A Superior Alternative: Kindle Scribe

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024

Option: Premium PenSetup: 64 GBColor: BlackOffer Type: Without Pen Replacement TipsVerified Purchase

Having used the reMarkable 2 extensively, I recently switched to the Kindle Scribe, and I must say, the comparison is highly favorable towards the Kindle Scribe. The bundle comes with a 64 GB Kindle Scribe, a Premium Pen, a stylish Leather Folio Cover, and a Power Adapter—all of which enhance the overall user experience significantly.One of the standout features of the Kindle Scribe is its weight; it's incredibly light, making it easy to carry around for long periods. The screen is another major highlight—its readability is excellent with sharp text and clear images that are easy on the eyes, even in various lighting conditions. The inclusion of a Premium Pen, which feels more natural and responsive than many styluses I've used, including that of the reMarkable 2, allows for seamless note-taking and sketching.Cost-wise, the Kindle Scribe offers great value, especially when compared to the reMarkable 2, providing similar or superior features for a more reasonable price. Additionally, the battery life is impressive, easily lasting days on a single charge under regular use, surpassing the reMarkable 2 in longevity.The quality of the Leather Folio Cover and the overall build of the device also deserve praise. They provide a premium feel without compromising the device's usability or portability. Overall, the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a digital writing and reading tool, offering superior quality and value compared to the reMarkable 2.

Zhiheng Li

A high quality portable reader.

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024

Option: Premium PenSetup: 16 GBColor: BlackOffer Type: Without Pen Replacement TipsVerified Purchase

The kindle scribe really felt like a milestone. In my opinion, kindle is one of the best reading devices ever created. First it is incredibly compact and light, making it a very convenient as a on the go Reader. Also its screen made so that it mimics reading from paper rather than reading on a screen. The thing about the Kindle scribe is that you can also use it to draw and write. I liked the feeling of writing on this so much that I almost don't use paper and pencil any more for jotting down my thoughts and ideas.

My only complaint that I hoped that the battery life would be slightly longer when you use it to write, also I hope that there will be more features in the future that will transform the kindle scribe into a writing and drawing powerhouse. From the software updates Amazon has been releasing, I think that this will soon be able to rival the reMarkable 2 writing tablet. Keep up the good work.

A GREAT Tool/Device

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023

Option: Premium PenSetup: 64 GBColor: BurgundyOffer Type: Without Pen Replacement TipsVerified Purchase

Great addition to the paper tablet market. If Amazon adds some features in the coming months, the KindleScribe could take the lead.
It syncs constantly and new PDFs and books are instantly available. I love the ease in adding to my library.
I very much like the oversized post it notes that can be add when reading a book, but shrink to keep a clean book page, although I wish I had a choice to write directly on a book page as I can a pdf. I like that I can type and hand write my notes. But also wish that my handwritten notes synced like my typewritten notes, to other devices, such as when I open the book on my laptop. I do like that I can collect all my notes and highlights in a list. Great for teaching. As a professor all my notes travel with me. This is a great tool for educators and professors.
I like that my audible books are accessible too.
I do wish it could “project” to my laptop like the competitor R2, this is an underrated feature that is great for educators. I would like a better pencil too that mimics the characteristics of a pencil better. I think layers would also make it a stronger competitor. Access to my files on a Google drive or other. And add an interactive daily planner. R2 has one that is transformative, created by a developer. But you have a project planner, so create/get a daily calendar planner. That add on was the clincher for me.But make it a reasonable price point.
I do like the ability to have controllable lighting as needed, very nice.
I love the custom cover/case. I got the burgundy one. Glad the pen came with it and that it is magnetic and can be secured with the loop on the case. Love those features.
I love that I can zoom in on my PDFs, not a feature on the R2. And my handwriting shrinks or grows accordingly in real time, staying proportional.
Not sure how it handles other ebooks that are not kindle, but the R2 doesn’t handle kindle books, much to my chagrin; I had a kindle library for decades.
Overall, even though I bought the R2 just 5 months ago, I was upset with myself because I was not aware of the KindleScribe. I think I would’ve gotten the Scribe first because it is great in many ways. But since I got the R2 first, I want to suggest to Amazon to upgrade some features then you can takeover this market: layers, projection, other ebooks, write directly on the pages of a book, handwritten notes in books travel with it to other devices, a keyboard perhaps. KEEP your unique good features and add these feature, plus do some marketing to increase awareness, then you got this. I would love to only need on device. So, please take heed.
The price point for it and the bundle is perfect. Smart to sell it with the pen. With the R2, I thought a separate pen was shameful, felt they were nickel and diming us, plus they charge for storage of files smh. Love the scribe.
Overall, a game changer. Love it and bragging on it to folks. I rarely write reviews. Best wishes on the success of this product.
