How is the Kindle Scribe for e-ink Planning? 

Yaaaay I'm so glad you found this video helpful. I really like the pen too! And it also works on the Remarkable tablet too funny enough.

Thank you for sharing that link! Just added it to my new Scribe and I LOVE it!!!

Yeah I think it's... a few months old? It blows my mind a lot of the things I showed here are not day one features.

Haha that's always a good idea to hold out for gen 2. I got suckered in with a prime day deal, but the second gen always works out the kinks!

Ok question, are notes (especially hand written) searchable? Or is there a way to tag? Ok perhaps bookmarkable? Occasionally I’ll need to refer back in my work notes to find when I did something or if there’s something still outstanding. Thanks again!

@@clskip Great questions. Notes are not necessarily searchable (yet). You can search PDF files, though. And you can export your notebooks to text to search them that way. You can sorta tag PDF files by adding them to collections. The notes that I showed, you can only put them into subfolders at the moment. Everything is bookmarkable. You can bookmark pages in both notes and pdf. What is nice is that it remembers what page you were on in the notebook. So if you have a notebook of work notes with 15 pages, and you open that notebook again, it'll remember where you were. It also shows a little preview of it before you go in, so you could potentially get information without opening it. Also, one nice thing about the notebooks (not PDFs) is that they are viewable on the Kindle mobile app and the website because they are synced to the cloud. So you could actually pull up your work notes on your phone without having to pull out your scribe.

Great information, thank you!

Great question. They have daily puzzles you can download for free here:www.pennydellpuzzles.com/puzzlers-corner/free-puzzles/ But they also sell a digital pack of puzzles too if theres one you particularly like.

This is probably my favorite. It has a totally separate page for notes for each day, which you could use for journaling. Just download the ones that say for Remarkable. It also has the code if you want to learn to generate your own (I'm too lazy and just usually download these PDFs): github.com/kudrykv/latex-yearly-planner/discussions/9 If you want to play around with customizations, you can also try this: recalendar.me/create There are also templates on Etsy you can get, but those cost money. There might be other options with some googling. If you see anything for the Remarkable tablet, it usually works pretty well with the Scribe.

Not intrusive at all. The scribe was $85-$100 off depending on which model you got. I have the 64gb but you could probably be fine with a 16gb as long as you are okay taking stuff off your device from time to time. They also have a deal at anytime where you can trade it an old kindle or echo for 20% on top of whatever discount there is. It also works with broken kindles! FYI this is a great site for checking price history and price drops: camelcamelcamel.com/ Happy to answer any other questions if you need it :)

@@MotivatedbyStickers I have been considering upgrading my device cuz my Kindle is oldddddd... I wanna say I bought it in like 2010 or so. I live outside the US though so that is my only concern regarding the trade-in process... the timing of Prime Day wasn't great for me and I am now exploring my options and looking into stuff. Also waiting to see if there will be any fall releases or updates.

@@shakirarouse7125 Hey, nothing wrong with an old Kindle if it still works. I'm not sure how the trade-in process works for people out of the country. There probably will be some fall updates. Amazon is having a "hardware" event in September. Not sure exactly what that will mean but there could be a new Kindle. You could also look into the Remarkable tablets. They provide a lot of the same functionality and they are cheaper. The downside is you don't get a backlight and the reading experience isn't as good.

@@MotivatedbyStickers Thanks for that feedback re: the September event. Admittedly, my primary purpose is the reading experience. I’m just pleased to see that Kindle is taking the time to improve on the user experience and now we can do more. How did you install the planner on your Scribe? Did you drag and drop it from your laptop?

@@shakirarouse7125 The planner is super easy to install. Once you have the PDF, the easiest way to put it on is the "Send to kindle" function. You can do it thru e-mail or thru the website: www.amazon.com/sendtokindle

I used a couple in the video. This was the one I showed with the hyperlinks: github.com/kudrykv/latex-yearly-planner/discussions And this was the Passion Planner one I showed: passionplanner.com/collections/printable-planner-pdfs

I recently bought the Scribe too (during Prime Days) and it’s great to know you can use it as a planner. Your video is great, and very helpful! So glad I found you! Thank you. 👏🙌

@@debreale5236 Thank you so much for your kind words!! I hope you enjoy your Scribe too. Let me know if you think of any questions. I'm still figuring things out too.

I love! Thank you.

Thank you I did type that link in and I got it and I love that planner for the remarkable

I just wish the notes I made on my scribe showed up on my Kindle app on my phone so that I could make my grocery list and then be able to see it when I’m in the store

Ehhh, screen is different I think? I recently purchased a Kindle and the reading experience is so much better than reading on a phone or tablet, even through the Kindle app on those devices.
