Kindle Scribe (2022 release) - 32 GB, the first Kindle and digital notebook, all in one, with a 10.2" 300 ppi Paperwhite display, with built-in notebook summarisation. Includes Premium Pen

I only got my Scribe yesterday, and I still haven't emailed any notes to myself yet, however from what I've seen it's a really good device~ I found the writing to be natural and in some ways easier and quicker than paper notebooks. (You don't have to worry about scrumpling the paper as you write, or notes bleeding through the page from the other side, obviously!) I bought it specifically to take notes and journal in, and I'm going to do a notebook per month, and keep that in a separate folder from other notes, then archive by year. That's a great feature for organisation. I'm not sure about whether drawings are transferrable to other devices yet, so I'd be interested in that, because I like to copy and paste little doodles (both in pen and highlighter) to put at the bottom of pages (because if I write to the bottom of a page I get hand cramps and my handwriting goes rubbish, though this is just a general thing, not to do with the kindle!) Re the drawings thing, I'd find it really entertaining to make little flipbooks on there, and perhaps it wouldn't take that much effort for Amazon to make a flipbook feature! (I do understand if it's not intended be be used as an artists' device though, just thought it might be a fun thing for some people!) If that were the case, it would be great if there were features like a felt-tip pen that gets a bit scribbly/faded with speed of drawing, or some colour options potentially in future models. I really like the screen~ it feels huge compared to my Paperwhite! I read voraciously, so this is great for me. I also really appreciate being able to adjust the warmth of the light, alongside the general light/dark display. This is great for night time reading as normal white screen light tends to mess with people's circadian rhythms. (Though in bed I tend to still use the older, smaller one because it's easier to hold and not drop on my face/my partner/my cat!) I bought the version with the case and fancy pen, which I do recommend. The case also has an inbuilt pen holder so you don't have to solely rely on the magnet at the side of the kindle holding it in place, e.g. when travelling. I would suggest that next time Amazon does a promo with multiple items however, that they include a matte screen protector as well. And perhaps earphones? One thing that could be improved is that I'd like a wired (mini jack) earphone connection because bluetooth earbuds give me headaches. Mind you, I don't even know if you can listen to audiobooks from this device because I haven't actually tried it due to my oldschool ways! Haha. So please disregard that if it isn't relevant. Maybe there's some earphones I could plug in if they had the right connector? Not sure how all that actually works yet. Perhaps someone in the know could reply and inform me? Or I'll investigate. Really helpful tool for songwriting and poetry, because you can freeflow whilst in a creative state, then copy the whole page and reorder lines/verses for when you're ready to edit things, which involves a different brain-mode~ for me at least! Also if you're writing chords to go above lyrics you can do them in a different font and size them to whatever seems convenient/legible. (Colour feature would be useful here as well potentially.) I really like that there's a music notation preset format as well! (I've not tried it yet but it's a total unexpected bonus! I wonder if this could be transferable to Sibelius or Logic, for example? Might be a really good thing for music students.) Overall, I'm really happy with the Kindle Scribe. I particularly enjoy doing random doodles/one liner notes on a blank page and then resizing them and shuffling them about. It's very satisfying to see a whole page of various brain-dribblings in various fonts and sizes like a real notebook but neater and without any crossings out.

I have been looking at the Kindle Scribe and Remarkable 2 for some time and was a bit torn as to which one to get. A friend has the Remarkable 2 so I had seen one of them but I'd not set eyes on the Scribe. I do have quite a few Kindle books but have never actually owned a Kindle and that was one of my primary reasons for leaning towards the Scribe. I read a lot of Scribe reviews early days and they all seemed to say the hardware was great but the software was lacking so I just kept an eye on the reviews as steadily Amazon added the features people were longing for. Prime day arrived and I took the plunge on a 32GB Kindle Scribe with the Premium pen and got a fairly cheap case (£16) to go with it. I am so glad I did because I have been using it a heck of a lot. Reading: I have probably read more recently than I have in years. I take it to read when I am sat in the car waiting for the kids at their clubs, much better than the laptop and phone I used to take with me. I have been using it to read in bed which I have probably not done for over 30 years. The backlit screen is great for reading in bed because I don't wake the wife. Writing: I work in cyber security and spend most of my day on a laptop or in meetings. Despite being a techie I still prefer making notes on paper rather than writing notes on the laptop. Downside of this is I end up with loads of paper kicking about so the main reason for getting the Scribe was to do away with the reams of paper I end up collating. I have not been disappointed at all with the writing performance. I write really small and thought it might not work so well for me but it works perfectly. I am using it all day long at work instead of paper now and an really happy with it. Organising the different notebooks is a breeze and it actually is much better than using paper pads because you can better organise your notes. Screen: Books and your own written content are very clear on the Paperwhite screen. With the back light on it literally looks like you are writing on a notepad because it is white rather than grey. I’ve been using it with the back light off in the office though as you don’t really need it in a well lit office and battery should last even longer. I have used it in the summerhouse where it was too bright to see my phone screen properly and the Kindle screen was perfectly readable. Pen: I have the premium pen and I would say it is probably worth getting for the rubber feature alone. Although it would not be the end of the world selecting the rubber tool from the menu I could see it being a bit annoying compared to just flipping the pen. The button I have configured as a highlighter but rarely use it so would not really miss that feature. I read some reviews that said the magnet is not strong enough to hold the pen but mine really snaps into place and is firmly attached when the slightly flat side is towards the Kindle. Mine is a later one so maybe Amazon have addressed this, not sure all I can say is it is more than adequate to hold the pen. Nice to haves (Amazon if you are listening): Just some things that I have either not worked out how to do yet or don’t exist. When sorting books into collections by opening the collection and selecting add/remove, it would be nice to be able to filter the list of books to add by those not already in a collection. I have a lot of books and it is very tedious to have to go through the full book list for each collection. It would be nice to be able to access the “Home, Library, Notebooks” navigation menu whilst being in a book or notebook to be able to switch between them more quickly. Overall: A great bit of kit I have no regrets in purchasing it. £300 would probably buy enough notepads and pens for life but I am glad I have this instead.

Absolutely love my scribe. I was wanting a note taking device to replace the many scraps of paper that cluttered up my desk and found out about the remarkable, but the price made me think twice. Then I found the scribe and as a much more affordable option I opted to give it a go (thinking that being able to read my kindle library would be nice too!) And I'm very impressed. Writing feels fluid and responsive. The image is clear and the size of the display is great for writing, sketching and reading books. It's nice and light too for the size. The pen is comfortable and easy to write with. I'll admit the software for notetaking is fairly basic in some respects. But it can do anything pen and paper can do, with some nice extras like a choice of linespacing or calendar templates etc. Regardless I'm so glad I picked it up. So if anyone else wants to avoid scraps of paper all accross our desk, it's a great option

Initially I purchased this ahead in August 2023 of started a PhD but it has become far more useful, so after a year of use and ample opportunity to impress a review is definitely required. To start, the bigger screen is more than helpful when reading research articles, definitely a bonus. Having endless paper and pen alternatives at my finger tips has been a godsend when in meetings both face to face and online. I decided to try it for work as an events coordinator and the ability to document things in folders that are separate is a bonus! It enables my thoughts and actions to be clearly compartmentalized in one space. As a side bonus it's an amazing tool for notes during d&d 😂. I use this on an almost daily basis between everything plus reading on it and the batter lasts me around a week with the sleep motion case on. That being said there are definitely issues which a resolution would be beneficial and make the scribe 5 stars instead of 4 1. The pen nibs....honest to god get yourself the titanium ones when you purchase straight off the bat. The plastic ones were lasting me just weeks and at the end of their life they make the screen behave erratically, not great when you don't have spare ones on you as there is no storage space for them! Plus the titanium ones write so much smoother and are more precise 2. Transfer to PC. I have found that the document transfer has led to one big long sentence despite me using paragraphs and following the directions of use. Very frustrating and creates extra work but I've learnt to deal with it as I have no choice....something they need to fix. 3. Highlighting options. Because it is black and white e-ink only highlighting doesn't transfer to documents which are uploaded to a PC. Very inconvenient so I use asterix instead 4. Can become very weighty if being held for a long period of note taking. With all this being said I still love my scribe but I am contemplating a Samsung tablet (a friend has one) which is full colour and uploads as written not just in a single sentence and for my use that would be easier. I just expected the final tweaks to be done over year after release and disappointed that they haven't been.

When Amazon launched the Kindle I was living in Australia and had to wait for some time for Amazon to release the Kindle there. I think it was about 2009, a year or two after it was launched in the US. From its very first US launch I knew I wanted one and when it became available in Australia I got one and it was everything I hoped it would be. I felt like I was on board the USS Enterprise from the Next Generation, I loved it. It had a physical keyboard and big chunky page turn buttons, things I miss today. Then I saw Amazon had released a big Kindle, the DX. I never owned one but I did get to play with one. An American colleague had one. I worked as a university lecturer and spent a lot of time reading journal articles my library had photocopied for me. They were also able to scan them and make PDFs. I yearned to read them on my beloved Kindle but on my little Kindle it just wasn’t a good experience. My colleague and I would sit and read PDFs on his DX. At the time I was still, foolishly, clinging on to my old Nokia phone and old and trusty PalmPilot. Reading on his DX we’d often point to things with a pen, so we could concentrate on certain parts of the document. It was fun to study documents that way, then one day I left my PalmPilot on the table next to the DX and we both looked at it and looked at each other. Basically we’d both invented the idea of the Scribe (so Amazon you can mail the royalty check any time :)). When Amazon did launch the Scribe I looked at some reviews and they all said to wait, it was a proof of concept but not a finished product, apparently it lacked some key features. Having played with the DX I knew the concept was great but I waited until now. I just purchased a Scribe and it is exactly what I wanted all those years ago. The only minor complaint is having to load my PDFs using the ‘Send to Kindle’ website or email them if I want to annotate and write on them, which I do. I can’t just hook it up to a computer and side load documents and use them. Minor, as it currently works ok. I love the various pen options and everything Amazon has added over the last year or so. Notebooks are great on the Scribe, I especially love the email export options, with OCR turning my handwritten notes to typed text, pretty accurately too. But the killer feature is the sending my notebooks as scannable PDFs. I love the Scribe, it’s not only the best Kindle I’ve ever had (and I currently have a 6th Gen Paper White and Kindle Oasis models) it is also the best note taking device I’ve used (iPad and BOOX Note Air). In just a year it has gone from a proof of concept device that had loads of promise to an incredible device thanks to just a few software updates, (the hardware was always fantastic) I can only imagine what the future of the Scribe holds and I’m looking forward to using this device for many years to come.

I was after this to fulfil two wants. 1) to be a manga and comic reader for titles bought from Comixology. 2) to be used as a note taking for studies I was aware of the limitations of the note taking after watching numerous reviews, and it worked as well as I expected. Honestly a bit better than I expected. I feel its solid for what it is, but if your after more advanced note taking for college/uni then I'd recommend you look elsewhere. Writing feels amazing, they nailed the feel of writing and think it's a very natural feel. if this was what I was wanting I'd be happy, mostly. However for me the main use would be reading manga and comics bought on Amazon. For normal books this seems to work fine, for the most part. However some titles I KNOW I own just don't show up, and after a bit if digging it seems they were pulled by amazon from sale for what ever reason. Oddly, they show up in my IOS app, but not on the scribe or my oasis, which both use a different OS. This is made worse on the comixology side of things, where parts of a series are missing, a volume here or there. It makes no sense. Also after they (Amazon) merged the kindle and comixology app they added a new filter to the filters Manga and Comics. This meant you could easily see all your bought comics. Which when tied with the option to group series together (which works most of the time) it meant you had a nice uncluttered view. This is missing from the e-reader side, which makes for a nightmare time finding things. Especially if your like me and have almost 2000 books. Which is made worse by the fact you can't search when adding books to collections. Let's talk collections, a nice tool, if it works. I spend a good couple of hours organising my books into collections on my MacBook, because the Mac App lets you search when adding to collections. I can't stress how much a QOL feature that is! However when I then went back to the scribe, synched it up and went to my collections, they're empty. All the collection folders are there, correctly named etc etc. However they're empty, my 2 hours work was all wasted. Again, on the Oasis the collections are there, but are again empty. When I went and checked the IOS app, all my collections were there and and properly populated with the books. Including all the afore mentioned missing volumes. There seems to be issues with the OS running on the e-readers that is not there on either the desktop or mobile apps. Which at £400 is NOT acceptable. I understand that this is Amazon's first foray into e-ink notebooks, but the core OS has been around for ages now as it's used on the other kindle readers. So certain core functionality of collections and searching SHOULD be working properly by now. As should the comic filter and series collecting. I did try to use the call support feature on the Amazon website, and on the one hand I was quickly connected to someone/thing. The line was so bad, and the voice on the other end could have been a high pitch screaming AI for all I could tell. Was so bad I had to hang up. I like the concept of the device, but can't recommend it, I would say wait for the next iteration

I have been a Kindle user since 2012/2013 when I bought my first Kindle (4th generation) and I've been upgrading it every few years. The love of my life was my Paperwhite but when I heard about the Kindle Scribe I was intrigued. After months of research, I finally decided to buy it. I read every review out there, article, whatever could help me to make an informed decision as I'm from Argentina and it is not easy to buy these kinds of devices here. In fact, I bought the Scribe when I was in the UK on holiday. I bought the Kindle Scribe a month and a half ago and I was super excited to get it. Even though I knew that it was bigger than the paperwhite, I hadn't expected it to be THAT big. The first time I tried to read on the Scribe, I almost cried, I was lying in bed and I felt it was too heavy, too big, too uncomfortable and I missed my Paperwhite terribly. The next morning I started to think that it may not have been worth it, that maybe I should return it, but every time I tried to do it I looked at the screen and how good it looked, how the words and everything were so clear, I was mesmerized by the quality of it, you do really notice the 300PPI! And little by little, I started reading more and more. Now, I cannot stop using it, the fact that it's a little bit heavier and bigger doesn't bother me anymore. It's just like holding a book, but the paperwhite was so lightweight that at first I was overwhelmed by it all, the size, the weight and now there isn't a single day that I don't use it. I really like taking notes while I read and the premium pen writes smoothly and it is almost as if you are writing on paper. The one thing that could be improved is that it would be great if we could write in the book instead of having to use the sticky notes, but it's not that big a deal. I've been also using the notebooks to jot down notes when I'm in college and I love it, so much better than paper. The only disadvantage is that every now and then you have to replace the nibs of the pen and they are not easy to get here. Luckily, I bought some extra just in case. I'm glad that I didn't return it because after a month of using it, getting used to the size and everything I can honestly say that this is the best "investment" I have made. I just love it! It is the perfect Kindle. Of course, there are things to improve but so far the good outweighs the bad.

I looked in some detail at the boox and the remarkable. But ultimately settled for the scribe which was definitely the right decision. I read a lot during a commute and also like to write to do lists or journal so I needed something that provided both options. Although the boox could have provided this capability it also has so many elements that I don’t need as well as it being quite a complex device and more expensive. And the remarkable can’t take kindle books. The scribe is excellent. It writes very well with no discernible lag and moving between notebooks and reading books is quick enough. I have utilised the handwriting text capability when sending by email and have been pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of conversion although the ultimate text file is basic and doesn’t account for new paragraphs. It all gets lumped in as one piece of text (but does get page break indications) I can then copy the text and put into a Word doc for further editing if need be. Obviously being a kindle the reading is top notch and the size of the screen results in less frequent page turns than the regular sized kindles. I suppose the draw back of the scribe would be in those moments when you are crammed on a train and could do with a smaller option but in those instances I would resort to a phone. Although a large screen it is light but probably best held two handed or supported e.g. on a lap. I also purchased the cover with it which I love. It clicks in magnetically and is easily removable which I prefer to do when I read. I have memories of trying to take iPads out of their covers to achieve the same. Other reviews have commented about the nib life of the pen and it does wear quite quickly and you can tell when it starts to feel slightly rougher - but the writing experience is so good that it’s worth updating nibs for. In terms of feel of writing it isn’t very grippy but neither is it like writing in an ipad screen. The pen flows easily but without slipping. Internet browsing was not a priority when purchasing the scribe but there is the capability albeit not in the same league as other tablets that are designed for the full colour and responsive internet experience. So yes, you can browse but if seamless and instant browsing is desired then this may not be for you. One thing that I would love to have been included is integration with OneNote but this may be asking too much! If you love your reading and you need to take notes or do any written then this is perfectly suitable.

I'm been a Kindle fan for a long time. Since before they were available in Australia, I would import from the USA. I still remember my first kindle, I tried to find the plastic to peel off, only to realise, it wasn't a printed plastic sticker, it was the text of the screen! I've been in love ever since. Being able to have hundreds of books with me without carrying boxes or taking up room space is still amazing to me. I strongly believe the eBook and eink reader was the best invention of my lifetime. The Scribe is everything I envisioned the Kindle would one day be. A reading, writing and drawing device. The big glorious screen is amazing for reading. It's like printed text on a page the magically glows. The large screen makes the pages feel less cramped than other ereaders and feels more like you're look at the page of a nice glossy book. The pen and writing on the screen is fantastic. I'm not exaggerating when I say it actually feels like writing on paper. I've had tablets and pens before, that claim the same, with expensive filters and screen protectors that wear out after a month and need to be constantly replaced, only to get, at best, to feel better than writing on glass, but not feel like actual paper (despite the claims). This actually feels like paper. It makes writing enjoyable and the screen refreshes so fast there is no lag. The pixel density of the screen and pressure sensitivity of the pen, makes the writing look like your natural handwriting. There are a lots of great templates to use and folders to organise it all. There's even an option to PIN lock the device for security. Which also translates over to a great drawing experience. I'm looking forward to taking a few online drawing courses and since the kindle can be used in full sun, it's going to be a great sketch pad. They've updated the drawing tools over the year and added more features. No doubt layers are in the works. So if you read/watched any reviews, be aware they're outdated when they mention the drawing tools. It's not as comprahensive as dedicated graphic art apps or dedicated drawing devices, but it has the tools needed. And as they say, limitation breeds creativity. This is the best device I've purchased in years. I wish I had this when I was a young man. Everyone should own this device. Reading, writing and drawing is what makes humans, human. And something that can unleash the creativity spark in us all, and help pass knowledge and storytelling between peoples and generations, is something very special indeed.

Great e-reader performance if you like a slightly larger book then your typical paperback size, this will be a great size for you. Typical Kindle screen performance and readability. Now to the "Scribe" functionality. Works as described and is a pleasure to write on. Pen could be a little thicker and I find the button on the side of premium pen occasionally gets accidentally pressed while writing. Importing your own PDF's and files is easy and writing on them is a breeze. You can definitely use the scribe as a notepad replacement. A few more pen options and ability to insert or create shapes would be handy. Ability to add your own templates to the notes section or import PDF forms as templates to fill in and ability to save as a new document/file is needed. You may be able to do this already an I just haven't worked out how yet. Really easy learning curve, especially if you have previously had a Kindle. Set up was done in under 10 minutes and I had my own PDF's and folders sorted in under 30 minutes. It would be well served with a bit more powerful processor but its not super critical and I am probably more of a power user, one of the PDF's I'm using is a Daily Organizer replacement with 2000+ pages that are fully hyperlinked. For less then 1 day of use its replaced a diary, multiple note books, a telephone message pad, a hand-full of hard copy forms and the list is quickly growing. My next project will be to load product catalogs and product spec cheat sheets. It has enough functions as it is to easily integrate into my existing work flow. If Amazon added a rear camera so you can attach/insert pics to PDF's would make this a truly versatile tool without going to a full tablet.

A su lado, el Paperwhite que tengo parece de risa, pones el Scribe en horizontal, con texto a dos columnas, con la tipografía, el espaciado y los márgenes que prefieras y no hay mejor manera de leer, cada paso de página del Scribe son más de 5 pasos de página con el Paperwhite (usando el mismo tamaño, espaciado, etc). Aun así, conservo el Paperwhite para usarlo fiera de casa, ya que es mucho más portátil y te cabe en el bolso. Comparado con otros dispositivos, como tablets, smartphones o el mismo libro real, a la foto me remito. La tablet y el móvil están abiertos por la misma página que en el resto, la misma tipografía y todo, usando la app de Kindle. Aunque no lo parezcan, están encendidos con el brillo al máximo, eso es lo que pasa cuando tratas de usarlos en exterior. En interiores, por otro lado, la tablet y el móvil, especialmente usando la app de Kindle en modo oscuro, pueden servir para leer, pero nada que ver con un ebook de verdad, sobre todo en sesiones de lectura largas. Lo mejor suele ser importar los epub al Kindle a través del “enviar a Kindle”, así puedes descargarlo en cualquier dispositivo y todo lo que vas subrayando y anotando se sincroniza con Whyspersync a otros dispositivos (otros Kindle, smartphone, tablet y PC), excepto las notas a mano, que estas, al menos de momento, solo las puedes compartir con otros dispositivos si usas la opción de enviar por email. A la hora de leer el lápiz va muy bien, usando las notas adhesivas y los subrayados, es como leer en papel (si eres de los que subraya y anota, claro), pero sin los inconvenientes de ese formato, que no son pocos. Es cierto que si transformas un libro de epub a PDF con Calibre, por ejemplo, luego lo puedes usar “enviar a Kindle” y vas a poder escribir directamente encima del libro en PDF y subrayar directamente en el libro como si fuera de papel (ver screenshots), pero pierdes todas las ventajas de poder modificar la tipografía y el formato del texto (una vez transformado a PDF ya no puedes modificarlo) y los libros acaban ocupando más espacio que si los subes en formato epub. Incluso en PDF podrás seguir subrayando el texto de la manera tradicional (manteniendo pulsado y deslizando) y todo lo que rayes encima del libro lo puedes exportar por email, de hecho, puedes exportar todo el libro por email, pero los subrayados “a mano” no van a estar indexados, a diferencia de los subrayados tradicionales. He probado las dos cosas y al menos de momento, prefiero enviar el epub a la nube de Kindle y usar las notas adhesivas y el subrayado tradicional, me parece más eficiente y limpio que garabatear encima del libro en formato PDF, aunque esto último puede ser más divertido y auténtico. Eso es todo a lo referente a la parte de leer, respecto a la parte de libreta, aunque está algo verde en cuanto a capas, importar imágenes a las libretas y demás, es como si escribieras en un papel de verdad, apenas tiene lag y sí, tu horrible tipografía seguirá siendo igual de horrible que en papel real, prueba irrefutable de que funciona a la perfección. Aunque los prediseños que hay para los cuadernos son algo escasos, siempre puedes importar agendas, calendarios, libretas, pasatiempos, etc en formato PDF con “enviar a Kindle” y escribir sobre ellos, con lo que realmente las posibilidades son ilimitadas. Además, dichos PDF pueden llevar hipervínculos, con lo que yo ya me he deshecho de mi agenda de papel, no hay vuelta atrás. Por otro lado, el lápiz en sí está muy bien y es totalmente pasivo, así que no lo tendrás que cargar nunca. Sobre otras propiedades del dispositivo, como la iluminación, nada que decir, es perfecta, como era de esperar. Esta es la gran ventaja de leer en digital (aparte del indexado de los libros, los subrayados, las notas, el espacio, el precio, etc), que no necesitas luz. Como pegas decir que es algo caro (y eso que lo compré de oferta), pero si lo comparas con el remarkable y otras libretas de tinta electrónica chinas… no lo es tanto. Esta es la mejor con diferencia, ya que no solo es una libreta electrónica, es el mejor ebook para leer en casa y definitivamente, la mejor manera de leer que existe (al menos hasta que saquen una versión a color) para la gente que le gusta leer de verdad. Los libros en papel han quedado ya relegados para los que posan para fotos… o para el apocalipsis electrónico después de una llamarada solar. Por ejemplo, algunos libros que ya tenía e iba a leer en papel, los voy a leer directamente en el Scribe, paso ya de tochos de papel sin indexar donde no tienes ventajas como el buscador, los subrayados indexados, la iluminación integrada, el enviar por email, el no tener que sujetar las hojas, tener que hacerles sitio en estanterías o cajones, etc. Realmente la única ventaja que les queda a los libros de papel, es que puedes prestarlos (y olvidarte de ellos porque no te los van a devolver). En cuanto a la batería, tiene muchas más horas de uso que otros dispositivos, especialmente si no usas la iluminación ni el wifi, pero creo que vale la pena usar ambas cosas, salvo que te quede muy poca batería y no haya donde cargarlo. Además, gracias a su conector USB-C se carga muy rápido si dispones de un cargador algo potente. Finalmente, decir que la funda que he comprado no es la original, ya que la original va por imanes y no agarra bien el dispositivo, una leve sacudida y adiós a tu Scribe. También me he comprado un atril que va de cine para leer y no dejarte las cervicales en el proceso, porque, aunque las fundas se puedan doblar y poner en diferentes poses, no tienen la altura suficiente para colocarlos sobre la mesa y leer cómodamente durante ratos largos.

Un nuovo aggiornamento della mia recensione, che riguarda anche il nuovo scribe. Tutto molto bene. La nuova versione del software (5.17.2) permette di scrivere sui libri, di inserire le note in modo dinamico. In più oramai i pdf vengono rielaborati in modo da essere responsibi proprio come un libro. Questo però ha portato a un problema che non mi aspettavo. Una cosa che trovavo fondamentale era la possibilità importando un pdf via usb, di potervi poi scrivere sopra, come fosse un taccuino. Questa possibilità, per la revisione dei testi risulta fondamentale. Frecce, cerchi, sottolineature su un testo che non si sposta consentono di editare un testo come se si lavorasse sulla carta. Adesso invece (è scritto anche sul sito) non è più possibile scrivere in questa modalità. Spero davvero che con il prossimo aggiornamento questa possibilità sarà ripristinata perché è una limitazione. Sarebbe anche ideale poter decidere, su send to kindle, la modalità di elaborazione del pdf (sbaglio o prima l'opzione c'era?). Grande lavoro, in ogni caso. Avanti così! Lascio sotto la recensione originale Dopo più di un anno di utilizzo devo confermare l'idea che il kindle scribe si è reso un compagno irrinunciabilie per la lettura e lo studio, certamente, ma anche per la revisione dei miei testi. Quindi qui mi limiti ad alcune cose che ho verificato e che potrebbero tornare utili, a meno di un mese dall'uscita dello scribe 2 (già preordinato) a chi usa o a chi acquisterà a prezzo ribassato lo scribe 2022 nel prossimo futuro: 1) C'è un problema con la gomma. In modo erratico e imprevedibile la gomma smette di funzionare sia nei taccuini sia nei pdf. La soluzione che ho adottato è quella di usare il pulsante per attivare la gomma e in questo modo la cancellazione è rapida. La mia impressione che il tasto fosse in una posizione fastidiosa, per me, rischiando in continuazione di premerlo accidentalmente è cambiata, cambiando leggermente la mia impugnatura posso adesso usare più rapidamente la gomma con il tasto, piuttosto che girare lo stilo. 2) La questione delle annotazioni dei pdf e dei tacuini esportabili solo come png. Il fatto che un pdf annotato e sovrasritto non possa essere poi ri-esportato in formato pienamente vettoriale è un po' limitante. Le parti scritte a mano sono infatti tutte su un nuovo layer png trasparente, a quel che posso capire, e non, come sarebbe stato più carino, secondo me, come vettori. Vabbè, niente di grave ma potrebbe essere migliorato. 3) Ancora sui pdf. Dopo averci un po' studiato ho verificato che i pdf si comportano in modi molto diversi a seconda del modo in cui li si importa sullo scribe. Usando l'applicazione send to kindle il pdf viene trasformato in un file ebook (non ho verificato, ma immagino sia un epub) il che aumenta di molto la leggibilità ma impedisce di scriverci sopra (cosa che sembra cambierà con il nuovo scribe), mentre se lo si invia tramite email il pdf conserva la sua impaginazione ed è sovrascrivibile. Qui mi rifersico a pdf esportati di solo testo. Anche l'icona cambia, dal simbolo del pdf a quella di documento con l'angolo piegato. Non ho fatto il test con pdf contenenti immagini, per adesso. Avere questa scelta è molto utile, ma sarebbe bene che amazon rendesse possibile effettuare la scelta direttamente al momento del caricamento Per il resto tutto fantastico ----- Dopo un mese di utilizzo piuttosto intensivo sono decisamente contento dell'acquisto, e mi sento di fare qualche prima osservazione: 1) la modalità scrittura "penna stilografica" mi ha sorpreso: riesce a migliorare decisamente la mia orribile calligrafia, tanto che il riconoscimento automatico della scrittura riesce ad estrarre dei testi quasi sensati. 2) il peso è eccessivo, il che rende la lettura a letto e in altre situazioni senza appoggio piuttosto scomoda 3) il pulsante sulla penna è solo un fastidio. Lo tengo disattivato semplicemente per evitare che mentre scrivo il premerlo accidentalmente (che succede in continuazione, data la posizione proprio nell'area di presa della mano) faccia partire l'evidenziatore o cose simili. Sarebbe forse più razionale a metà penna, in modo da essere attivabile col pollice. Oppure toglierlo del tutto. 4) Forse aumenterei la parte della cornice laterale più sottile a spese di quella più spessa, per diminuire i tocchi accidentali quando lo si tiene con due mani e che fanno girare inavvertitamente le pagine 5) la costante presenza dell'icona del menù di scrittura è fastidiosa. La si può spostare a destra e a sinistra ma sarebbe utile, per es., poterla spostare nel menù a discesa o farla comparire con tocco prolungato dell'area intorno al testo. Questo particolarmente negli ebook, dato che lì è praticamente inutile e doppiamente fastidiosa. Un ottimo strumento sia per la scrittura, sia per la lettura purché in appoggio su un piano.

I got this Kindle Scribe after debating for weeks: do I really need this? will this enhance my life? I really had to justify the price because it is a bit expensive. If you can wait until it's on sale, I recommend you do. It's perfect for me and I have no regrets. I read on a Kindle paperwhite 99% of the time, and I like taking handwritten notes for work because I have a tendency to forget to check note files on my computer. On my phone too, there are so many distractions that I never use my planners or productivity apps. But the Kindle Scribe works perfectly because of how streamlined the features are. Am I reading, shopping for books, or taking notes? I can't get distracted by books when I am taking notes, and I don't get distracted by my notebooks when I am reading. It's perfect. After the updates, the different pens, pressure sensitivity, sizes, lasso tool etc, I have to say the notebook experience is top tier. When using the pencil, you can even do some basic sketching as it detects when the pencil is held on the side or the tip so you can make a variety of lines and the pressure sensitivity feels great. If you are on the fence, I say go for it. I am now using it for everything. I don't always use it to read as I find a Paperwhite with a pop socket is more portable and comfortable for reading most of the time, but I love that I can bring this with my laptop at a cafe and work, take reading breaks, annotate PDFs, etc. If you send your PDFs via Send To Kindle (specifically), you can write on them! I downloaded a bunch of workbooks in PDF format and have been using them to learn languages this way instead of a physical workbook. It's great. You can erase, trace letters (if learning a language with a different alphabet). It is also amazing if like reading graphic novels because of the larger screen size. 10/10
