The writing looks so smooth 😌
Thank you ..your review is thorough ..and very useful..
I wanted more information…and have an older kindle to trade . The kindle scribe is exciting and exactly what I desired ..really desired ! ..so order goes in today !
Thanks for clarifying a few features in detail for me ahead of getting mine tomorrow. I opted for the Black Leather Magnetic Case and Pro Pen and 64gb model so i never run out of space at all.
Great idea to be future proof! Congrats on the purchase
Fantastic review. Thank you.
I was debating with myself between the Scribe and the Remarkable 2, and based on this review, I think that the Scribe seems like the way to go for my usages. I tried the Remarkable at a store, and it's really nice, but I do read a lot, and the Scribe seems to be a better option to replace my PaperWhite.
keep up the good work James Shin
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thanks for the awesome review! I’m a south paw. Is there a way to flip the screen so I could hold the screen-less portion with my right hand and write with my left?
great review thx
Thanks!
A big fault with the current Kindle software is not being able to actually remove a book from the home page back to the library, and not have it showing on the home page. This can be done on the Kindle App for the iPhone & iPad. I don't like all the clutter of books I have purchased but not read on the home page screens of my actual Kindle and Scribe.
This is a really informative video! Just curious, can you doodle over PDFs? I have scanned textbooks that I want to write over for my classes and as much as I love e-ink tablets, I'm deciding between getting a Scribe or a mini ipad with a stylus. This is complicated by the release of the Kobo Libra Colour which I believe lets you doodle over books.
You can’t doodle or write freely over PDFs, very limited to a few PDFs that you can on. You can take notes but it’ll be saved separately in “notes”
Hi and thanks for the video. I have a question about one very specific circumstance. I often receive emails from people asking me to mark up the content or if it is ok, to sign the content. Is it easy to send things that are emailed to me to the kindle scribe, mark up the document, sign it, and send it back to a certain email?
worth it? yesss
Thank you
Can you integrate images with your journals? Maybe photos from your phone via that USB-C?
ty James. You should sign up for Amazon affiliate program and link to it in video desc
Thanks for the suggestion, going to look into it now!
Can you 180 this device for left handed users?
How is this compared to the remarkable? Pricing factors too
I want for strictly note taking. But moving from my many note books I would like to see the ability for e-ink to meta tag so that I can search terms yrs down the road. What I heard you say is that there is folder & sub folders. Is there any further file management in the meta tag way?
Just folders and sub folders for now, it would be nice to have the ability to create and search for tags on the Scribe!
super note devices has this feature
One person said u can see ur notes online without the scribe with you.
There are so many devices that it's impossible to know which one to buy, maybe a Kindle will be my first e-reader, I only need it to write notes and for reading.
I agree, there are so many options out there. If you need it for mainly reading (especially Kindle books) and just some notes, I'd definitely recommend the Scribe!
What’s the difference between Kindle Scribe vs Remarkable 2 vs BOOX Note Air3 Series?
My usage is to taking notes from whatever I’m learning for that I usually to do it by writing down the learning and making my owns notes that can be available anytime and anywhere to read it again.
Hello. my daughter has a kindle scribe and iwant to get one too. Do you know that f we share the same amazon account our notes will also be shared? I know the books will be shared but I do not know about the notes. Thanks
Hi! The notes won’t be shared between different Scribes even with the same Amazon account as the notes are saved locally on the device, hope that helps!
It´s an amazing device and the best e reader I've owned, but it is extremely fragile. One accidental drop and the screen is gone. Amazon refuses to repair it even if you pay for it. I am back to my Paperrwhite 2013, which has suffered many falls and it´s still working as if it was still 2013. The problem is now the screen looks miniscule, I am thinking on buying a Inkpad Lite. No more kindles for me, terrible customer service.
Is it possible to skip pages on pdfs on the kindle scribe as you can do for e books?
Yes you can!
Maybe I keep missing this. If you handwrite a note on the Scribe, does it show up on the paperwhite?
It will not show up on paperwhite as of right now
How does it FEEL writing on this. Is it like the Surface line of plastic nibs on glass or does it feel somewhat like the tactile of writing on paper?
Definitely not plastic nibs on glass but also not exactly like paper. I’d say somewhere in the middle! It’s tactile and even makes scratching sound when writing
My purpose is to study. (Math, science, and so on) for note taking in lectures/class. is it worth to buy kindle for that purpose or should I go with remarkable?
I think if it’s mainly for note taking only, I’d look into remarkable but Scribe isn’t a bad choice either
@@jamesleeshin i think i will go with scribe.. thank you.
Why not buy a small Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis for outdoor portability and reduced risks of financial damage if you drop or scratched the screen? Take notes via iPhone voice memo. Then go home and use e-handwrite on Remarkable 2?
I like your idea of taking notes via iPhone and having portability of a Kindle paperwhite would provide. You just helped me make my choice. Thank you!👌🏽
One question is possible to read 10 k form, they are in pdf format
If they’re in a PDF format, you should be able to!
Does it fit a standard full page of two-column research article paper?
Yes
is this the Amazon Scribe 2022 E-reader ??
I can only find this one online
Sounds right but I’m not 100% sure, it should be “Amazon Kindle Scribe”
Is there a newer version coming up in 2024?
I’m not aware of any updates coming to the Kindle Scribe in 2024, I think it’s still a good time to pick one up if you’re looking!
How annoying if you're left handed though!
Amazon, you see if you make the sides flat the pen will stick much better + it will be more comfortable holding it. Please get rid of curved sides, please. Straight sides with nice prominent corners that make you feel you're actually holding something.
The big thing about the Remarkable 2 as well it has no backlight!
Ah yes! Having backlight is most definitely a plus 👀
I can't believe for the amount the Remarkable costs it doesn't
He’s so handsome
not left-handed friendly :(
What’s it like for sketching,
It's definitely not a sketching tablet
Great for sketching. However the device can slow down if the sketch has alot of detail or the file has more than 20 pages.
I’m not a big sketcher or drawer but from my experience, it’s pretty great for simple sketching
I don’t understand the comment - “the screen can get very bright if needed in the daylight.” Bright daylight is the time that you don’t need any screen light at all.
Absolutely, I appreciate your focus on this. The point is, similar to needing less light in the dark, a bright screen in daylight enhances visibility, ensuring a clear view even under the sun!
@@jamesleeshinyeah, this is where backlight and nits of device is important.
Lmao, what? Not too bright.
No, it’s the opposite of what you’re saying.
This is an electronic device. It’s not a physical book.
So, with it being an electronic device, yes, you need less back lighting at night time and more back lighting in daytime.
@@hmtrimworks7148Not true. It’s an E-Ink Display.
With enough ambient light (sunlight for example) you can turn the backlight completely off and can read perfectly.
If you used E-Ink devices before you should know that
I bought the Scribe. Completely not worth it tbh. Its actually laughably crappy compared to other E-Ink/tableds. How a company like Amazong gets away with making subpar products is BEYOND me. 😮
what other alternative is there? Remarkable2 has bad ereader
Can you elaborate?
@@dondrechsel7384 I wish the Scribe had more functionalities like the Kindle app. Even a feature that can satisfy both version of the Kindle 'app' the simple Kindle OS and the Kindle App on phone. On the scribe if I wanted to share a quote with my bookclub....I have to hit "share" and send as an...umm...email? Like....what? Lol I don't know. It seems like it should do MORE. The software is just soooo lacking.
You sound paid by the competition. 😂
@@The_Dude02 how so? I wish they paid me 😛. I just want to be able to do A LOT more with my reading device. The Kindle app does a ton more then the actual kindle devices with it comes to sharing it. How I wish I can just share quotes or paragraphs with freinds. Or write on pdfs and it not be a slow process. Etc. And I have two kindles. The paperwhite (waterproof one) and the scribe. And bought two extras for my mom and sister. E-ink devices need to be BETTER. Period.
