the scribe is ok but definitely not worth the price. Wtf were they thinking? it costs $300+ and you can easily get an iPad for that price that can do wayyyyyy more than the scribe could ever do. It should cost $150 and no more. 300 is a joke

It seems like the Scribe's problems can be fixed by software updates, but the hardware is good already. Whereas there is nothing you can do to add lights to the Remarkable (other than buying one they will eventually release that has them) Amazon can always release an update that will allow marking up Kindle books and making PDF marking better. Kobo's main problem is that they are a completely separate ecosystem, and if you already have Kindle investment, it makes more sense for you to get the Scribe.

I got the Scribe and love it. I wanted the good writing capabilities and I'm very pleased with it. There have already been updates. One is that the pen can write like a fountain pen. My handwriting went from average to great in a split second with this pen option. I have the premium pen and use the special feature to be an eraser, so I don't have to turn the pen around to erase. I'm slowing getting all my scrap-of-paper notes into the Scribe. All updates are free so I expect this cool e-ink device to have even more features before I ever wear it out. But I still love it the way it is.

Thanks for the thorough review. Looks like the scribe has a long way to go. I own a remarkable 2 and absolutely love it and have no complaints. I’m a grad student about to graduate and have used it A LOT throughout my graduate studies. My favorite features are -the live screen mirroring (I’ve used it during zoom study sessions to work math problems and show my professors and classmates how I work a problem) -writing to text conversion (converts your handwriting to text) -real time syncing (syncs your documents to an app on your PC, MAC, iPhone, iPad, tablet in real time wirelessly. Done a lot of math homework using this feature and have turned it in on my iPhone while on the go) -I also use it a lot for PDF note taking and I’ve even downloaded a few of my textbooks on there. The platform is very intuitive and well rounded. If you need an e-ink asap, I’d get the remarkable 2 but if you’d like to wait a little longer I’d wait and see what Amazon has to offer. I’m sure the scribe will catch up to the other more superior e-ink devices on the market. I’m not a big kindle reader. I read more PDFs and ePub documents so the whole kindle factor didn’t affect me at all.

Just got the Scribe. In spite of the fact that I think it’s overpriced, I like it for what I wanted it for… a larger format e-reader. Ever since my Kindle DX died, I’ve wanted another large e-reader. I have the PaperWhite & that’s fine for when I’m on the go because it fits perfectly in my shorts cargo pockets. But when I’m at home I prefer a larger format that is closer to an actual book page size. I also have the Kobo AuraOne (which I prefer) that is slightly larger than the PaperWhite but still fits comfortably in my cargo pockets, and the Kobo Elipsa which is basically the same size as the Scribe. And I think the Elipsa is overpriced too, but those are the only two choices for a large format e-ink reader. The note taking features are nice, but not what interests me. This is just personal preference, but I like the software features on the Kobo better than the Kindle. But I do like the feel, fit & finish quality of the Scribe better than the Elipsa. Now if only Apple would just make a dedicated e-ink only e-reader (they won’t) around the same size as the Scribe, that would really interest me. I’m guessing a lot (maybe most) Kindle owners also own either an iPad or Kindle Fire tablet but prefer reading books on a dedicated e-ink reader for the obvious reasons. I think more competition in this space would be a good thing for readers.

Thank you. Very good review. I’ll be staying with my Remarkable 2 and my Kindle Oasis for the foreseeable future. The only selling point for the Scribe to me is its large 300 ppi screen, “a first for its size” as all reviewers announce. When going through the features, it falls off dramatically compared to others in the note taking category. I assume these issues will be addressed in the future, when newer versions come out. I’ll wait and see.

I purchased one, and I really agree with and appreciate the criticisms you mention in this video. My personal criticisms are: 1) It's EXTREMELY thin and light, which is great, but it's also very worrisome to me when I bring it places without a bag. I am worried I will sit on it in the car and bend/break it. 2) It has no buttons, which I really dislike. The touch sensitivity is great when you're directly engaged with it, but it's frustrating when you're sitting to eat. 3) No pressure sensitivity on the pen? What? That's absolutely bizarre in the current world. 4) I preordered the device and the case won't arrive for another month. Keeping the pen with the device by magnets only is frustrating to say the least. I think your point about it being a gigantic Kindle is poignant - that's exactly why I purchased it; it checks all the boxes I want: 1) Big, high DPI screen 2) Cool/Warm LED shift 3) Absolutely ludicrous battery time (same as other Kindles - no Android, which can be a downside, but boots super fast and keeps a charge for months) 4) Super thin, super light 5) Very, very responsive page turning and display refreshing (not the biggest must-have, but definitely great-to-have) I should also note the device came with 4 months of free Kindle Unlimited, which I accepted but which I am unsure I will use (I have eclectic reading tastes). I also own: Kindle Paperwhite (great but too small for my eyes now) Boox Nova3 Color (smaller, poor screen, takes too long to boot, thick and heavy, feels non-premium - but has color and note taking!) Kindle Oasis (perfect device except it's a bit too small. The buttons are great, I wish the Scribe had these buttons) Samsung Tab S8+ (not e-ink, but my favorite tablet ever made) iPad Pro 11" (again not e-ink, wonderful device but I don't like the iOS ecosystem very much) I really hate to emphasize marketing, but there was an insert in the Scribe box that had a quote from Robert Louis Stevenson - "I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in." Which more or less perfectly describes my use case - I'm a computer programmer, and I like to read when I eat, and I like to take notes throughout the day when they occur to me. I strongly prefer to hand write notes, but I will use other means if necessary. I need a backlight to not disturb my wife's sleep, but I like it to be warm/cool depending on the time of day. My eyes get really bad at night because of my work and I like the larger device. The Kindle ecosystem is good but doesn't really sway me one way or the other.

I've had my Scribe for a couple of days now, and your review is spot on. Note-taking is not great. As well as the things you mentioned, the organization of note-taking could be better. You can create a folder and put notes in that folder, but if you are trying to organize a lot of notes, you will want to put folders in folders which you can't do. Also, if you want to insert a page between other pages, that is impossible. You can only add to the end of a note. Since there is no handwriting recognition, tagging, or typing into a note, there is no easy way to search and find notes. I bought it for e-reading and note-taking, so it's OK, but yes over priced given the minimal features. I'm hoping they will start issuing some meaningful updates soon.

Great review, with certain serious problems in the review, for which stay tuned. Thanks for such a thorough look. I always wanted the combination of Oasis clarity with the Kindle DX size. I loved the Kindle DX and hated that it was phased out without another large-form alternative. I don't expect to do a lot of writing in and around my books and when I do, the sticky note function is fine. I do intend to use the latter sometimes and I think it will be quite useful. But most of the time I will luxuriate in reading an ebook at the size and scale that serious books are meant to be read. This review touches just lightly on the reader experience, as if it is merely equal in importance to note taking. When you think about it, reading is many times more important than note taking. When you do write on a sticky note, just jot down the title and chapter of the book, abbreviated, and you will know precisely where it should go without matching it up to the page it came from. Even if I could write in a margin, how would I read it clearly without talking many steps to enlarge it. Viewing a virtual sticky is so much easier. If the Scribe had in-margin editing and no stickies, C-Net might bemoan the lack of sticky notes--and be correct in doing so! The reviewer sometimes shares an opinion of one, which is of limited utility to an audience of many,

You didn’t mention nothing with the kindle app integration that can be improved and an advantage. It’s easy and very paper like experience. I never take notes on books so it doesn’t bother me at all.

Back to waiting for something great. E-readers (all of them) are in need of some breakthrough product to revolutionize their market. I had hopes, but sadly I see this is not it. They are ALL still thinking inside the box. They all feel cumbersome to me.. compared to just having a paper book with notes in it and highlights --- I just want something that transfers those notes into a modify-able document -to save and file away in one place and/or share, etc. This doesn't seem like too much to ask with technology today, but I can't bring myself to buy yet. Every one of these devices seem cumbersome to say the least than a good ol' book laying open on the desk in front of you.

Excellent review. Kindles have never been great with PDFs, so that doesn't really surprise me. I'm more surprised by how lackluster the implementation of notetaking is. That's the one reason this device has to exist, and it's something they couldn't afford to screw up. All they needed to do was implement a layer system over the ebook. Save the writing on this layer as a separate file, and load it when you open the book again. I wouldn't think this would be hard. The sticky note system they've come up with is absurd. It's also kind of weird to me that they didn't include wireless charging. I have the Paperwhite Signature Edition, and the wireless charging is one of my favorite features. The other thing is the price. Amazon's usual MO when they enter an existing market is to undercut the competition on price, but they decided not to do that here. They could've released a second, smaller device (say, around the size of the Paperwhite) that they could sell for cheaper. That would've at least undercut the competition. Why they didn't do that is beyond me. I can understand the appeal of a larger reader, but I think they also needed the smaller size for people who wanted to write but didn't want to go big. (I fit into this category.)

In the past I've used an Onyx Boox device and it had more features than the Scribe. This is also the first time I've seen the cover and ordered that as well, not impressed. A bit confused on if I should cancel the order. I did trade in two previous Kindles to offset the price and be environmentally responsive. These were functional units. This is bittersweet, at least now I can weigh the reviews in on my decision.

Thanks for the thorough review. And I appreciate the comparison to other products. Just the info I was looking for. And sadly, the scribe is prob a no for me. Time to look more closely at the Remarkable 2.

Thank you for adding the comparison at the end so now the answer is no, I'll get the Remarkable 2.

Between the three E-ink branded options mentioned, it's unfortunate that we have to choose which shortcomings we can live with the best. I think I'll keep waiting and continue using my regular tablet that does everything but isn't ideal for that pen on paper feel.

I understand niche companies charging a lot for these, because they don’t make them in high volume to cover costs. Amazon could have charged $200 for this and it would have flooded the scene. It seems like it’s compromised as just an E-reader too. My Onyxboox is getting a bit long in the tooth after 4 years, so looking for an upgrade, and was hoping this Amazon one will be a good replacement. Oh well… money saved 🤷♂️

Aready pre-ordered. I wanted something to help consume more books and take the occasion notes when reading so the scribe fits most of my requirements. See how to actually turns out to be. The hand written notes to text feature would be nice for searching through notes. Fingers cross on a future update.

Thank you for the great review. I was looking at the Kindle scribe for writing on PDFs for work. The remarkable 2 looks like a viable option since I don’t need backlight as well as cloud sharing storage. I don’t know how an iPad Pro would work, since the screen is much bigger and far more powerful.

I wanted an oasis, but I got the case, premium pen, and 64gb model for $280 in US, so I think I’m happy there

Thank you for an awesome review! Shows pros and cons. I finally ordered scribe after foundering for it for a year.. Because it's on sale. Lol If I can write directly on the book, I would have paid a full price. 😂

Thanks for the information. I was only curious ab6 the device. I've already picked the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition as the device for me. I'll never need to take notes, so that feature is useless for me in any device. Sometimes I just like to learn about the latest gizmos.

At least she compared the Scribe to Remarkable and Elipsa instead of the iPad like a lot of other idiots out there. That said she only compared the writing on PDFs documents. Comparing writing on a basic piece of paper is obviously what most people would want to know. Mind numbing that she forgot to do so.

The writing experience is very satisfying. The screen has a "slightly courser than paper" feel which translates well and the latency is lower than a standard iPad, around iPad Pro/reMarkable2 levels. It made a grown man grin like an idiot when I first picked it up.

From this review, I think I will consider other device for doing note taking. Boox lineups seem more interesting to me for an e-note. Ah yes, just so you know, i own a paperwhite which i use daily and i love it

I got the remarkable and packed it up to return it within an hour - the lack of internal light adjustment was a dealbreaker for me. Sure, it was cool to be able to mix templates within one notebook but what good is it if I can't see it? And the lighting in conference rooms isn't always enough. I just received my Scribe and absolutely love it. I just need a central place for my notes, and don't need the PDF or book markup feature.

I would buy if the price were $200~$250 only for reading on a larger display. It seems that Amazon put writing ability just to justify the price.

Not at all. The writing experience is *very* good, in fact, I was blown away by the low latency - and my daughter has spent the last hour drawing on it! It's definitely a core feature and not a last minute addition.

Remarkable 2 user here. I've been using a Remarkable for all my work notes for about five years. This was a good review but failed to mention one advantage of the Remarkable v. what the Scribe appears to offer. Remarkable doesn't have bookmarking - it has something better in my opinion - tags. Folders, documents and pages have a descriptive tag assigned to them. I'll use this to track what pages of my bullet journal are for project X, or about product Y. Multiple tags can be applied, and I can search for all the pages in a document, or all the documents in a folder that have a given tag. I no longer keep a bullet journal index. I use tags.

At 3:53, when you show multiple notes, it appears to show the referenced sentence and then your note; however, you state that it doesn't show the reference. Just wanted to clarify that.
