i mention the remarkable 2 at the end but because the coworker on our team who had received that device to review no longer works with us and didn’t hand it off to someone on our team, i had no real way to go too indepth other than based off his write up for us and a specs sheet. if i had more time to write this review i def think calling in a reMarkable 2 to compare is a must! we might be able to do that for a video later down the line. i also mentioned the ipad and galaxy devices as they’re things people i spoke with outside of niche tech circles asked me most often about and seem to use more, so it felt prudent to bring those up.

For me, the biggest issues with the Scribe are things that can be fixed in software. The hardware is excellent, and the writing is phenomenally good. The software can be updated. So, I'm happy with the purchase.

Early impressions.. great if you want to read kindle books on it (you can’t with the Remarkable) and the backlight is great for varying light conditions (Remarkable has no backlight) As for writing the screen/pen has no pressure sensitivity so you can’t emphasise text by pressing harder/lighter. Scribe screen does a full refresh when you use the erase which is annoying/distracting. And there are fewer pen styles to choose from

Great review! This really is one of the first “big fish” companies dipping their toes in e-ink with writing capabilities, which is exciting to see. It would be interesting to see how it compares with other e-ink writing devices from Boox, Supernote, Remarkable, etc… I currently own a Boox device and it seems to have an edge with it having full Android capabilities and I can install any app or even use OneNote to take my notes (which actually does sync edits across devices!!) but it would be interesting to see differences in daily performance and possible use cases. EDIT: I meant to say first e-ink device with Wacom/writing support, didn't make that clear initially

With every new device, don't be a beta tester. Wait for the follow up. Scribe looks great but I imagine we'll get an A4 sized device with color within a year and a half. Til then, I'll continue to use a tablet or good old paper and pen.
@farhatsam8529

People will argue about why not having a full tablet instead of such devices like the Scribe (considering the price), but they are totally not comparable. The scribe is an electronic paper, just it: No notifications, not colors, no distractions (KZitem, blogs...), no complicated Notes software... The goal of Ebook readers like Scribe and Paperwhite is to not lose the book and paper experience, which is something people underestimates

Great review as always from Cherlynn and Engadget team Coming from ReMarkable 1, Boox Max Lumi, and ipad pro, the key advantage of Scribe is Kindle library. Second is that Amazon kindles is very reliable, easy returns and replacements policies. As for writing in a ebook for notes, I suspect this was done for 2 different issues. The first one being that for ebooks you can change size of fonts which could be a problem for you being that handwritten notes would be all over the place instead of reflecting the actual place you meant it to be. A second reason which I think, is also but not tested, is that your handwritten notes could be seen in a regular kindle. Please update us and let us know about the second part when you open your kindle book in a regular kindle after making notes and synchronization. For pdf i believe you can write directly on margins on no notes. There is a planned update in January, to make easier uploading. Also just for those who have been around the block remember the old dx kindles....those were huge with poor pixel density :-)
