  • The Scribe is Amazon's first Kindle that supports stylus input and indeed, it offers an excellent reading and writing experience. With this new device, Amazon has managed to not only replicate a pen-and-paper experience, but without the associated limitations like running out of ink. Some of our main issues with the Scribe, particularly its lack of editing tools, are possibly solvable by software updates. Indeed, when we asked Amazon about possible handwriting recognition tools in future, a representative said “While we can’t comment on future roadmap features, we are always listening to customer feedback.” So maybe if we all complain loudly enough, the company will add it.
    The Kindle Scribe’s biggest competition is the Remarkable Tablet, which retails for slightly more than Amazon’s device, though you can find it on sale for less nowadays. It has a slightly larger 10.3-inch screen but comes in noticeably thinner at 4.7mm (or 0.18 inches) thick. ReMarkable offers slightly better syncing and writing software than Amazon, but it pales in comparison to the Kindle as an e-reader.
    Artists, designers and serious note-takers also probably want to look elsewhere for a more sophisticated drawing and annotating solution - the iPad and Apple Pencil might be your best bet. But as a combo of an e-reader that can also serve as a basic digital notepad, the Kindle Scribe is surprisingly satisfying.
    Pros:
    Smooth and natural writing experience
    Premium thin and light design
    Roomy canvas for reading and writing
    Cons:
    No handwriting-to-text conversion, Not water resistant
    Engadget Score: 85
