![]() If you were hoping to doodle and draw, the Kindle Scribe is not interested. If you keep a journal or take detailed notes, we're saying there are better options out there, and at a similar price point. ![]() Even the Kobo Elipsa offers a lot more when it comes to note-taking, including adding formulae and diagrams in between notes. We use bullet journaling and found some basic dots and lined pages, but nothing as organized or creative as the templates we enjoy on the reMarkable 2 tablet. College students who buy their own books love the ability to interact directly with the text in writing, and it is a huge letdown that the Kindle Scribe cannot support this feature.įor journaling and freewriting, the Kindle Scribe offers few template options, and none that work well with popular journal methods. You cannot actually write on the book page, in the margins, for instance. For most fans of notebooks and written tasks, the Scribe offers the bare minimum, and there are better options to be found in the competition.įor students and academics, the Scribe only allows you to write notes as sticky notes appended to a book. On the other hand, if you’ve been excited about a Kindle that you can also use for journaling, note taking, and other writing tasks, the Kindle Scribe is a huge letdown. If you’ve been craving a gigantic reading screen for bigger fonts and larger images, the Scribe is a joy to use. Still, the screen is much larger than the next-biggest Kindle Oasis' 7-inch display and there's no sacrifice of the remarkable pixel density, so everything is super sharp and glorious on screen. If you want to read books on a large-screen Kindle, the Scribe is an easy ereader to recommend, although the price is high for the category. The USB-C port for charging, as well as the power button are both strangely placed on the side of the device, near the middle, but this isn't unique to the Scribe and can be seen on the Onyx Boox Note series tablets too. You can flip the Scribe and hold the larger edge with your right hand, but then the Amazon logo will be frowning. It has a bezel all around, with a larger edge on the left side, if you hold the tablet Amazon smile-up. The Kindle Scribe has rounded corners and smoothly curved edges with a wide, flat back, which interestingly has four tiny nubs for feet. Where it differs, other than the obvious size, is the missing page-turn buttons and the asymmetric thickness that we love on the Oasis. The Amazon Kindle Scribe looks like a much larger version of the Kindle Oasis, thanks to the all-metal chassis. Port and power are weirdly placed on the side.Big and bright display doesn’t sacrifice sharpness.The only thing the Scribe cannot do is take a dip in the ocean, which the Kindle Oasis can legitimately handle, saltwater and all. ![]() The Scribe costs $90 / £110 / AU$150 more than the Kindle Oasis, which has only a 7-inch display, half the storage space, and no pen support. The more interesting price comparison is between the Kindle Scribe and other Kindle ereaders. ![]()
