The Kindle Scribe is a Game Changer! Not What I Expected!

If you're looking for a device that functions as an e-reader and an e-note; the Kindle Scribe is a game changer! In this review, I'm sharing with you my experience using the Kindle Scribe and how it has improved my mental health and productivity. I have been blown away.

I was sceptical at first, but after trying out the Kindle Scribe myself I can honestly say that it's a game-changer! The other reviews I read, made me think this might not be a good experience. Im glad I wasn't put off completely. The Kindle Scribe is perfect for people who need to take notes while they read, but don't want to carry around a physical notepad, But it's as a standalone digital notepad that the Scribe really excels.

I highly recommend the Kindle Scribe if you're looking for a distraction-free device with the best reading experience on the market paired with a quickly growing toolset for writing.

Have you tried an E ink notepad yet? I had no idea how much I would enjoy it.

This is the best video I've seen on using this device in every scenario, too many assume it's only useful for someone who needs to take notes but there are many with poor eyesight or who just want more words on a page at once. Thank you, very helpful.

I feel the same about marking up physical books. It feels sacrilegious to mark up the pages.

Received one for Christmas from my son and I’m in love. Thank you for the awesome video and Happy New Year 🎊🎈

I got an iPad a year ago, and although I started by using it for a huge variety of things (games, YouTube, internet, email, etc.) over that year I've narrowed down its uses and today only really use it as a notebook and sketchbook. Both of these functions would be better on e-ink, and having an iPad feels like a waste for such few functions that I use out of it. The Scribe seems like a good solution for me (as my current Kindle is getting long in the tooth) and the recent software updates are great, but why I haven't yet made the switch is the drawing experience: Layers and PNG export. If they could do layers (even limited) and could export sketches as anything other than a PDF, I'd sell my iPad and grab the Scribe right away.

This review of the Scribe was so positive I have ordered the one that is being released on the 2nd of December 24. Thanks, Sam. You are a great motivator.

Thank you, Samuel. Received mine recently and really love it. One other element that is on the Scribe is landscape reading in two columns, which I imagine is on other similar devices, but not sure. It is not on other kindles. However, those other actual kindles (not the kindle app) have the option to adjust the layout to very narrow margins with about a 2" wide reading column. The app (such as one you might use on an iPad) cannot be set to AS narrow a margin even at its most extreme setting. The advantage of having a really narrow margin on non-Scribe Kindles or reading in landscape mode with two columns on the Scribe is that we read faster with narrow columns--your eyes don't have to move across the "page" as far. You can read faster and so you can read more with that setup!

I just ordered mine with a Thanksgiving special - after trading in my old one and -20% plus special all came out to $191 with a basic pen. Can't wait to put my hands on it :) Good video, mate!

I’ve had my Scribe for about two weeks. I thought when I saw/researched other kindles, that I might go to the Remarkable 2, or the Bigme tab; however, after carefully listening to the Techs describe the Scribe vs the other Kindles, I’ve decided that the Scribe is the right tab for me. The one feature, among others, I enjoy about the Scribe is the built in keyboard. It allows me to type info. that I need without having to attach an external keyboard, which is very convenient.

I’d like to see two features added to the Scribe, and those features are: 1. Color, and 2. More memory, 128gb., this would really make the Scribe more fantastic than it already is.

Thx for this video. Very informative!😀

[kimmysander]

Been using my scribe for a year now, taking it with me everywhere and using it all day. Love it.

[Terriersforever]

I love the big screen for reading on, love mine.

[SheriCarthan-MinistryHelp]

Great review! You’re the first one to say that the basic pen will do well!

[MrLardyOne]

Top review, very informative. I love my Kindle Scribe and this review rocked all the boxes to reassure me that I hadn’t Wasted my hard earned cash. Thanks!!

[JasonByers]

This is my favorite review of the Scribe. Well done!!

[CherylandJoe.-TheFam]

I cannot wait to get my new kindle scribe 2024 I love reading and jot down messages and notes.

[TheyStoleMyHandleAgain]

I had been waiting for something like a paperwhite, but with a ten-inch screen (I need the bigger size to read clearly) and I will probably try this one. 😊

[steverolfeca]

While investigating the various options, I learned about Calibre. Huge improvement in my e-reading in general, and another reason to go to a larger display. Found out just in time to take advantage of the latest bundle discounts. My Scribe arrives today!

[Matthias_Wagner]

Lasso has been implemented already.
