I love it! Don’t know why I waited so long to purchase!
I had been reviewing kindles for a long time because I am unable to read regular books (even with my reading glasses) because the print is too small. The kindle scribe caught my attention with its ability to take notes, highlight and have a notebook section. But I kept delaying purchase because it is a big purchase. I ended up pulling the trigger when I received a couple gift cards for my birthday which covered half the expense. The Kindle Scribe did not disappoint. I absolutely love it. I can adjust the text size to account for my eyesight, and I can adjust the light brightness. I find myself reading daily again. It is lightweight, easy to take with me (so much easier than multiple books in my bag). It is very much like reading a book page. Bonus: You can read in bed without needing an extra light on!! I have used it for notes, and it has the capability to “quick send” that (as a pdf) to my email address on file. The only negative that I have seen thus far is that not all of the content size is adjustable. Settings are still in the small text. That would be nice to see larger (future feature!).If you are on the fence, and love to read, I would say go for it.

I love this damn thing!
Okay, this thing definitely exceeded my expectations, and I’m honestly kind of shocked by how much I actually love this thing. And one of the things I love about the kindle line as a whole is the battery life, and the scribe is no exception. I was messing around with sketching in the notebook for about an hour and a halfonly lost about 6 percent. Very nice! I know writing is more taxing on the battery, so I know that reading will last even longer.For me, the screen size is perfect (for both books and comics) in my opinion. While I love and still use my Paperwhite, there were some instances where I really wished I could have just a little bit more real estate. I know it’s a small thing, but it’s nice having an entire page fit on the page! It’s also a lot snappier than my aging Paperwhite – turning pages is a remarkably quick by comparison!Speaking of stupid conveniences, the feel of the pens/pencil/marker is so satisfying. I don’t know how else to say it, but it makes writing more enjoyable somehow. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent so much time typing lately, but going back to handwriting is very nostalgic and (for me, at least) gets my creativity flowing in a way that typing just can’t.And as an artist, it feels good to just sketch a little doodle in the corner, or add a starburst around your text to make it stand out more. I can put fancy little outlines on there as well, and add a bit of shading with the highlighter. I only wish it had the ability to set up layers (even one of them would help a ton!) or have different styles for each page in your notebook. (It’d be nice to alternate between a blank page and a sheet of looseleaf!)Either way, this thing works like a dream and I’m enjoying it far more than I was expecting to, which is why I felt compelled to write this review and recommend it to anyone wanting to spice up their notes. It also works fantastic as a journal too, which has provided plenty of unexpected therapeutic benefits as well.10/10 product, easy. Best of all, I got a refurbished model along with a used leather case – both showed up looking like they were brand new. Today was a good day!

Iâm in love with the Scribe
Itâs exceptional for reading. The light softens at night. Itâs the closest experience to reading from a book. The look and size of the page is great. Also, if youâre going to splurge on the Scribe, Iâd strongly recommend a very nice cover. I started with a cheap cover and decided to splurge for the leather cover that can be sat up easily and spins in any direction. This makes it so easy to read in bed at night. The Scribe looks like a book page but with the cover it can be sat up to read and even turned a bit to balance on the bed.The writing is fine. Iâm not as into it but it helps.Itâs also heavy and the leather cover adds weight but I still take it everywhere. It has a huge library inside it. So the weight doesnât matter to meIâve had many kindles but could never read on them easily. The pages were small enough for me to get distracted. They just werenât as easy as a book with the full page.This Kindle is so worth it. I love mine.

sluggish and frequently freezes
Iâve been happy for 1 day since getting a refurbished 64g scribe. It looked brand new and setup was easy and quick.Somehow, i found only book downloaded on the device and began to test drive. Bigger screen and i was so happy that i finally can read some technical books.Oh man, spending a couple of hours with it trying to customize config and download stuffs now reveals its shortcomings in its UI and what seems to be hardware issues. So slow and sometimes non responsive. Restarts reliably brings it up but how long?i will poke around more and return if not improvingUpdate: i am a very happy camper now. After multiple restart and pushing some books to read, the sluggishness is gone.
