Amazon Kindle Scribe (16 GB) – Redesigned display with uniform borders. Now write directly on books and documents. With built-in notebook summarisation. Includes Premium Pen – Tungsten GreyRecycled Content Certification for Electrical and Electronic Equipment

This kindle scribe (2024) is excellent for what I wanted it for.I used it mostly for the notebook, which I use as a log book for things like music album collections, family birthdays, my personal details.Also I keep copies of documents in PDF format, like my birth certificate, TV licence, and also manuals of things I own (like printer, laptop, and other things).Also there are some puzzle books which are for the kindle scribe, which are available from kindle store, (I like the sudoku). I also use it like a normal kindle to read books.At the moment I have had this kindle scribe nearly 2 weeks, and use it everyday, and I haven't recharged it yet, so the battery is very good. It is one of the best items I bought so far this yearI just wish that I could have printed the notebooks straight from the scribe. (You can email the notebooks to yourself and then print them out).If anyone asked me if I recommend the scribe, I would say, yes definitely.And it does have the AI feature in the UK

There are a lot of people out there with very high expectations for this product, but for the price (particularly if you buy it on an Amazon sale day), it's pretty good. It allows me to take notes in all my business meetings and creates some order where i used to write everything in different paper notebooks and then later, struggle to find what i'd written. Notes are not sync'd to Outlook or anything other than to the Kindle Cloud (you have to email notebooks to yourself, which is clunky), but to be honest I rarely need to see notes on anything other than my Scribe, so I'm not too worried about that. The battery life is weeks, even with heavy use, the device is light, easy to use, and easy to read, the pen doesn't keep running out charge (like the Apple Pen), the handwriting recognition works fine, it feels like I'm writing on paper, and it doesn't have any distracting apps to grab my attention, not even email (unlike an iPad). Its limitations, for me, are its strengths. I can write, or read, and that's it. The Remarkable is supposedly slightly better, and has integration with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive, but for me it's not worth paying £200 more for, particularly as it doesn't give you access to your Kindle library. So yeah, I love it. But that's just me.

Hard to believe, so I though I'd pop the photo in. It's not a great deal smaller, but the font used in the store (I'm talking about your homepage, as a store is what it is right) is actually smaller than on my current kindle (the cheapest and smallest one)! Unusably small for me unless I reach for reading glasses... but that's why I paid all the cash for the big screen: so that I didn't need reading glasses.The handwriting recognition is not so good. I think it must be tuned for people who don't use cursive, as it constantly thinks my 'f's are 't's; it ignores the tails of the f's, you see, and thinks they're t's instead. The cloud AI needs a lot of work; I've seen much much better.In person, I think the white border is ugly, and dark mode looks just silly with a white surround.My screen is already broken! It went wrong after one hour, and now it has a horizontal line running across it - and yes I've reset it all the way to factory; the line is there even when off.This device is not a keeper for me. I'll be back to check out the next generation.

Kindle Oasis vs Kindle Scribe 2When it comes to reading, I still prefer my “old” Kindle Oasis. The screen is noticeably brighter, and overall I feel more comfortable using it — though that might just be me. The numbers don’t match and the Warm 11 (Oasis) had to be Warm 9 (on Scrib).I do like the big screen on the Scribe, but it feels a little too big. I find myself being extra careful with it, as it seems more fragile.A couple of things worth noting:• The responsiveness is disappointing. It takes quite a while to react, and I’m genuinely surprised that a device in this day and age can still be this slow. It’s about the same speed as my old Kindle, so you’ll need a bit of patience.• You can write sticky notes and do some handwriting, which I find useful — but there’s no voice dictation, and handwriting isn’t fast or fluid enough for speed writing. It can get annoying.My opinion:I think it’s better to wait for an improved version. As it stands, it doesn’t justify the price. It feels like a good attempt, but Amazon can definitely do better. I hope Jeff Bezos reads this feedback — there’s lots of room for improvement, and right now, the cost just doesn’t make sense.I hope this helps you decide. If you’re looking for a device purely for reading, you might want to hold off. If you’re curious about the newer features and want to explore them, it’s okay to buy — but be aware, it only met about 7.5 out of 10 of my expectations.I’ll post updates after more use. Hopefully I’m wrong — I’d rather be pleasantly surprised than feel like I threw £400 out the window just to feel better about the purchase.
