Amazon Kindle Scribe vs ReMarkable 2 | Which should you buy?

At its product launch event in Autumn 2022, Amazon launched a new kind of Kindle. It's called the Kindle Scribe, and its Amazon's first E Ink paper tablet. It's not the first to market though. ReMarkable has made a name for itself here, so how does Amazon's attempt compare with the ReMarkable 2? Cam compares the two in this video.

I love that on the remarkable, i can annotate everywhere in an epub, and don‘t have to bother with sticky notes

[IAmIndraTheGod]

With the latest kindle scribe software update you can now convert your notes to text

Thank you for showing while you are telling! You did this in a way and at a pace that was helpful for me! I've been looking at different reviews and your review has been the best. Thank you!

Very good review. I agree that the Remarkable 2 is more of a notebook while the Kindle Scribe is an awesome eReader and the best reading experience. I have both so will use them according to my needs.

I’m stunned that such an obvious feature as being able to use word documents is not possible on a remarkable. That is such a dealbreaker to me!! You always have to convert to pdf, then takes notes, which creates a layer on top, create a new pdf, save it in the cloud, and finally upload a new pdf file on your laptop. My goodness… such a drag.
I guess there is just still not a great solution to this problem, but at least on a kindle you can work in a word-format AND you can actually read ebooks and big pdf-files. I would definitely choose a kindle scribe over a remarkable.

What a brilliant, to-the-point review, Cam. Well done.

[TonyPep]

Should have added a Supernote a5x to the comparison - I think that has the best writing experience

Remarkable for writing. Kindle for reading

[starbrand]

I was completely leaning towards the Kindle but...with no handwriting conversion, now I have to go Remarkable.

My first time on your channel. Great video and content. Love the name "Pocket-lint" too, very clever and original!

[Mantikal]

For those who like drawing - the Remarkable also lets you export in Vector image file formats (in addition to Raster) so you can scale up your drawings without any loss in detail.

I just purchased a scribe for $20 from my jobs reward catalog and can't wait to get it.

Thanks for this review. I'm considering buying the Kindle Scribe. I guess the second version would be even better. So, I will wait it out.

I'm planning on getting the scribe for study/ reading

[pmcesh]

I have both but use the remarkable everyday for work. Kindle more for reading but hopefully Amazon will add more writing features to make it a work solution for me.

0:53 - what is that a drawing of on the top left of the remarkable 2?

Just bought a scribe yesterday and can't wait

There were some awesome updates for the Scribe from Amazon earlier on, but the past 5 months it's almost nothing, it seems like Amazon have abandoned Scribe users :( - at least they pop up on sale for unbeatable prices that are less than half of what reMarkable 2 costs, personally I bought both.

The Scribe is MUCH faster for opening / annotating PDFs, it has a backlight so is better as a journal at night if you don't want to turn lights on. The reMarkable has things that the Scribe really should have, ability to move pages between PDFs, ability to delete/duplicate pages, ability to tag pages, etc. It's a shame as the Scribe is such a great piece of hardware, 300PPI, magnetic wake/sleep, backlight, etc, all of which the reMarkable lacks.

How about neither? What about the new Lenovo?
