    Thank you for your comparison...but the audience the new Kindle Scribe is going after is e-ink users. Amazon is changing the game to compete against reMarkable 2, Onyx Boox, Supernote and Note Air users, to name a few. I love my Samsung Tablet (the android version of your iPad) but they don't compare to the writing experience or crisp, clear reading you get with e-ink tablets. I love my reMarkable 2 AND I am also a Kindle fan/ owner as well...but I look forward to adding the Kindle Scribe to my mix because I can annotate AND read my Kindle books. If you want to do a fair comparison, do a side-by-side with the top players in e-ink. That is what e-ink fans are paying attention to right now.

      Completely agree. Comparing iPad Pro and Kindle makes no sense at all. I have iPad Pro with a pencil and GoodNotes and bought Scribe to have distraction free, blue light free reading in the evenings.

    I just got my Scribe, and for notetaking and reading it's great. I also have an iPad Pro (3 yrs old). I don't see the Scribe as a competitor to the iPad, they are for different scenarios. I use the iPad for all the things I can't do on the Kindle.

    the thing i love the most about my kindle is that it fits in my jeans back pocket. I would never buy a bigger screen. That being said, the ipad pro fully replaced my laptop and i’ve been an ipad-only user for 2 years already. I highly doubt this kindle could replace it.

      I have tried both the Scribe, and the Boox Note Air3 C. In my experience, e-Ink of any kind complements my IOS devices and MacBook Pro, rather than replacing them. That said, the one that gained the most traction was the Scribe, and the one that saw the greatest reduction in use, was the iPad. The Scribe is a lighter, less distracting and more attractive experience when it comes to print media consumption.

    Guys, you obsiously don't like reading at all. Reading from the IPad screen is not a pleasant excercise for your eyes. I've both Ipad and Kindle Scribe. The latest allows you to drop PDF documents as they are, without converting and to study them on a big e-ink screen without raping your eyes. It also helps you to read more books, highlighting them more smoothly and building vocabulary effectively. Cheers!

    • @alamba78
      @alamba78 2 месяца назад

      I know this is an old comment, but still. You can't annotate Kindle books without that clunky post-it overlay. PDFs is fine. The point of the iPad is it's multipurpose. It would make more sense to get a Paperwhite or any other cheaper model instead of the Scribe if you already have an iPad, and if reading books on an e-ink screen is important.

    It’s funny, I’ve owned every Kindle to include the oasis and many of their fires. With all the hype on iPads, I finally decided to break down and buy one for about $500 on Amazon. My students said I could do all kinds of awesome things on it to include grading papers. It just didn’t do anything for me. I didn’t find it intuitive. I didn’t find it useful, and admittedly, I’m much more of a newbie with an iPad than I am with anything that Amazon put out. I ended up giving my iPad to my son-in-law and buying the new scribe. I absolutely love it! If it comes to things that a fire, Kindle or an iPad Can do with regard to streaming videos, etc.. I can use my phone for that or my Chromebook. I just love the scribe and I got an offbrand composition cover which works just great. I highly recommended especially with all of the Kindle scribe only options for daily planners, drawing, games, like crossword puzzles. Best of all I think it is easy and intuitive. So while I appreciate your input, and I know you guys are the experts as far as I’m concerned, this was the right purchase for me.

  • @steverolfeca

    Just re-bought the Scribe. Rejected it in November because of the limited app support, but disliked the full-on Android experience w/Boox. In retrospect, the Scribe was addictive and got my face out of my iPad. The Boox NA3C did not. The brighter screen and better left-hander experience are what hooked me. Also, the last round of Scribe firmware updates helped a lot.

    I have always loved kindles and have several models from the first one. I bought this one too. I never thought I would take notes on it anyway but I thought the larger screen would be a plus. I find the larger screen is a problem, however. Reading at the distance I do you have to move your eyes along the longer line and even your head a tiny bit to read the bottom or top line with the smaller Kindle you don't have to do that. However, you can make the font much larger and still have more text on the screen so less page turning. I do love the adaptive lighting and the warm backlight which is easier on your eyes in a dark room. I have only had it for 3 days now but kind of wish I had not bought it. I will keep it and I hope to find more good things about it.

      I have the 6.8” Paperwhite only reason I got it instead of the 6” (what I think is the ideal portable ereader) is because the light temp adjustment was a must for me. I think the first Scribe should have been in that smaller size so it was adding the note taking capability to the ereader, rather than creating a notetaking device that was also an ereader. I know a bunch of people will disagree since no one wants to read textbooks on the small kindle, however until it has color I think many will continue to use tablets to read textbooks. The bigger size has a place, I’m sure, but as the flagship device I think they missed the mark.

    There are multiple anti-glare covers for the iPad that remove most of the advantages of the kindle for reading and eye-strain - battery still much worse but you have colour and much better pinch-to-zoom. Writing is also better as well with the screen cover. Ipad screen still has flicker though, so not so great for late night reading.

    Bro, Students won't use it. As they are required an GoodNotes App recommended by majority of Uni's . And actually when you get your book inside that app you can do a writing on the margin. Although search your marks. Bring your elements to identify faster. And many more. If you would compare that App you would understand big gap between ipad and kindle scribe

    It’s definitely not an iPad killer as they do very different things but I’d say it’s beats the iPad hands down for writing on and reading books on (plus PDF documents).

    I use a Microsoft Surface Go 2 with a pen and the Kindle app and I think I can do everything you are trying to do with the scribe and the iPad combined. And it is far cheaper than either of those two. And it runs Windows 11, so I guess it's not distraction free, but I can take one device when I go out of town and can do laptop stuff and e-reader stuff on one device.
    Try it out.

  • @CrimFerret

    For what a well appointed Scribe costs, you could just buy an Ipad 9th gen and Kindle Oasis. There's a reason e-ink displays aren't used for anything that needs to be real time. For me, I use my Kindle for pleasure reading because it's flat out the best device bar none for that. For reading reference or text books, the Ipad rocks. Notes and highlighting are easy and fluid.

    I love my Kindles. I had an IPad at one time but I didn't find it "friendly". I hope you compare the Scribe to the ReMarkble, because I have that also and found the Scribe from your demo to be more like the ReMarkle. Although you can't download the books on the Remarkable, so many of the other features were similar. I like the ReMarkable.

  • @BaritoneUkeBeast4Life

    Just reading the title of this video made me laugh. I didn't even have to watch this video to know that the Kindle Scribe is as much of an iPad killer as it is a PS5 killer, a Nintendo Switch killer, a PC killer, and an Oculus Quest 2 killer. It's a kindle. Repeat a Kindle. I myself love Kindle's and my current model is the newer Paperwhite, but let's be honest here, It may offer some extremely rudimentary or basic writing ability, but it's still 90% a Kindle reader.
    It is like comparing a new landline wireless phone that now has the ability to take low res black and white photos to the newest iPhone Pro Max. Yes it can make phone calls and you can take grainy low res photos with it, but that's it, it's a one trick pony and can't do any of the other 1001 things the iPhone can. There is no comparison vs an iPad. You can however compare it to other e-reader/writers now like the ReMarkable 2.

  • @whenhen
    @whenhen Год назад +6

    I think the biggest problem with the Kindle Scribe is that it's based on whatever operating system Kindle uses, instead of FireOS, Amazon's fork of Android. There are already e-ink tablets which use Android, such as the Boox Tab Ultra, and they are considerably more useful.
    For starters, there are a number of non Amazon reading apps available, including for instance The Economist, New York Times, etc which have Android tablet optimized views, and which interested buyers may want. Additionally, there are far more notes apps available, most of which have EMR stylus support (the tech the Kindle Scribe uses), some of which support customized line and grid widths, and uploading to popular services, including the ones jobs may use. Finally, thanks to being able to support mobile email clients, various cloud sync services, and a standard browser, downloading and syncing of documents is far less of an issue.
    Also on an unrelated note, there are numerous matte screen protectors for the iPad that enable a paper like feel for about $5/ per protector. I have one on my iPad, and it works really well.

  • @commenter4799
    @commenter4799 Год назад +4

    I have an iPad Pro I use for school. I think the issue is that there isn't a perfect note taking app, so I use One Note exclusively. I used to use Apple Notes or whatever came with it, but it wasn't great. I was excited to see this because I get PDFs for guided notes that I import into One Note and write on, but it sucks to write on homework sent in PDF form and print it without a ton of work resizing and such. Still, I'll have to pass on the Scribe. It's just not there yet. I have to agree about the textbooks. If garbage could defecate, you'd get an Engineering textbook.

    You know how some people say “I don’t have a horse in this race?” Well I have both….I have a Kindle and I have the 9 inch iPad 9 you mentioned. I love them both. I won’t get rid of either of them. But two of the problems you mentioned with the iPad can be at least lessened with the same item. You mentioned not being able to read it outside and you mentioned the glass being so smooth that it makes the Pencil feel weird, not like it’s writing on paper. I got a matte screen protector for my iPad. If I turn the brightness all the way up, I can now read just fine with no glossy factor. It also makes the Pencil feel amazingly like it’s writing on paper. I love the iPad now for reading Kindle books….It does out-scribe the Scribe. However, I’ll keep my Kindle because if I’m riding with someone in the car or going to be waiting in a waiting room or going to the gym and reading while on the bike, or going to a friend’s, it’s the better option. (Should have mentioned, my Kindle is the Paperwhite….obviously there is no portability difference if I had the Scribe).

    Actually the keys of a real keyboard are positioned to align badly with your fingers (misaligned rows on e.g. Apple's touch keyboard as opposed to an aligned grid layout on e.g. physical keyboards from Kinesis).

    Its been a LONG time since this review and a ton of updates have come out for the Scribe, so I think this review needs to be done again. Also, it very misleading to take the price of the most expensive scribe, with the most expensive accessories and say "you can buy a good ipad with it.". Thats making the actual device look more expensive than it really is. Especially not including the $100 for the apple pencil towards ipad cost, which doesn't even erase when you flip it. Also worth noting getting the 64 gb Scribe is pointless to spend the extra money on because nobody will even reach half a fraction of it. Another also, Amazon offers 20% off with any kind of trade in. So when not on sale, a Scribe with the premium pen can easily be had for under $300.

    I think they are trying to take remarkable's market. Maybe you can make a video regarding comparisons between kindle scribe and reMarkable 2.

    for me I am very interested in note taking because I am a phD student I prefer to use the ipad because the colors is a very significant issue to me also the speed and the screen, these options are not available in kindle it is just for novel readers or book readers .. this is my humble idea ... thanks

    It’s not an IPad killer. Every “iPad-like” device that Amazon has tried to get out so far has failed miserably. This one is no exception in this regard. It’s a kindle not an iPad. Different use cases

    Lack of OCR is a deal breaker; if I write (& I usually speak or type) I want it to translate into typed text. Also I want the tablet to work like a tablet to the extent that I can long press & do a browser search, which I do constantly (like Cuddles from "The Cleaner" I like documentaries/non-fiction). Here in Aus. I can get the Scribe 2nd hand from a reputable eDevice dealer for $450 aud, and a 1st gen. Surface Go for $155 aud.; e-ink is easy on the eyes & I have a slight vision impairment, so I like lge txt (a 6" screen is frustrating for page turns), but Microsoft has an excellent Kindle experience (ARE the screens different from Android iOS tablets?) & it does everything I want it to do as reader interaction with ease; that does not seem to be the case with the Scribe. So, it's either my HP laptop or a Go; I'd prefer e-ink, but none of the 10" tablet versions seem to be a tenable option.

    IPad killer? I doubt it. Every Amazon device I’ve ever tried has been underpowered and overhyped. Much as I’d love to see Apple have some real competition, I don’t see Amazon being that.

    A very good review covering all aspects of the kindle scribe. I think i would like to buy an updated version of Kindle Oasis. I have an ipad for taking notes but i would like to have a bigger screen for reading books.

    Will Kindle follow the _Subscription Model_ like the Remarkable 2 did ?
    Sure syncing your documents to the cloud was free at first, then you had to pay monthly for it.
    I have a notion that once Amazon has reached a critical mass of users, they will introduce monthly subscription fees.

    I think it’s fairly obvious that an iPad will have a more feature rich experience than a Scribe. But I don’t think that is the right perspective. There are literally millions of people who rely on pure notebooks and pens daily - moleskins, etc. I also don’t think it is fair to compare it to devices like the Remarkable. I believe Amazon is trying to expand the eInk Market and broaden acceptance. This is why the device was criticized for a lack of functionality initially, but then quickly gained that functionality through releases. The focus was on encouraging non-tech users with a gradual introduction of features. Two things you didn’t mention was that the writing experience is vastly superior on the scribe to the iPad, one. And you did not compare pricing to say that oh by the way, the iPad is at least $200 more expensive than a scribe, two. The Kindle is creating a relatively new category, which is a digital device that provides an analog experience. Just as you wouldn’t compare a Kindle to a laptop it’s not appropriate to compare it to an iPad either. For many people, this might not be sufficient but will draw far more users that eInk competitors.

    I don’t think is fair to compare the web browsing experience with an Ipad… like, the Ipad was made for that, kindles are mostly for books and not browsing. Also, residing on Ipad can be very damaging to your eyes. They both can be useful for different things.

    I been using it a lot more than 30 minuts a day at a variety of brightness levels, been a week and haven't needed a charge yet. getting close, i'm at 16%. The cover is super meh. This is for writers, random note takers, and people who handwrite a lot of outlines. Features definitely could be more, even if I wouldn't use them anyway.

    There won’t be anything that comes even close to killing the iPad and for one reason, the apps ecosystem! It’s why I swapped from being an android ambassador for many years into being addicted to idevices, android just has not sorted itself out and until it does it will just be too much hard work.

  • @exturkconner

    I mean the reason it's so expensive is because eink screens lack in economy of scale. And literally this is the only device that's ever used this screen on the market. There's never been another eink screen that was 10" + that was also 300 ppi. They are probably losing money selling this device. The screen alone probably costs 200. Plus the wacom layer, plus the wacom licensing. Plus the other components and the R&D time. This is probably a device that if anyone else released it would be 550 dollars. They are selling it for 340. I'd be willing to bet they are also loosing money on every stylus they sell. Decent Wacom EMR styluses sell for minimally double what they are asking new. I personally wish they actually started with a smaller device using a more standard size screen. I think a 6-7 inch device would be great. But I'm also someone who carried a mini notebook in my back pocket all of the time. But yeah considering the buying power they have and that they already had screens for those sizes just seems to me like they could have knocked something like that out for sub 200 and that would have been a really compelling entry. Then you could start getting bigger and bigger.

    Plus the erase marks last seconds and the OCR on iPad is horrendous I hate that it can’t convert properly without me writing clearly. My iPad is for social media, searching net and games and my scribe is for reading and notes. Using the iPad and kindle app is KILLING your eyes don’t read books on an iPad. I read for 4-5 hours a day and can do this easily on kindle.

    Not sure if you guys are aware of the brand called Boox and they recently released Tab ultra which will be more reasonable to compare with the Scribe and which will make the Scribe even more worse to purchase.
