The Kindle Scribe is the biggest and most expensive Kindle on the market, and the first one that you can write on. It also happens to be something I adore.
Amazon Kindle Scribe MSRP $339.99 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “The Amazon Kindle Scribe isn't for everyone. But if you want a single gadget for reading and writing on a lovely e-ink screen, it's about as good as it gets.” Pros Cons Amazon Kindles haven’t been exciting for a while. They’re great devices for reading e-books and have been for years. But beyond that, there’s not much else to say about them.
There’s nothing particularly mind-blowing about this design, but what did shock me is just how thin the Kindle Scribe is. Measuring a mere 5.8mm thick, the Scribe is 26% thinner than my iPhone 14 Pro Max. And with a weight of just 433g, it adds very little bulk to a bag or backpack. Overall, it’s a quality e-ink panel that I’ve happily looked at for hours over the course of this review. Whether it’s the text of a book I’m reading, my various handwritten notes, or the buttons/words throughout the Kindle interface, everything on the Scribe is easily legible.
Kindle Scribe reading Speaking of books, that’s one of the Kindle Scribe’s best features. When you aren’t taking notes or writing a to-do list , the Scribe works just like any other Kindle. You can purchase e-books from Amazon, access them via a subscription service like Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited, or read for free through Libby. At its core, the Kindle Scribe delivers the same Kindle reading experience Amazon’s had for years — which is to say it’s excellent.
Kindle Scribe pen and writing As good as the Kindle Scribe’s reading experience is, that’s only half of the story. What makes the Scribe stand out among its other Kindle siblings is its writing capabilities. So, how are they? Previous Next 1 of 2 Further driving that point home is the built-in eraser on the Premium Pen that came with my Kindle Scribe. If you need to erase anything you’ve written, simply flip the Premium Pen over and rub the end on the screen. Just like the eraser on the end of a pencil, it removes your writing/drawing to free up that space on the Scribe.
I’d also love to see Amazon improve how the Scribe syncs with the Kindle app. As it currently stands, you can view your Scribe notes in the app by tapping the More button and then Notebooks. However, you can’t actually do anything with these notes. It’s great that I can view a grocery list I wrote on the Scribe on my phone, but if I can’t edit that list, there’s not much utility there.
