If only they can give us an update of a split screen between reading and writing at the same time...
That would be amazing too! 👏🏻👏🏻
My favorite is the older, smaller Oasis. I like to hold it on one hand and turn pages with the buttons.
I've had a scribe for a month. I'm in grad school and I primarily use it to read and mark up Pdfs for my classes, so that I'm not tied to my laptop. It was a cheaper option than an ipad. For reading, I honestly prefer the paperwhite. The size of the Scribe is appealing to me, but in realistic use, I feel like I read faster on a smaller device. Like you, I use it mostly at home.
Good morning MJ! I have had the Scribe since last July and I absolutely love it! I have been reading more than I ever have since getting this device and I don't expect you to remember, but it was one of your initial reviews of the Scribe that convinced me to get the device, and it was also the first time I had seen your channel, so I then subSCRIBEd to your channel. Thank you for that review and I am so happy to hear that you continue to love it. I use the note-taking every day extensively as well. My hope is, that in future models, Amazon will include a split-screen feature that would allow us to read a book while taking notes, be able to drag and drop a portion of text into a notebook, etc. I would love a color version of this device as well. Of course, I have been seriously considering the Onyx Boox Note Air 3 C for these reasons, but I will always love the Scribe! Have a great day MJ!
Of course I remember! Thanks for sharing, Lou. ☺️ I was just thinking how nice it would be to enjoy the book covers in color. I have seen the Boox and resisting temptation. Have a great day too! 😊
@@M-J Wow, I am SO honored that you remember, MJ! Thank you!! Perhaps one day we can share our wonderful experiences with the Note Air 3 C!! 😄😄
📚📚
I have the scribe for home use and a Boox Palma for on the go reading. Really like them both and they both have different functions.
I love this the kindle! Thank you for sharing!
Sorry, I’m a devout Paperwhite girl. It fits in my bag or my pocket very easily and I can stash it next to my computer at work and discreetly read between customers. I’ve been curious about the Scribe due to the note taking feature til I remember that I don’t annotate or take notes 😂
I thought the same thing, until I tried it. 😂😂
I'd like to get one of these e-book things, for reading in foreign languages, because I think it might be easier to get books electronically. (It's been hard as hell to figure out how to get Swedish books-many companies in Sweden don't ship overseas. I'm also a beginner in Japanese and I think it would be cool to read actual manga in the Japanese language on an e-reader). I just wish it wasn't so expensive!
I will say libraries have come a long way mostly in major cities for having manga and e-books in many other languages. A great way to experience what you want without the heavy cost. Check for sales and refurbished e-readers are usually discounted heavily. Good luck!
@@M-J Thank you!
After debating about purchasing it for over a year, I pulled the trigger today. Love hearing a review like yours to make me feel better about my purchase. If I remember, I'll come back here in a month and give you my initial thoughts.
Welcome to the Scribe Tribe! I still use mine everyday! That case is amazing for the price and all my stickers are still intact! Be sure to check out my other scribe videos if you haven’t done so. I can’t wait to hear back!
I bought mine in March. I absolutely still love it though I rarely use the pen writing features.
Sarah Connor?! :D Thank you for this review!
That is a compliment of the highest order! Thanks! 😊
It's an anniversary party! Glad you're still using it. Tech is sometimes funny that way. Do you find yourself making more notes in your books the longer you've had the Scribe?
Notes on books in the scribe, yes. Notes on physical books? Not really. 🤷🏻♀️
My problem with Scribe is the prohibitive cost and the lack of storage space. My cellphone is a third of the size and can hold 2TB of stuff. The biggest storage I've ever seen on the scribe is 64 GB. I like to have more room than I could possibly need, especially on a device that costs about as much as a new gaming console lol
There is no lie on the cost! I have 32GB scribe and have a TON of room! I haven’t even scratched the surface yet and I’ve had it for over a year. 🤷🏻♀️
Well that’s not a true comparison, an e-reader vs a phone. That’s like me comparing your meager 256g phone to my 32 terabyte NAS.
I have the scribe and I love it!!
Excellent!!I was actually just drawing on it! I love the capability. ☺️
I have been a Kindle fan for 12 and a half years now and I have the Oasis and basic. I can't justify getting a Scribe as you can annotate to a degree with the Oasis but I would love to have the functionality to do that in my own handwriting. I will just keep saving and when eventually neither of the ones I do have will hold a charge for more than a few hours I will look to replace then xx
I bought it. I hate it. Nobody is mentioning an important thing: everytime I 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. You can't search inside the book or flip through it. It's a disaster.
It does do that! I’m probably used to it so it really doesn’t bother me. You can send it back if in the 30 day window. I’m sure Amazon will appreciate your feedback. Please be sure to tell them.
@@M-J yes I told them. I am seriously thinking put the kindle scribe in trash can.
@@mcorrlo08 Well, I’d try to sell it and get some of your money back. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.
I love my scribe. I need the bigger screen and the note taking is perfect for me.
I’m so glad you are enjoying it!
I like the idea of the Scribe but i dont NEED it. I know I'll never use the writing functionality. Its the size that is appealing.
I can add so many jokes right here! 😂
@@M-J I walked right into that one
I love my scribe. It’s for sure my at home only device or if I’m going to the office. I use it for work for my work planner and notes. I don’t use my iPad at all and have been thinking I might sell that.
Yaaaaaaaaas! Scribe Tribe! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I write reviews of the books that I read so I like to take notes as I read to help me write up my review for posting later. Can I write in the margins? Can I send final review to Goodreads or Amazon? How many books can it store in its library? Is this scribe a good option for my specific needs? Sorry for all the questions but finding it hard to get a device to suit those specific needs…is there such a device? Thanks for any suggestions.
Hello! 👋🏻
Okay,
- yes, you can write anywhere there is space, margins, on the text, etc.
-No. It’s a Kobo device and not linked to Amazon.
It can store a lot, 32G
The Scribe is great for what you need, but I will say of the hold out for the next gen of it. It’s almost been 2 years.
I hope that helped!
As of now I don't think I am in the market for the scribe. I have 4 Kindles of varying times and am satisfied thus far.
That’s what everyone said (including me) - but here we are. 😂 I’m just saying, if you feel like giving it a try - it’s worth it.
I live in Mexico where getting a scribe is still not possible. Don't know why Amazon is not selling them here yet. I got it brought in from the USA. It worked right out of the box. I got is because I already am into the kindle life. As a language teacher I wanted some thing to help me with my lesson plans. I type them up in MS Word and then export them directly from word to my account. Then download it to my kindle. Works every time. Takes about a minute for it to appear but it works every single time.
That blows my mind it’s not available in Mexico. I am so glad you were able to purchase one and it’s been so helpful to you! Great to hear!
I'm personally intrigued by the Tab Ultra C by Boox. Same size, but with color and Android. 🙂
Me too! I wonder if the next generation Scribe would compete with color 🤔
I’ve been thinking about that as well.
Can you tell me what case that is please?
Hello 👋🏻 Why, certainly! Link is below. I still have it on and my stickers remain intact. 😂 I just saw a 20% off coupon too. Hope you enjoy it! - MJ

Love the scribe. Tend to write my notes, more than typing my notes. How about everyone else?
Yes! I am a huge fan of handwriting my notes.
