## Description

The only Kindle that includes a digital notebook: read and write down thoughts in books or a separate notebook. Create Kindle notebooks: write down thoughts, journal, take meeting notes, sketch and more. View your notebooks on the Kindle app, export to PDF or convert to text and send to your contacts. Read and write as naturally as you do on paper: features the world’s first 10.2-inch, 300 ppi glare-free Paperwhite display and includes a Basic Pen. Write in books as inspiration strikes - Start writing on the page and Active Canvas will create space for your notes. Expand the margins to add more notes, or collapse them to see the original page. Easily summarise and refine your notes with new built-in AI notebook tools. Review documents and PDFs and annotate digitally: review and mark up PDF files or create sticky notes in Microsoft Word and other compatible documents. Read and write comfortably day or night: Kindle Scribe has a large, high-resolution display, adjustable warm light, auto-adjusting front light and larger font sizes for a personalised experience. The longest battery life on any Kindle. Read and write for longer: a single charge via USB C gives you months of battery life for reading, weeks for writing, and the Basic Pen never needs charging.

Review: Great! - I only got my Scribe yesterday, and I still haven't emailed any notes to myself yet, however from what I've seen it's a really good device~ I found the writing to be natural and in some ways easier and quicker than paper notebooks. (You don't have to worry about scrumpling the paper as you write, or notes bleeding through the page from the other side, obviously!) I bought it specifically to take notes and journal in, and I'm going to do a notebook per month, and keep that in a separate folder from other notes, then archive by year. That's a great feature for organisation. I'm not sure about whether drawings are transferrable to other devices yet, so I'd be interested in that, because I like to copy and paste little doodles (both in pen and highlighter) to put at the bottom of pages (because if I write to the bottom of a page I get hand cramps and my handwriting goes rubbish, though this is just a general thing, not to do with the kindle!) Re the drawings thing, I'd find it really entertaining to make little flipbooks on there, and perhaps it wouldn't take that much effort for desertcart to make a flipbook feature! (I do understand if it's not intended be be used as an artists' device though, just thought it might be a fun thing for some people!) If that were the case, it would be great if there were features like a felt-tip pen that gets a bit scribbly/faded with speed of drawing, or some colour options potentially in future models. I really like the screen~ it feels huge compared to my Paperwhite! I read voraciously, so this is great for me. I also really appreciate being able to adjust the warmth of the light, alongside the general light/dark display. This is great for night time reading as normal white screen light tends to mess with people's circadian rhythms. (Though in bed I tend to still use the older, smaller one because it's easier to hold and not drop on my face/my partner/my cat!) I bought the version with the case and fancy pen, which I do recommend. The case also has an inbuilt pen holder so you don't have to solely rely on the magnet at the side of the kindle holding it in place, e.g. when travelling. I would suggest that next time desertcart does a promo with multiple items however, that they include a matte screen protector as well. And perhaps earphones? One thing that could be improved is that I'd like a wired (mini jack) earphone connection because bluetooth earbuds give me headaches. Mind you, I don't even know if you can listen to audiobooks from this device because I haven't actually tried it due to my oldschool ways! Haha. So please disregard that if it isn't relevant. Maybe there's some earphones I could plug in if they had the right connector? Not sure how all that actually works yet. Perhaps someone in the know could reply and inform me? Or I'll investigate. Really helpful tool for songwriting and poetry, because you can freeflow whilst in a creative state, then copy the whole page and reorder lines/verses for when you're ready to edit things, which involves a different brain-mode~ for me at least! Also if you're writing chords to go above lyrics you can do them in a different font and size them to whatever seems convenient/legible. (Colour feature would be useful here as well potentially.) I really like that there's a music notation preset format as well! (I've not tried it yet but it's a total unexpected bonus! I wonder if this could be transferable to Sibelius or Logic, for example? Might be a really good thing for music students.) Overall, I'm really happy with the Kindle Scribe. I particularly enjoy doing random doodles/one liner notes on a blank page and then resizing them and shuffling them about. It's very satisfying to see a whole page of various brain-dribblings in various fonts and sizes like a real notebook but neater and without any crossings out.
Review: Brilliant, very glad I purchased a Kindle Scribe - I have been looking at the Kindle Scribe and Remarkable 2 for some time and was a bit torn as to which one to get. A friend has the Remarkable 2 so I had seen one of them but I'd not set eyes on the Scribe. I do have quite a few Kindle books but have never actually owned a Kindle and that was one of my primary reasons for leaning towards the Scribe. I read a lot of Scribe reviews early days and they all seemed to say the hardware was great but the software was lacking so I just kept an eye on the reviews as steadily desertcart added the features people were longing for. Prime day arrived and I took the plunge on a 32GB Kindle Scribe with the Premium pen and got a fairly cheap case (£16) to go with it. I am so glad I did because I have been using it a heck of a lot. Reading: I have probably read more recently than I have in years. I take it to read when I am sat in the car waiting for the kids at their clubs, much better than the laptop and phone I used to take with me. I have been using it to read in bed which I have probably not done for over 30 years. The backlit screen is great for reading in bed because I don't wake the wife. Writing: I work in cyber security and spend most of my day on a laptop or in meetings. Despite being a techie I still prefer making notes on paper rather than writing notes on the laptop. Downside of this is I end up with loads of paper kicking about so the main reason for getting the Scribe was to do away with the reams of paper I end up collating. I have not been disappointed at all with the writing performance. I write really small and thought it might not work so well for me but it works perfectly. I am using it all day long at work instead of paper now and an really happy with it. Organising the different notebooks is a breeze and it actually is much better than using paper pads because you can better organise your notes. Screen: Books and your own written content are very clear on the Paperwhite screen. With the back light on it literally looks like you are writing on a notepad because it is white rather than grey. I’ve been using it with the back light off in the office though as you don’t really need it in a well lit office and battery should last even longer. I have used it in the summerhouse where it was too bright to see my phone screen properly and the Kindle screen was perfectly readable. Pen: I have the premium pen and I would say it is probably worth getting for the rubber feature alone. Although it would not be the end of the world selecting the rubber tool from the menu I could see it being a bit annoying compared to just flipping the pen. The button I have configured as a highlighter but rarely use it so would not really miss that feature. I read some reviews that said the magnet is not strong enough to hold the pen but mine really snaps into place and is firmly attached when the slightly flat side is towards the Kindle. Mine is a later one so maybe desertcart have addressed this, not sure all I can say is it is more than adequate to hold the pen. Nice to haves (desertcart if you are listening): Just some things that I have either not worked out how to do yet or don’t exist. When sorting books into collections by opening the collection and selecting add/remove, it would be nice to be able to filter the list of books to add by those not already in a collection. I have a lot of books and it is very tedious to have to go through the full book list for each collection. It would be nice to be able to access the “Home, Library, Notebooks” navigation menu whilst being in a book or notebook to be able to switch between them more quickly. Overall: A great bit of kit I have no regrets in purchasing it. £300 would probably buy enough notepads and pens for life but I am glad I have this instead.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is handwriting turned into typed writing?**
A: As of today's update (23 May 2023) you can now email yourself complete notebooks converted to simple text files.

**Q: Can it convert handwriting to text?**
A: As of today's software update (23 May 2023) you can now email yourself complete notebooks converted to simple text files.

**Q: Does this support screen sharing on a PC or Zoom call?**
A: This is not mentioned in the product information.

There are other options for e-ink writing tablets that can share the screen with other devices.

You're not really going to find an e-ink device that can handle a video or audio call. E-ink displays can't work fast enough, and I don't know of any with a camera, and this one doesn't even have a speaker or microphone.

You would probably be better to buy a standard Android/Apple tablet with a stylus that can share its screen if you require such screen sharing and video/audio calls on the same device, plus you could get handwriting recognition and speech to text. Although, a standard tablet will not have the same 'distraction-free' performance.

**Q: Why doesn’t it have ‘read aloud’? Isn’t it about time Kindle had this now common-place feature for people with reading disabilities? .**
A: I says in the blurb it does; the early kindles did but then they stopped it to promote audible books. What I read said this will have text to speak:
"VoiceView screen reader, available over Bluetooth audio, provides spoken feedback allowing you to navigate your device and read books with text-to-speech (available in English only)."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great piece of kit, with flaws
*by N***2 on 11 August 2025*

Pros. Got this primarily for taking notes in work as I tend to scribble a lot during meetings. Have to say the feel of writing in this is like writing on expensive paper, and it picks up everything I write perfectly. Very impressed so far. Additionally; the kindle function which i use it a lot for is brilliant. Page is huge so feels like a real page, much more than the smaller version I was currently using. Battery life is brilliant and very handy for carrying around to meetings and general Cons. Price obviously is very high. Got amazon voucher for bday so was not that bad but if you paying straight up it's heavy amount to spend on essentially a kindle and notepad. The transcribe to text function is good for the most part but you still have e to review and change when sent as it will miss things especially when writing fast notes. Sending the notes as well, not as straightforward as they state, took me some goes to figure out best way and I'm not adverse to technology. TLDR: very nice, handy notebook. Feels like paper. Does what it says on the tin with great kindle function. Very expensive and not as straightforward to send notes
