Amazon Kindle Scribe review - e-reader PLUS notebook 

This is really great! I thought you could either one or the other but the fact that they made this I think it’s so cool!

I have it and love it. Ordered it last year in December. I use it at work for note taking. Reading during my coffee break. I’m a night nurse. Love using it at home as well. Reading on the couch or balcony. On the go I prefer the Kindle Oasis 2019 version. Because of the smaller design. I’m happy with both. Great review Erin. Hope you enjoying the summer. Greetings from Germany ❤ Jonathan

Very informative and well done. Thank you for no drama or hyped excitement. Learned a lot and thank you very much.

I’ve had kindles, kindle paperwhites, a kindle oasis, a kobo Elipsa and I’ve now got the kobo Elipsa 2e but I would really love to try the kindle scribe

VERY INFORMATABLE, SWEET, SHORT AND TO THE POINT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WAS EDUCATED TO OTHER FEATURES ON MY KINDLE SCRIBE, AND HOW TO BETTER USE OTHER KNOWN FEATURES.

I was considering this maybe on prime day. Great timing, thanks for the review.

Another CONS of this device is that in Canada, bluetooth is disabled. You are able to pair audio device BUT know that audible does not sync with it, adding kindle narration is not available for Canadians, and Kindle unlimited only offers read option. Read and listen for KU is NOT AVAILABLE IN CANADA. I returned mine after learnin that it’s kinda useless to pair earphones when you can’t get audiobooks in this device.

hello， Can a shortcut be used to turn the page?

Great Job, Erin. Great video. Very helpful. Nice device. Made me think, though. How many devices for a Road warrior? Laptop Phone Multi-Device Charger? Power Bank? Cables and adaptors - (dongle life)? External SSD (or HDD if you want to go old school)? Smartwatch? Tablet? E-Reader? Personal Gaming Machine? Gaming controller? Personal Music Player? Earphones? Headphones? Camera? (+Lenses)? Bluetooth speaker? Gimbal? Backpack? Sling? Laptop stand? (get that head up) It seems like an interesting thought to me. What determines which of these we need or if we need all of them? What do we need to take with us? I love devices like this - I love them 'cos I can look at my desk and see the first Kindle with the keyboard built-in still on my desk ... along with various other iterations. What do we need today as travelling workers or mobile business people? We have ditched paper as much as we can or are at least trying to limit the paper we carry around with us. Where do devices like this fit into what we need to have as we do our jobs and live our lives? As someone who reviews so many of these devices - and many more - do you have thoughts?

The web browser is more for logging into an internet service like at a restaurant or hotel. Not really an afterthought, just that is not the main purpose of the device. Also, web browsing requires a lot of resource which the device does not have.

Hi - this is an amazing indepth review. I am contemplating this device. One quick question. I know kindle allows us to email the annotations to the registered email ID. I have seen the highlights and typed notes are included in that csv and pdf they email. What about the handwritten notes? Do they get included in that as well?

Hi Erin, Cool device; I enjoyed the demonstration.

Hello! Can you upload files from outside the Kindle (ePub, txt, word docs)? I don't want from example to buy a book from Amazon, I already have it on my laptop...can I export it on Kindle Scribe?

Does it require to use a screen protector? Since I use a wacom and over time the tablet's surface wore out and there are scratchets and I do wonde if that'd be the case for this screen, as well?

Thank you. The disappointing about this kindle is inability to annotate on the book surface by pen. The reason of kindle was that it want to be clean book surface. Too crazy reason

Thanks Erin.

Are you going to compare kindle scribe vs kobo elipsa 2e?

Thanks! I picked this up on Prime Day! I think I'll stick with my Kobo Libra H2O for general book reading. I got the Scribe for note taking and studying, and as a public speaking device to hold my reference notes. I never trust computers/tablets when presenting, but Kindles have very little to go wrong. I exported my existing notes in Word last night and it works great, including using the pen to mark them up! I also might start reading through a bunch of Japanese Manga on this, through Kindle Unlimited or ComiXology. The beautiful display seems custom made for the task. All else being equal, Amazon's Manga library tilted me away from the Kobo Elipsa 2E 😅

Very nice! It’s remind me of other device. Thanks Erin!

Great. Thank You.

Its a great eink reader.....however, if you can afford it, then buy the Boox Ultra C
