Is the Kindle Scribe for you? Or should you instead go with an iPad or good old pen and paper?

Is the Kindle Scribe for you? If so, what is your main use going to be?

@maribethbousum4656 Год назад

I got the scribe primarily because I wanted a larger screen. I love the idea of reading digitally on a book sized e-ink screen. So the scribe is near perfect from that standpoint. I do occasionally highlight and make notes in non-fiction books, but that’s still secondary to me. I also decided to keep my paper white as a “car kindle” that will travel with me, while the scribe is my at home reading device.

@KeliFancher Год назад

@@maribethbousum4656 I agree that reading on the larger screen is really nice, it’s not enough to justify it for me at this point

@amiedoll60 Год назад

I use mine mainly for crosswords, word searches, and tracing pages (I got all this stuff on Etsy). I couldn't love it more. I also like writing in my diary, and reading books with larger text. It's the perfect Kindle for me. I also like the larger size for cookbooks. Nice review :)

@KeliFancher Год назад

Thanks for the watch Brambelle, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love the idea of using it for cookbooks, I never thought of using digital cookbooks.

@williamweatherall8333 Год назад

I use a remarkable 1 regularly. I find it great for pdfs and note taking, though recently, I've switched to taking my notes on 4x6 index cards and they are honestly easier for me to organize and go over again. I still use it for a lot of my reading and it is AMAZING for math. To be able to scroll down and scroll down and get more page is so much nicer than actual paper.

@KeliFancher Год назад

Very nice. I also use index cards, well actually closer to half index cards for notes. There's bits of paper stuck in all sorts of books around my house 😅

@williamweatherall8333 Год назад

@@KeliFancher lol, page references on the cards themselves and a little box to store them in goes a long way

@cyclemomofsix Год назад

I feel the same way about digital "writing" feel vs the "analog" feel of the Scribe. I'm surprised how much I am enjoying journaling on my Scribe! I also have a tablet and yes the s-pen is awesome but I like you, get distracted!

@KeliFancher Год назад

Glad to hear that I’m not alone in this, it feels weird trying to say that the Scribe feels less digital - but it does 🤷‍♂️

@kellimshaver Год назад

I heavily considered getting a reMarkable 2 because of the better writing and import/export features, but ultimately, its lack of a light is what made me go with the Scribe instead. I'm legally blind, so for me, the light is a must and I'm sad the reMarkable doesn't have one. Hopefully the Scribe will do the trick. Also, the larger screen will be a plus for reading more comfortably on particularly bad vision days.

@KeliFancher Год назад

That's a great point that I hadn't considered, the backlight on the Kindle Scribe is a really nice feature.

@coolinmac Год назад

Better import and export? Are you joking? You’ve clearly never had one. It’s awful for that. Check the sub Reddit. That’s why everyone sells theirs

@KeliFancher Год назад

I’ve been using Supernote A5x for more than a year now, and still like it and use it everyday. It is basically a notetaker with the Kindle app.

@KeliFancher Год назад

I like the sounds of that. One unexpected takeaway of trying the Scribe is that I finally feel willing to try non-Kindle alternatives.

@fantasiame Год назад

@@KeliFancher Haha, that’s a very positive way of thinking that! I have several Kindle of different generations, including the ancient DX. I still use my Kindle paper white for bedside reading, but only carry Supernote daily and for travels, since it pretty much has everything I need (well, no light, of course, but this is relatively easy to solve externally).

@passionatetechnology8306 Год назад

I’m looking to buy it in the future as a replacement for my Kindle DX from 2010-2013 era. That device just lost support for 3g after all this time and I have been waiting for a much sharper text display and a larger kindle. Finally, Amazon has made a better version of the device with all the added lights and speed of the newer devices.

@KeliFancher Год назад

🎉 100% correct, I hope you enjoy!

@passionatetechnology8306 Год назад

@@KeliFancher I do enjoy it. It’s been getting better and more useful as time goes on. I use it to write notes, journaling, and read books to my children. It’s better for their eyes since I enjoy kindle unlimited for all of the toddler books instead of using my iPad.

@KeliFancher Год назад

@@passionatetechnology8306 Oh, that's great! I haven't looked into digital children books - but I would totally rather use the Scribe than an iPad.

@ernestintownandjackintheco1024 Год назад

Here is the language from the refreshed Amazon scribe webpage that explicitly talks about future updates; they should have led with that!: “Coming Soon: Kindle Scribe provides regular, free software updates that include new features. In the coming months, Kindle Scribe will add more writing tools, including new brush types and copy/paste tools, additional notebook organization options, and the ability to send documents to Kindle Scribe directly from within Microsoft Word.”

@KeliFancher Год назад

Hey! That’s really encouraging, hopefully they follow through with it.

@Abrpatel Год назад

Good review! I think considering Amazon isn't a product company like Apple but more of a systems company. Interested in hearing your thoughts on Freeform app.

@KeliFancher Год назад

Very good point (and thanks for the watch)! Stay tuned the Freeform video is coming this week.

@hello2131991 Год назад

Thanks for the review. Is the Kindle Scribe able to display PDF file as well as the iPad?

@KeliFancher Год назад

It depends on what you mean by as well as. It can display a pdf, but small text is sometimes hard to read and there’s no easy/quick zooming in like on the iPad.

I'm really interested in the Boox Note Air 2 (not the name, which is terrible, but the device itself) because it seems almost like what the Kindle should've been. It's an e-reader/ e-ink tablet running android that seems to have much better note taking abilities than the Scribe but allows you to install the Kindle app so you can read all of your Kindle content. The only thing holding me back is the price - it's twice the price (give or take) of the Scribe, and that feels like a lot to spend on a device like this. If you ever pick one up I'd love to see a video with your thoughts on it.

@KeliFancher Год назад

One good thing about getting the Scribe this that I finally feel willing to try alternatives like the Boox Note Air2. Stick around in case I ever do, I’d definitely make a video on it if I pick one up.

@JeremyWalla Год назад

Boox tab ultra is the best of all the above. As an android based eink device the owners is on you to not install the focus sucking apps. But use it for all the things you described to include kindle. I got one two weeks ago and wish it had been around for years. Absolutely love it

@KeliFancher Год назад

Oh, yeah, I think getting the Scribe had finally convinced me that it’s time to try alternatives.
