A couple notes - some of the pens (such as the Staedler and Generic stylus) won't fit inside the pen holder of the case I have. Outside of that, it looks like the Kindle is still a) on sale and b) actually will deliver before Christmas! Link here: geni.us/n7yW. Thanks everyone for all your support! Have a Merry Christmas!
could you compare this to a kobo color? great video!!!!
Solid and detailed review. Best one I’ve seen on the Scribe. I especially appreciate the breakdown of the different size comparisons of the scribe vs other tablets, along with pen options. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my....welcome back! We've missed you!
Thank you! Good to be back
I can't believe it. Not 2 hours ago I bought the Kindle Scribe on sale from Amazon and then your video shows up in my RUclips feed. Spooky. Wait, it gets spookier.I was seriously considering canceling the order. (The sale price of $300 is still a lot of money.) Watching your video alleviated the fear that I had made a bad decision. Thanks!
300 is a lot. It went on sale last black friday for like $230 and a little over $200 refurbished
@@ch3ckm8it cost 450 in my country xd
This was the most useful review ever! Knowing that I can’t compare side by side or the sticky notes are dealbreakers. Thank you!!
Congrats on 100k, and welcome back! :)
Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes!!! Great to see you back man. Hope you’re doing well.
Thanks man! 👏
mine just arrived today--this was very helpful--thank you!!
Pretty comprehensive review, thanks. I am just new to using e writing tablets, I just received my K Scribe a week and a half ago and love it.
This does most of what I was hoping for, just reading and taking notes pretty much. The one disappointment I do have, which you mentioned is not being able to open more than one notebook or ebook at one time. This would be a huge improvement from my perspective as I desire to take a lot of notes while reading a book or even being able to copy notes from one notebook to another at times. I know the sticky notes are great, but it would be greatly beneficial to be able to sketch a few visible notes here and there on the page. I hope future upgrades will cover this off. Apart from that, this thing is worth every penny, I think. There really isn't anything else out there for this kind of money and have these features. Thanks for your review.
Welcome back, Harris! I've missed your quality videos. Hope you are doing well!
Thank you! Hope things are well for you too!
Harris. Lovely to see you back. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Thanks for the support and happy new year!
I agree with you about the form factor of the Scribe. I was surprised that none of the review videos ever mentioned it! There is such a thing as a device being too thin, surprisingly enough. It just makes holding and writing on it very awkward unless you have a case. I hope future generations have the thickness and backing material that the Kindle Paperwhite has - then it will be absolutely perfect.
It’s good you are back!
Thank you! 👏
Bro, nice hat. Thanks for the advertising. Hope all is well. As for the review, I still love the old school method of holding a paperback or hardcover book.
Interesting review of the kindle scribe considering that you're an ipad guy.
Its good to see someone appreciate this device despite of its very limited capabilities. It really is a digital minimalist device
Definitely, it's refreshing to use!
Nice to see you again
He's back ! Yay !
Hey brother, good too see a video from you, have a good holiday.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Thanks for your informative video. I have a couple of questions. First, is it possible to upload books (Pdf and Epub) that I did buy to Kindle Scribe? Second, can I copy a text from Pdf or E book to my notes?
I enjoy it for multiple reasons, many of which you’ve listed. I do prefer to have color highlighters of which this doesn’t have. It’s kind of frustrating for me to annotate pdfs on for this reason. And this was the main reason I purchased this device.
Good Lord it's been a long time!
Thanks for this
Hi harris.. is kindle scribe friendly for left handed user? but looking at your review seem like very friendly used for both side hand
Is there a way that you can email a copy of your notes or does it have to stay on the device?
Good review!!
great vid
Hey. Welcome back. I actually miss you.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
He's back! Hope all is well.
Thank you! 👏
As a someone who studies philosophy, the problem I really had with kindle scribe is that u literally cannot open longs pdf with images (I mean scanned books) and that's really a shame.
My first time on your channel and really enjoyed the video. Great content and production quality. I purchased a Kindle scribe on sale for 240 bucks, which I think is quite fair for the device!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the support and I hope you enjoy the Scribe!
Harris Craycraft Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
Do we have to change the tip on the Staedler like the one on the amazon pen?
Got a Amazon Fire 8. Love it.
How’s the “Beat up Martin” test?
I totally understand why they didn't make it so that you could write "On" a regular kindle book. Because, allot of people switch devices (with Wispersync), so when you go to a device with a different text flow.... the marking/note would misalign with the text.
I replaced the iPad with Kindle Scribe, and I felt 80%satisfied. My needs are very clear: reading, taking notes. The deficiencies are not enough optimization of PDF, not comfortable reading the literature.
Does it sync notes across devices, i.e. from the Scribe to your phone app, etc.? You can only write it marginalia on some texts, correct?
I have been thinking about start using a smart notebook but my handwriting is very small... Any consideration about this issue?
I don't find it good for my purposes, but hopefully they fix it. I work with large pdfs and need to be able to mark them up, take notes etc. You can upload them in kindle format or keep the native pdf format, but either format has some serious limitations. I have an the first gen. remarkable too, and don't like it because no back lit display.
Hope you have been well brother
hey, can you flip pages when you've written notes on this ? So if Ive got 5 pages of notes, can it flip to the next note page with a click of a button ?
very nice ❤
Thx for the tip! I have an s pen from my fold 4. :) just got the sale for 239 on amazon. Could make a vid on it... cheers!
Does it fit a standard full page of two-column research article paper?
Can you print the notes/journals you write?
Max uoload file size is 200MB ! So not able read pdfs above 200mb. Without sd card, all personal pdfs must be uploaded ... only personal drive is 5 Gb for those documents?
WE’RE BACK
What do you think of Kindle Scribe at $240 with premium pen? They are having a pretty big sale right now. I was thinking of getting one.
Great deal.
Hey Harris. First time on your channel due to the Kindle Scribe. Man hope I will get answer from you or anybody else who has a Scribe and can compare with my experience. I got a problem of the display on the right edge of the screen (anywhere between 5 - 0mm) not registering properly the pen interaction - like writing in those areas or tapping on the toolbar. There is definite difference with how the screen recognises the pen strokes on the left edge of the screen, where works with no problem. So in order to get the right edge work properly I am forced to apply more pressure on the display with the pen. Kinda gets really annoying when you use the toolbar a lot or you see your pen skipping. The problem was worse in the third party case where probably the magnets messed things up even more. But even outside the case the problem persists, albeit in a smaller degree. Could you guys please check how its on your Scribes?
Are you using a 3rd party cover? I noticed an issue with the magnets on a third party cover similar to what you're describing. In the end I went back to the Amazon cover.
I don't have any issues with the right edge of my device, so perhaps it's a hardware issue. Have you tried moving the toolbar to the left side of the screen?
Hey, i've got the same problem with my Kindle scribe. Have you found a solution to fix this problem?
I love ❤️ the way you edit ✍🏾 your videos I love 💗 watching your videos I’m your biggest fan you make awesome 🤩 😎 👏🏾 videos
Thanks!
I really tried to like this scribe, but, it’s too limited for me. The iPad really solves all of my issues…it’s color, I can split the screen to have a book on one side, Goodnotes on the other. I was disappointed.
We have the same van Gogh case 😮
Hi can you send the link for your Kindle case (the starry night one) (I live in india so said specific case isn't available)
you should review the remarkable!
yeah...maybe one of these days!
What storage did you get? Do you think it is enough for you?
I got the base storage, which is fine for me
what about the screen ? I use wacom tablets and a pen, and over time as I've been using the tablet got scratched. And as far as I knowm the screen is using a plastic surface. How about the durability while using the pen?
the surface is near identical to a wacom tablet. Don't use harder tips than the original
@@idontwantcorporateretaliat6301 I use the original ones yet got scratched of daily use. If that so is normal and natural that this screen will have this issue, too. Can it be used with some glass protection ( for the screen )
Do you have a suggestion: I am brand new to the IPad (10th Generation). I'm looking for an App (I guess) that would be good for making up documents, like one would proof-read a paper. I nomrally would use Word, print out my sermon, then work through it with a pen. I'd like to do that with an Ipad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I use GoodNotes on my iPad, which can import pdf files for markup and has a pretty good writing experience (for an iPad). I also have Documents by Readdle, which was free for the basic functionality and has some good file-management features. You can print or export your sermon to pdf and then markup in either of these apps (or others).
@@stephaneenglish4661 Thank you!
Thank U for your video do I have to put paperlike on tne kindlescibe to a better writing experience ?
Nope
Thank U ☺@@HarrisCraycraft
"Is there a function to view PDF pages in full?"
I put a popsocket on the back of mine which has a clear case on it, the socket is on the case not my actual device for holding it. It is bigger than the typical e-reader but, I use for work notes and to have a book access for when I want to read.
Ah, nice solution for holding it!
Nice ‘stache my guy!
Thanks!
how do you add send to kindle to your amazon bar
Go to www.amazon.com/sendtokindle and then add a bookmark, which looks different depending on the web browser
Please lower the background music. It s too loud
I like the hat.
It is very hard to hold, I had to use the case as well.
Yep...which case did you get?
I bought it. I hate it. Nobody is mentioning an importatnt 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.
Does anybody know of a small device? That is great for Microsoft Word. And I mean, downloading Microsoft Word instead of using it online? All I want is to write. That's it? I don't wanna watch videos. I don't wanna play video games. I thought this would be good, but the problem is my writing sucks and if it doesn't turn my hand writing into something I can read this isn't what I want.
I truly do appreciate you. Making this because it did help me tremendously. To stay away from this which is too bad. I hate that my writing sucks so bad
i set the side button to be the eraser, painful without it
I don't like it is too square-ish, a little bit larger would be great
One thing I have yet to see covered in a review with the Scribe. I know you can use the software to transfer documents to the Scribe for mark up, but what about transferring hand written notes from a meeting to your computer (not using any document mark up)? Does it convert your notes to text or is an image?
You can convert handwriting to text or you can export your notes to your computer (I believe as a pdf)
FACIAL HAIIIRRRRRR!!!!!!!!???????? Where have I been!?
Everytime you come back you look older which makes me feel old 😭
😬😬
The price on this thing and the remarkable 2 make absolutely no sense. They use mobile tech from 2011 with a e-ink screen that can't be "that" expenisve. So why do these things cost an arm and a leg? A remarkable costs more than my 4k 240hz, mini led (over 1100 dimming zones),32" monitor. That just makes no fkn sense to me. A remarkable costs as much as a mid tier phone or a cheaper desktop.
It's e-ink which isn't that expensive of a technology. With hardware froim 2011 or something. They can't even bother to give the devices hardware that's smooth enough for the menu to be super responsive and more capable.
Absolutely won’t ever buy a kindle. Awesome video though 🦅
Oh hey, thanks John!
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
You look like country Justin Timberlake
We all don't want the same thing's
tru
without eraser is not only worthless, itis damaging on your time, enegy and peace of mind because it is a writing tablet, ypu will need to erase something after some time. what would you do instead. cross line everything you wrote and you would erase otherwise? that pen will eventally end up in the garbage bin, believe me and it will happen wayyyyy before it's end of life product... or repleaceble tip
oh
I believe there's an erase button that changes the function of the stylus into an eraser.
Dude is dressed like a lumberjack, but having a hard time lifting up a kindel.
Nice
This is a garbage device. Buggy as heck and customer service from Amazon is useless.
A little too whiny for my taste. I doubt any product meets his loft standards
come on my friend! what you gonna do with camera?!!!!
don't make videos like this. if you want to use camera go use your phone!!!
this way you guys will ruine a great product for sake of marketing!!
hm, but why woldnt i go for the ipad then?
