The Kindle Scribe -VS- The ReMarkable II 

The frontlight is an eye saver when I read in bed at night. My wife sleeps next to me, reading on my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is not only unwieldy due to its size, but it also blinds me while keeping my wife awake. Kindle frontlight solves these issues.

Backlight is a must..

Unless you already have a Kindle library, or subscription...

Love the fountain pen

My writing magically looks better with Scribe fountain pen than a real fountain pen 😅

It's not out of date. This just shows that Amazon is a bad company. Releasing a bad product and then expecting people to wait until the product is good is not acceptable

Remarkable 2 already had all these features and much more.

@@WhynoMoralwho cares, it sells nonetheless and people still wait. Nature of the beast.

what did u get? lol

The first time I read a full novel on my phone, I thought the screen size would eventually bother me, but it was totally fine.

Would you mind if I see your art? All the digital art I see are done on iPad Procreate so I don't see art done on Android that much.

Can’t provide links on YT. But I do own a 12.9” iPad Pro, and Procreate. And while I love Procreate (best $8 I’ve ever spent, easily), I had to move to Clip Studio Pro. Their 3D mannequins and comic tools are just incredible for making comics specifically. The iPad is great, but the operating system is intentionally crippled by Apple to make you buy an Apple computer (which I also have😂). I find Android FAR easier for file management and customization. Even if that wasn’t the case, I’d still use the Galaxy Tab Ultra over the iPad Pro because Oh My God that 15” workspace 😮❤🎉

The other kindles size it more like paperback novel size. So easier to travel with smaller means more likely you will carry with you

I had the same thought regarding size back in the day (looks like 2010, if my email archive can be trusted). So I bought a Kindle DX. Turns out my actual use case for reading calls for lighter and smaller. The DX was just too large to carry around, too large to conveniently read while laying on my back in bed etc. I ordered a smaller Kindle within months and didn't touch the DX again. I'm currently using the first generation Oasis, and love it to bits.

For? 😂

Oh, and scribe have just added a pencil tool, which... is actually better on the scribe. I was very surprised, but no zoom in or out on scribe yet!

Yep had the problem. The only work around is having someone/ party buy it for you then ship. The kindle scribe out of the box I had no issue. The writing experience is better on remarkable over scribe but not as much difference for me. Boox might be the way to go but you can’t handwrite annotations with books in its kindle app.

so, how is it going?

same, i got R2 to assist with brain damage. i use it to take notes for memory and concentration aid. i like its simplicity. i got TBI from car accident so insurance paid for it.

Which features are those?

Thank God the world doesn’t revolve around your needs and wants 😂

@@Berlin5-1 did u find out?

@@user-op8fg3ny3j cloud integration, e.g. if you want to upload your notes to onedrive or google cloud, you need to have a remarkable subscription ON TOP of that.

​@Berlin5-1 You can't send your notes to your own cloud services without paying a subscription to remarkable. Even now it's "changed", it's still there and the fact that they tried making you pay to use your own services just made me think they're an awful company.

Ahhhhhhhh! The universe literally hates me 🤣

Precision in erasing still not as precise as remarkable

When the backlight is off, it is somewhat gray, but very clear! When the backlight is on, the page is white, unless you use the warmth feature.

Who cares 😂😂

That definitely sounds like rM2 would be a better fit for this use case.

Lol mine I no longer worry about constantly having to charge it. Even handwriting for entire day I still had over 60%.

That's a long timeline. 😄

kindle scribe is heavy

I have both. I think he meant front lit because you do see a very subtle sunken look of text. I love that I can write notes in less lit environment. I also love it size because I don’t have to page turn as much as my oasis. This is important to me because I read lots of technical journals so seeing diagrams is much faster on scribe where I don’t have to keep clicking on image to zoom. What I love about my oasis gen 1 is the page turn buttons and easy to read in bed in any position. Both have solid resolutions making the text seem like printed book. So if I am reading my nontechnical books I would reach more for oasis. If am reading a textbook or journal I tend to reach for my scribe

Yeah, unless you work in monochrome, there's not much reason to use either of these for art. Even an iPad mini has infintely more tools for art.

@@sthubbins4038 if you have the disposable income, there's definitely merit in having a remarkable as a sketch pad that you can transfer over to your iPad/PC for finishing up... But most people want an all in one solution

The point of these devices is to have a monochromatic display, black and white, similar feeling to paper and pencil or reading a book 😂

@@JV3Player that's what we like to call "confidently incorrect" The point of e ink is the low eye strain and efficiency which makes excellent battery life. The black and white restriction was just a restriction of the tech. Color e ink has the exact same priorities and makes for a good comic book reading experience in the same way that black and white e ink works for books The difference is color e ink can do black and white just as well as a traditional ereader, making them obsolete as the tech gets cheaper

kindle is naturally much easier to get books. It also integrates with the public library through libby. However, you can also upload books into your remarkable. Reading on the remarkable just isn't as convenient as the kindle because no backlight

@@ch3ckm8 thankyou, though im thinking onyx Boox now for Android access

how?

Please go watch pixel leaves 2024 3 year review, she is very detail in her explanations.

@@fitfirst4468 Seems youtube doesnt want me to explain why, they delete my explanations.

Very true. It also a question of wanting portability in an ereader. The regular kindle size is nice because you can easy read it in bed and standing up but compared to scribe I find that I can read faster on scribe because I see more text at a glance. For manga scribe is a better way to go

Does the remarkable have that ability? I found the size just tad bit crowded for this size. I did it with my 13.3 boox

I understand your view, however, we want a lightweight device to carry around.

I'm surprised they haven't

Yeah, an A5 size would be nice

@@noorlita exactly 👍

💀

i would love to get a max specced surface pro 8 for $200

In what way? Outside of access to Kindle books, Remarkable2 destroys the current Kindle Scribe.
