As someone who is planning to buy kindle and confused about these models, I appreciate your comment that the new one is not much of an upgrade. This will save me a lot of money. Thanks

I heard about Anytype a year ago, but have not tried, because I was quite happy with the app I was using. I was a Notion user 3 years ago, but dropped it completely when it was obvious that privacy was an issue and development picked up to point where almost everything broke……still had my data, but my layouts were destroyed. I calculated it would have taken me at least a few weeks to refactor everything, if not longer. Anyway……..I have decided to move on to try Anytype, it’s early days it looks like a great experience…..AND is local first which Notion wasn’t. Let’s see how I go with this. Looks promising for my use case.

"Anytype is locked into passphrase nonsense" Do yourself favour. If you do not understand privacy issues, don't crap on them. It seriously undermines your credibility - a lot. If you took the time to understand why anytype uses key phrase, you would understand how great that is. You may not agree that your particular usage/thread models demands this level of privacy, that is fine to state. Butyou are making a video to the general public, not minions that follow your own personal likes/dislikes. You are not being objective at all. I chose anytype precisely because of them using IPFS with key phrase you add to your password manager. They have a stand alone, fully offline app. Not Capacities which is tied to the cloud and who knows how your data is used.

this seems so unnecessarily complicated, I work with Obsidian, Capacities, Logseq, Airtable, Coda ... but I see no benefit in Anytpe. Anything I missed?

I know you're a Mac guy, but constantly referring to an IPad is a different genre. The Scribe is an E-Ink / E-Note / E-Reader.

I just watched a tutorial on Spring Boot 6 and Anytype is harder to understand

The comment about "passphrase nonsense" unfortunately disqualifies the entire video, as the author has not understood the core approach of Anytype and omits the most important point that Anytype has for itself: data security, encryption and (if desired) data locality. I myself also know the struggle of the complexity of the application, but to simply dismiss this core element with "passphrase nonsense" just shows that the examination of the application was not deep enough to be able to make a qualified comparison.

I am not trying to be a ANYTYPE Fan but anytypes entire app is OFFLINE

lol, i forgot that the scribe can use a browser

I just got the colorsoft, its pretty cool. I might regret that I traded in my paperwhite for it, but it is still a good portable option. I use my kindle scribe pretty often and if the new software is coming to it, then I'll stay there. My optimal loadout would be a color scribe for the larger reader and a paperwhite for the portable one. (I know both are portable, but hopefully, you know what I mean.)

anytype is honestly pretty stupid

Anytype accound making thing is just plane better for security and that's what they are aiming for

I would love it if I could choose to make a property/relation global or tied to a specific object type. Anytype's relations library makes me crazy.

Very good points made in this video.

The Oasis had 3 generations (with only one major change between the 1st and 2nd gen)

Amazon didnt announce these out of nowhere!! I can tell when theyre releasing the next model paperwhite.......oct 2027

There's a vacuum left from Notion now that they are focusing on enterprise and collaboration. I think capacities will grow faster as their tradeoffs seem more in line with growth

Can the scribe do google docs as well? Anything google?

The OASIS battery sucked and the charging port was obsolete, The form factor was excellent. As for the Kindle Scribe, I have the 1st gen., I bought it for the form factor of a larger screen, I can't say I baby the device, I haven't spilled anything on it, hasn't been anywhere near the elements as such, but has seen it's time in a bookbag, and some tossing around, no issues there, same Amazon cover, Just ordered a MOKO tablet sleeve, but I wish the Scribe came with some standard of protection rating. Still clunky with highlighting and note taking. I've lost my premium pen, and yes I pre ordered. I bought this as a dedicated reader with ability to note take. I have yet to find the need for Bluetooth/Audio. I enjoyed your review.

I think the fact that there’s no bin where you can find things if you accidentally delete them is awful. You could have a whole folder full of ideas & accidentally delete it & then it’s gone for good as there’s no way to get it back. Also, no ruler function makes the notebook more scruffy. There’s been too many times where I can’t open a folder or notebook. Restarting the scribe sometimes helped but sometimes it just seemed to take time & randomly rectify itself. That’s no good when you urgently need access to important notes. I’m really excited about the updates. Notes that are hidden on the book page are no good to me, so the new notes feature will be brilliant. I don’t have any problems with writing using the case I have. I’ll check which one it is & update this later.

Is there no improvement to processing speed or page turning when reading for example?

It’s a bit unfair to title your video “The Next Scribe Isn’t Good” versus saying there’s minimal updates. It’s a good as the first, which you own.

I can’t seem to put a calendar in my sidebar, is it only for mac users?

Me: What did you do in your previous job? Kindle Scribe engineer: iPhone.

Hi, thank you for such good a clear explanations, you are very kind to share this with us newbies. I wonder if you might be willing to share this setup as a template, or whatever they are called in AnyType? There is a significant learning curve to using this software and it would be great to install this and see how you did everything. Right now I'm using Google Sheets as a database - save me from myself!

I am just starting to 'try' Anytype and I'm finding it insanely fucking annoying because of all of the random connections, objects literalling everywhere. It's hell for someone with ADHD and there's no simple way to nest a folder structure.

I really needed this, thank you!

So in other words, the downsides far outweigh the upsides. So we shouldn't buy the Kindle Scribe. Got it.

I love the new scribe... Can't wait til mines come

Calendar content starts here: 3:35

Let's be honest: the real gamechanger will be a colour Kindle Scribe. As to the Oasis and the buttons, they've been implementing and removing them for years. Each time they come back, they make you pay extra (Voyage, Oasis), trying to sell you basic technology as a luxury you have to pay extra to get. Those who read laying in bed know way too well how importanti it is to have a larger bezel with buttons, so as to hold it firmly without needing to lift a finger.

As much as I liked the buttons and the shape of the Oasis, the battery was terrible…and I believe the ghosting was worse that the Paperwhite.

As someone that bought a Scribe in March….i was really happy that there wasn’t a major update. I would’ve had major buyer’s remorse.

I prefer the basic pen -- so there's at least one person in that camp. :-)

Honestly, I bought a scribe on this last prime day with the basic pen. I really liked it but definitely found the basic pen to be a hinderance. I decided to return it mostly for the pen. I know I could have bought it separately but I figured at that point I might as well just get the new one and call it a day.

Contrary to PianoMac's comment to the effect no one wants the standard pen, I own both and never use the premium pen. The little button on the side accidentally gets triggered when writing and the editing tools (erase for example) are right on the screen and easier to initiate then say flipping the pen to erase.

I’m getting the new scribe in the Metallic Jade colorway. The new AI summarization features and active canvas will be great as a student, and in many years, when I am no longer a student, I will pursue research and mental health counseling, so it is a long-term investment for me. I could have gotten the original scribe, but as of now, the 64 GB is hard to come by, and I prefer the new look. If I had the previous scribe, I would not “upgrade” since the software is portable, but for me, it would be worth it as the first thing I would be using the new one for is a research project.

As a writer, the new rubber eraser on the new Scribe alone is a big deal to me. It’ll feel more natural to write and erase with. Also, the fact that you can write directly on the books themselves is pretty neat along with the AI implementation where if you change the font size your notes won’t disappear, you’ll still be able to see them. As far as design goes, I’m personally a fan of the white bezels now and how sleek it looks, makes it seem more like a notebook to me. But I can see why if you already have a Scribe why you wouldn’t want to upgrade. I’m personally going to be buying the new one since I no longer have a Scribe.

can you sync anytype calender with google calender

The regular pen still magnets fyi - it's annoying to erase with

2:41 - incorrect! I copy/paste notes between notebooks and Epubs all the time. You just select and copy in the first book, navigate to the second book, and use the clipboard option in the pen menu. Very easy

At 2:10 you say Capacities confusedly calls sets collections. But in Capacities a Anytype set is just a query. And collections in Capacities are Anytype collection limited to one type. In my opinion the terminology of Anytype is insanely confusing.

I already know the apps, but i don't feel like I unterstand your decisions.

Great review.

Might buy one but tried on Amazon days and they said that the 32 gb and the 64gb were no longer available … the only one that was selling was the 16 gb which means they are trying to get rid of the smaller version and also seems like they are about to come out with a new one. Sorry I’m not getting stuck!
