- (Updated)The Amazon Kindle Scribe is trying to replace your notebook as your go-to note-taking device. It's smaller, can hold more, and is more capable than your average notepad.

The best thing about the scribe is that it's an exceptional e-reader.
I take lots of notes on different subjects, but it's even more impressive to have a whole library of books in just one device. I wish they could enable a split screen book/notebook feature. Writing is still a lot better for learning than just highlighting.
Use a Boox device
Underrated video, you deserve way more views! This video is what finally got me to pull the trigger and order the scribe.
I will say the ebook reader on multiple different brands are useful, and can be more useful than a book in very simple ways -- you can read in the dark with the built-in backlights on almost all models, you can quickly resize the text, depending on your reading needs (with or without glasses). Things you can't do with anything physical, without moving it closer to your nose or turning on a light. And if you have presbyopia or any other vision issues, moving it closer doesn't mean it's instantly more clear. So larger text can compensate for that. And the only way to fix that in the physical world is to get a magnifier. So now I'm carrying around by reading/writing material, my reading glasses or a magnifier, and a light attachment, all to take notes or read something. But this one device can cover all of that.
My solution: For my wife's upcoming birthday, I ordered two Kindle Scribes. It's her birthday gift, but I get one too. Modern solution for a modern problem.
fwiw, I'm an Evernote/ToDoist refugee. Currently playing with Joplin which is open source and available on PC and mobile devices. Not as polished as Evernote, but honestly Evernote was getting too feature rich with a price to match. I'm very much looking forward to leaning into the Kindle Scribe.
Thanks for the video, enjoyed it!
Great video! I'm also a left-hander. I flipped mine the other way so the wider side is on the right and the pen/magnet is on my left. Looking forward to learning more about scribe's features! Thank you! :)
Great video.. im probably going to hold off until the holidays and look for sales. THANKS!
Great review! I got my scribe when it first came out! The enhancements have been great! And I agree the writing experience is the best! If you love to read and write you can’t go wrong with the kindle scribe! Thanks for your review!
Give your wife the scribe and try a Supernote. 😅 Best notebook replacement hands down. has ocr search, tagging etc. I own both the Scribe and Supernote so am speaking from personal experience.
I'll have to do some research of the Supernote. May have another review coming soon.
Yeah Supernote is better
But… supernote you need to pay ongoing service right?
@@enriquediaz7547 nope thats Remarkable, their other competitor. Supernote is v consumer friendly. They still support previous gens w OS updates, advocate for right to repair, and are against planned obsolescence.
@@enriquediaz7547 there is no service /subscription
It will be interesting to get your long (er) term review. I’m re-trying a Scribe. (Tried it 6 months ago). I am a long time kindle ecosystem user.
If all you want to do is organize your note-taking, you’ll love the Scribe- it has a great screen, and yours is the perfect use case. If you want to integrate it with other applications on a computer, IOS, etc., then you’ll probably outgrow the Kindle ecosystem, and end up graduating to a reMarkable, Supernote, or Boox.
Best review I have seen!
Very nice review!
I have a Kindle Scribe for 5 days now and like it. I tried the Supernote Nomad and thought it was good but I did not like the writing experience because it felt close to an Ipad. The writing experience on the Kindle Scribe is just like paper and I especially like it with the fountain pen option. My only complaint is that I uploaded a PDF form that I use everyday for work and cannot seem to figure out how to use multiple pages of that same form. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Find a free online PDF that will let you duplicate the page as many time as you need, save it as a new document, and send it to your kindle.
My pen starts wrinting before i touch it...
I bought it. I hate it. It seems nobody is mentioning an important thing: everytime you turn the page, the screen takes a long time (thinking?) then it flashes and goes completely black, and only then does it show the next page. It is very very sloooooooooooow... Not good for your eyes!! You can't search inside the book or flip through it. It's a disaster. Maybe it is good for the trash bin. I can not recommend it. Do not buy one.
It is an e-ink device, and the refresh is expected. But I would not consider it slow. I have owned 4 e-ink devices since 2011. The Kindle Scribe is by far the fastest.
maybe your books is a pdf? PDF files load slow on any e-reader. Get an epub version of the book and it's lightning quick
@@finnthehuman8495 Me too, I have owned 4 of these devices, the scribe is the slowest.
@@ch3ckm8 I dislike epub files. All my pdf books (I have more than a million) work very well in other devices I have or had.
