phone' can set your calendars and reminders way more efficiently. they complain that you cant write and scribble directly onto book pages - and thats very specifically because you cant find and index those scribbles when you have 300 pages of them. they say you cant highlight text... yes you can, press down on the word and after a moment you can drag and select a whole paragraph if you want, add or even type a stickey note - and it will index in a list. every day I find a new and pretty elegant little operational design feature that the maxis overlook because they;re too busy complaining and telling amazon to make it a tablet with an e-ink interface. the key selling point of the kindle scribe is distraction free. I was able to scribble out 20 pages of research, ideas and notes for exactly that reason I'm able to take notes on books and passages which I can reference as a reminder and i can send all those things to myself with a relative click of the share button.. it feels good to write on and while i'd like a few more writing templates like the cornell notation, maybe a few others, it's probably one of the most enjoyable devices i've bought because of its incredible simplicity. for all the youtube trolls out there saying other products have more features... I think they missed the point of it. You have a really long window on returning the kindle. I bought it with alot of apprehension based on what the youtubers were saying and now, i'm very happy to hang onto it long term. Its very enjoyable. Love the pen and I think theres a lot of wacom compatible pens out there if you'd like to start experimenting with those. Hope you agree.

Best Kindle Ever
I'm been a Kindle fan for a long time. Since before they were available in Australia, I would import from the USA. I still remember my first kindle, I tried to find the plastic to peel off, only to realise, it wasn't a printed plastic sticker, it was the text of the screen! I've been in love ever since. Being able to have hundreds of books with me without carrying boxes or taking up room space is still amazing to me. I strongly believe the eBook and eink reader was the best invention of my lifetime. The Scribe is everything I envisioned the Kindle would one day be. A reading, writing and drawing device. The big glorious screen is amazing for reading. It's like printed text on a page the magically glows. The large screen makes the pages feel less cramped than other ereaders and feels more like you're look at the page of a nice glossy book. The pen and writing on the screen is fantastic. I'm not exaggerating when I say it actually feels like writing on paper. I've had tablets and pens before, that claim the same, with expensive filters and screen protectors that wear out after a month and need to be constantly replaced, only to get, at best, to feel better than writing on glass, but not feel like actual paper (despite the claims). This actually feels like paper. It makes writing enjoyable and the screen refreshes so fast there is no lag. The pixel density of the screen and pressure sensitivity of the pen, makes the writing look like your natural handwriting. There are a lots of great templates to use and folders to organise it all. There's even an option to PIN lock the device for security. Which also translates over to a great drawing experience. I'm looking forward to taking a few online drawing courses and since the kindle can be used in full sun, it's going to be a great sketch pad. They've updated the drawing tools over the year and added more features. No doubt layers are in the works. So if you read/watched any reviews, be aware they're outdated when they mention the drawing tools. It's not as comprahensive as dedicated graphic art apps or dedicated drawing devices, but it has the tools needed. And as they say, limitation breeds creativity. This is the best device I've purchased in years. I wish I had this when I was a young man. Everyone should own this device. Reading, writing and drawing is what makes humans, human. And something that can unleash the creativity spark in us all, and help pass knowledge and storytelling between peoples and generations, is something very special indeed.

Great for first generation, but needs additional software features
Great e-reader performance if you like a slightly larger book then your typical paperback size, this will be a great size for you. Typical Kindle screen performance and readability. Now to the "Scribe" functionality. Works as described and is a pleasure to write on. Pen could be a little thicker and I find the button on the side of premium pen occasionally gets accidentally pressed while writing. Importing your own PDF's and files is easy and writing on them is a breeze. You can definitely use the scribe as a notepad replacement. A few more pen options and ability to insert or create shapes would be handy. Ability to add your own templates to the notes section or import PDF forms as templates to fill in and ability to save as a new document/file is needed. You may be able to do this already an I just haven't worked out how yet. Really easy learning curve, especially if you have previously had a Kindle. Set up was done in under 10 minutes and I had my own PDF's and folders sorted in under 30 minutes. It would be well served with a bit more powerful processor but its not super critical and I am probably more of a power user, one of the PDF's I'm using is a Daily Organizer replacement with 2000+ pages that are fully hyperlinked. For less then 1 day of use its replaced a diary, multiple note books, a telephone message pad, a hand-full of hard copy forms and the list is quickly growing. My next project will be to load product catalogs and product spec cheat sheets. It has enough functions as it is to easily integrate into my existing work flow. If Amazon added a rear camera so you can attach/insert pics to PDF's would make this a truly versatile tool without going to a full tablet.

Aunque sea la mejor manera de leer, tiene potencial para ser mejor.
A su lado, el Paperwhite que tengo parece de risa, pones el Scribe en horizontal, con texto a dos columnas, con la tipografía, el espaciado y los márgenes que prefieras y no hay mejor manera de leer, cada paso de página del Scribe son más de 5 pasos de página con el Paperwhite (usando el mismo tamaño, espaciado, etc). Aun así, conservo el Paperwhite para usarlo fiera de casa, ya que es mucho más portátil y te cabe en el bolso. Comparado con otros dispositivos, como tablets, smartphones o el mismo libro real, a la foto me remito. La tablet y el móvil están abiertos por la misma página que en el resto, la misma tipografía y todo, usando la app de Kindle. Aunque no lo parezcan, están encendidos con el brillo al máximo, eso es lo que pasa cuando tratas de usarlos en exterior. En interiores, por otro lado, la tablet y el móvil, especialmente usando la app de Kindle en modo oscuro, pueden servir para leer, pero nada que ver con un ebook de verdad, sobre todo en sesiones de lectura largas. Lo mejor suele ser importar los epub al Kindle a través del “enviar a Kindle”, así puedes descargarlo en cualquier dispositivo y todo lo que vas subrayando y anotando se sincroniza con Whyspersync a otros dispositivos (otros Kindle, smartphone, tablet y PC), excepto las notas a mano, que estas, al menos de momento, solo las puedes compartir con otros dispositivos si usas la opción de enviar por email. A la hora de leer el lápiz va muy bien, usando las notas adhesivas y los subrayados, es como leer en papel (si eres de los que subraya y anota, claro), pero sin los inconvenientes de ese formato, que no son pocos. Es cierto que si transformas un libro de epub a PDF con Calibre, por ejemplo, luego lo puedes usar “enviar a Kindle” y vas a poder escribir directamente encima del libro en PDF y subrayar directamente en el libro como si fuera de papel (ver screenshots), pero pierdes todas las ventajas de poder modificar la tipografía y el formato del texto (una vez transformado a PDF ya no puedes modificarlo) y los libros acaban ocupando más espacio que si los subes en formato epub. Incluso en PDF podrás seguir subrayando el texto de la manera tradicional (manteniendo pulsado y deslizando) y todo lo que rayes encima del libro lo puedes exportar por email, de hecho, puedes exportar todo el libro por email, pero los subrayados “a mano” no van a estar indexados, a diferencia de los subrayados tradicionales. He probado las dos cosas y al menos de momento, prefiero enviar el epub a la nube de Kindle y usar las notas adhesivas y el subrayado tradicional, me parece más eficiente y limpio que garabatear encima del libro en formato PDF, aunque esto último puede ser más divertido y auténtico. Eso es todo a lo referente a la parte de leer, respecto a la parte de libreta, aunque está algo verde en cuanto a capas, importar imágenes a las libretas y demás, es como si escribieras en un papel de verdad, apenas tiene lag y sí, tu horrible tipografía seguirá siendo igual de horrible que en papel real, prueba irrefutable de que funciona a la perfección. Aunque los prediseños que hay para los cuadernos son algo escasos, siempre puedes importar agendas, calendarios, libretas, pasatiempos, etc en formato PDF con “enviar a Kindle” y escribir sobre ellos, con lo que realmente las posibilidades son ilimitadas. Además, dichos PDF pueden llevar hipervínculos, con lo que yo ya me he deshecho de mi agenda de papel, no hay vuelta atrás. Por otro lado, el lápiz en sí está muy bien y es totalmente pasivo, así que no lo tendrás que cargar nunca. Sobre otras propiedades del dispositivo, como la iluminación, nada que decir, es perfecta, como era de esperar. Esta es la gran ventaja de leer en digital (aparte del indexado de los libros, los subrayados, las notas, el espacio, el precio, etc), que no necesitas luz. Como pegas decir que es algo caro (y eso que lo compré de oferta), pero si lo comparas con el remarkable y otras libretas de tinta electrónica chinas… no lo es tanto. Esta es la mejor con diferencia, ya que no solo es una libreta electrónica, es el mejor ebook para leer en casa y definitivamente, la mejor manera de leer que existe (al menos hasta que saquen una versión a color) para la gente que le gusta leer de verdad. Los libros en papel han quedado ya relegados para los que posan para fotos… o para el apocalipsis electrónico después de una llamarada solar. Por ejemplo, algunos libros que ya tenía e iba a leer en papel, los voy a leer directamente en el Scribe, paso ya de tochos de papel sin indexar donde no tienes ventajas como el buscador, los subrayados indexados, la iluminación integrada, el enviar por email, el no tener que sujetar las hojas, tener que hacerles sitio en estanterías o cajones, etc. Realmente la única ventaja que les queda a los libros de papel, es que puedes prestarlos (y olvidarte de ellos porque no te los van a devolver). En cuanto a la batería, tiene muchas más horas de uso que otros dispositivos, especialmente si no usas la iluminación ni el wifi, pero creo que vale la pena usar ambas cosas, salvo que te quede muy poca batería y no haya donde cargarlo. Además, gracias a su conector USB-C se carga muy rápido si dispones de un cargador algo potente. Finalmente, decir que la funda que he comprado no es la original, ya que la original va por imanes y no agarra bien el dispositivo, una leve sacudida y adiós a tu Scribe. También me he comprado un atril que va de cine para leer y no dejarte las cervicales en el proceso, porque, aunque las fundas se puedan doblar y poner en diferentes poses, no tienen la altura suficiente para colocarlos sobre la mesa y leer cómodamente durante ratos largos.

Kindle INDISPENSABLE et super pratique ✨️
Cela fait maintenant presque 1 an que j'utilise cette liseuse et je peux vous dire que je ne suis pas déçue. La batterie tient pendant plusieurs semaines en fonction de votre utilisation, elle est super fluide que ce soit pour prendre des notes ou pour lire (y a très peu d'effet saccadé - à part quand on gomme et quand on selectionne mais ça c'est normal). J'avais vu pas mal de gens se plaindre des mines qui s'usent vite, et franchement ça dépends de votre utilisation. Sur 1 an j'ai changé que deux fois la mine. De plus, Amazon vous offre des mines fournis dans le lot, vous en avez 5 offertes en plus. Donc il m'en reste encore en stock depuis. (Assez simple à changer qui plus est ) La liseuse est incroyable, je n'arrête pas de m'en servir pour prendre des notes pour mes lectures, pour gérer mon budget ou créer un agenda ! Elle est hyper pratique et économique. Le stylet est compris dans la liseuse comparé à d'autre commerce où il faut payer en plus, ce qui est génial ! L'option gomme par contre est un plus (peut etre gadjet) mais personnellement je suis bien contente de l'avoir prise en plus , elle est pratique quand on fait une erreur et qu'on veut corriger vite fait. D'ailleurs y a pas besoin d'un film sur la liseuse si vous achetez une housse qui protège bien. La mienne est nickel. Les seuls points négatifs de cette liseuse : - C'est le prix qui peut vous faire réfléchir avant d'acheter, mais la qualité est là⭐️✨️. - Les accessoires vendus avec ont des prix excessifs (notamment les coques de protection de chez Amazon qui est de très mauvaise qualité d'après ce que j'ai pu voir et qui s'abîme facilement) C'est pourquoi j'ai acheté une sous marque à moins de 20 euros proposée par Amazon et elle me tient super bien !! - Vous n'avez pas d'adaptateur fournis avec. Juste le fil. - Peut être un peu lourde à porter si vous avez une housse avec. A part ça je vous la conseille fortement! Car elle est vraiment super agréable d'utilisation !

Für den ersten Wurf ein tolles Gerät
Normalerweise hasse ich es, Rezensionen zu schreiben. Ich lese sie gerne, aber selbst welche erstellen ist ein Graus. Ich schreibe hier jetzt aber eine aus 2 Gründen: Erstens will ich auch mal Geben und Zweitens schreiben mir hier zu viele Rezensenten, na ja, wie soll ich sagen, komische Sachen. Und ich möchte dazu beitragen, eine relativ objektive Bewertung zu erstellen. Und zwar vergleiche ich den Kindle Scribe mit meinem Remarkable 2, den ich schon sehr lange habe und nahezu täglich nutze. Den Kindle Scribe kann und darf man nicht im Ansatz mit einem iPad vergleichen. Es ist ein völlig anderes Zielsystem. Weder ersetzt der Kindle Scribe das iPad noch andersrum. Solche Systeme wie der Remarkable und der Scribe sollen einem das Gefühl geben, nicht auf einem Glas rumzukratzen, sondern wie auf Papier schreiben zu können. Und das tun beide mit Bravour, das nehme ich schonmal vorweg. Ich bewerte hier mal die wichtigsten Kategorien. Die technischen Eigenschaften kann jeder auf den jeweiligen Webseiten nachlesen. Ehrlicherweise sind die Unterschiede hier nicht so groß. Wichtiger war mir eine objektive Bewertungsgrundlage aufgrund meiner Erfahrung mitzuteilen. Ich habe übrigens die Version mit 64 GB und dem Premium-Stift. Qualität Die Qualität und Anmutung sind bei beiden Geräten oberstes Niveau. Sowohl der Kindle, als auch der Remarkable fühlen sich fantastisch an. Es gibt hier tatsächlich nichts auszusetzen. Aus diesem Grund fangen wir mit einem klassischen Unentschieden an. Bildschirm Diese Punkt geht eindeutig an den Kindle. Bei Tageslicht bietet auch der Remarkable ein sehr klare Darstellung, aber auch bei Licht ist der Kindle ganz klar deutlich schärfer und klarer lesbar. Bei dunkler Umgebung ist beim Remarkable Schluss, da er keine Hintergrundbeleuchtung hat. Und hier ist der Kindle m.E. sogar nochmal besser als mein Kindle Oasis ist. Wirklich toll was amazon hier geschafft hat. Reaktionszeit Auch hier gewinnt der Kindle Scribe. Dieser Punkt ist einer, der mich beim Remarkable extrem genervt hat. Seiten wechseln, einem Notizbuch einen Namen geben, all das macht der Remarkable mit einem merklichen und nervigen Zeitverzug. Beim Kindle Scribe ist hier kaum etwas zu merken. Tippen eines Notizbuchnamens geht ohne merkliche Verzögerung und der Seitenwechsel ist relativ smooth. So smooth eben, wie es bei einem eReader mit eben dieser Technologie gehen kann. eReader-Funktion Na ? Wer gewinnt hier ? Klar, auch der Kindle. Allerdings muss ich fairerweise sagen, das ich schon seit vielen Jahren Kindle-Kunde bin und eine dementsprechende Bibliothek habe. Auch auf dem Remarkable kann man Bücher lesen, aber halt keine Kindle-Bücher. Natürlich liegt das an dem geschlossenen System von amazon, das ist schon klar. Es gibt aber auf dem Remarkable halt keine Möglichkeit direkt Bücher zu bestellen, geschweige denn einen Shop. Man kann Bücher im Internet bestellen und an den Remarkable übertragen. Da der Kindle Scribe halt ein Kindle ist, spielt er hier natürlich seine ganze Stärke aus. Lesen kann man auf beiden Geräten, beim Remarkable im Dunkeln halt nur mit externer Beleuchtung. Markierungen und Seitenhandling sind bei beiden gut. Die Gesamtintegration und Funktionalität ist beim Kindle aber besser abgestimmt. Mir macht es Spaß auf dem Kindle Scribe ein Buch zu lesen. Notizfunktion So ! Endlich ! Hier gewinnt mit Abstand der Remarkable. Aber … man muss hier berücksichtigen, das die Schreibfunktion beim Scribe ja Version 1 ist. Remarkable hat hier auch mit der Zeit viele Funktionen hinzugefügt. Hier wird bzw. muss Amazon noch nachgelegen. Der große Unterschied liegt einfach in den Möglichkeiten beim Remarkable. Das fängt an mit mehrere Stiftarten (Bleistift, Kugelschreiber, Tintenroller usw.) beim Remarkable. Hier hat der Kindle Scribe keine Auswahl. Allerdings habe ich beim Remarkable auch nur immer den Kugelschreiber genommen und nie gewechselt, da ich z.B. nicht zeichne. Aber für Leute die zeichnen wollen, ist der Remarkable tatsächlich die bessere Wahl. Dann fehlen beim Kindle gänzlich Funktionen Textteile auszuschneiden und irgendwo anders wieder einzusetzen. Auch fehlt beim Kindle Scribe komplett das Seitenhandling, also die Möglichkeit Seiten zu tauschen, zu löschen, Seiten an einer bestimmten Stelle einzufügen. Hier gibt es nix. Das alles kann man beim Remarkable machen. Hier muss amazon definitiv nachlegen, aber ich denke, das wird passieren. Notizfunktionen beim Kindle sind sehr schlank. Man kann Schreiben, man kann die Stiftstärke ändern, radieren und markieren. Punkt. Das war es. Für normale Notizenersteller reicht das für den Anfang. Mehr aber auch nicht. Es gibt noch eine schöne Funktion beim Remarkable, die ich sehr häufig genutzt habe. Wischt man mit 2 Fingern von oben nach unten gelangt man in einen Bereich in den man sofort auf die letzten 5 Notizbücher oder auf die Favoriten zugreifen kann. Diese Funktion verbessert den Workflow gewaltig. Beim Kindle gibt es nur die Startseite. Hier sieht man unter "zuletzt aufgerufen" nicht nur die Kindle-Bücher, sondern auch die Notizbücher. Das ist nett, aber das hat Remarkable besser gelöst. Stift OK, nun ist wieder der Kindle dran, das gilt aber nur für den Premium-Stift. Das Schreibgefühl ist bei beiden Systemen sehr gut und auch beide Stifte liegen perfekt in der Hand, aber das ist natürlich subjektiv und kommt auf die Hände an. Warum gewinnt dann der Kindle ? Aus 2 Gründen: Beide Stifte haben eine Radierfunktion, in dem man den Stift dreht und mit dem „Kopf“ über den geschriebenen Text streicht. Beim Remarkable allerdings hatte ich von Anfang an die Angst ich zerkratze mir den Bildschirm. Beim Kindle fühlt sich das Butterweich an, weil die „Kappe“ nachgibt. Und dann kommt mein Killer-Feature: Um Text beim Remarkable mit dem Textmarker zu markieren, muss man umständlich die Stiftart ändern, markieren und wieder die Stiftart ändern. Das führt bei mir dazu, das ich nie markiert habe. Beim Premium-Stift des Kindle Scribe gibt es einen Taste die man Drücken kann und mit gedrückter Taste kann man nun markieren. Das ist geil, wirklich. Datenaustausch Und nun geht der Punkt wieder an den Remarkable. Wenn man Notizen auf dem PC, Mac, iPhone & Co sehen möchte gibt es beim Remarkable eine App, die auf eine Cloud geht. Dort werden alle Notizbücher vom Remarkable synchronisiert und man kann in dieser App alle Notizbücher sehen. Außerdem kann man über diese App Dokumente an den Remarkable senden. Die App von Remarkable ist allerdings auch nicht das gelbe vom Ei und ziemlich einfach programmiert, aber immerhin. Amazon hat bereits angekündigt, das diese Funktionalität auch in der Kindle App im Frühjahr zur Verfügung stehen wird, wir können gespannt sein. Ich möchte an dieser Stelle aber nochmal erklären wie man im Moment Notizbücher aus dem Kindle an den Rechner oder das Smartphone schicken kann und umgekehrt, da hier ein Rezensent leider auch falsche Informationen geschrieben hat. Dokumente, wie z.B. PDF-Dateien müssen nicht gemailt, wie es der Rezensent geschrieben hat, sondern können über die Kindle-App an die Kindle-Cloud geschickt werden. Das klappt ziemlich einfach (z.B. PDF-Datei auf dem iPhone senden an Kindle-App und im Dialog bestätigen). Sekunden später sieht man die PDF-Datei auf allen Kindle’s die man hat. Notizen können vom Kindle über den Teilen Button in der Notiz gesendet werden. Als schnelles senden direkt an die Emailadresse des Kindle-Kontos oder durch Eingabe einer anderen E-Mail-Adresse. Das ist wie gesagt nicht so komfortabel wie beim Remarkable, aber wir warten mal das Frühjahr ab. Akku Das ist wieder ein Unentschieden, allerdings fehlt mir hier noch eine längere Testzeit. Aber beide Systeme schlagen sich hier Wacker. Viel lesen und schreiben und trotzdem hält der Akku mehrere Tage. Das hängt natürlich alles davon ab, wie man das Gerät nutzt. Fazit Trotz der großen Einschränkungen bei den Notizfunktionen behalte ich den Kindle Scribe und nutze dieses anstelle des Remarkables. Der Bildschirm mit der Hintergrundbeleuchtung, der Stift und die Möglichkeit meine geliebten Kindle-Bücher lesen zu können gepaart mit der Hoffnung, das Amazon hier kräftig weiter entwickelt, sind für mich der Grund das Gerät zu nutzen und zu lieben. Wenn man bedenkt das es die erste Version ist, hat man schon ziemlich viel richtig gemacht. Aber das muss jetzt nachgelegt werden, Amazon !
