First Impressions: Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024)

Amazon's new Kindle Scribe looks to fix some of the biggest complaints with the original, but there's still work to be done in the hardware department.

The new Kindle Scribe looks to fix some of the biggest complaints with the original in terms of software, but it seems like there’s still work to be done in the hardware department.

Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024) review: don't write it off

The Scribe is a well-made curio once again

Large display, Easy to take notes, Design refinements are welcome

Too big for everyday reading, User interface can be fiddly

The Kindle Scibe's updated design is a welcome change, while its hardware remains impressively well-made. If you like to take notes while you read, and you want to do so all on one device, it's made for you. For most people, though, I'm not convinced...

Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024) review: reading and writing in one excellent package

Reading and writing come together nicely with the Amazon Kindle Scribe 2024. Is it worth the money? Find out in my full review.

Metallic Jade color is beautiful ; Plenty of space with 10.2-inch display ; Lightweight and portable ; Easily read and write together ; Pen is very responsive with no latency ; Useful AI tools

Limitations for note-writing in books ; Monochrome display

“The Kindle Scribe 2024 is a perfect combination of reading and writing in a single device.”

Kindle Scribe 2 review in progress: Is slightly useful AI worth the extra cash?

Testing Amazon's Kindle Scribe (2024) brought on an analog ache and a longing for days unmarred by today's AI fever.

Forget the Amazon Kindle Scribe — I found a fantastic alternative

With a big screen, included stylus, and long battery life, the Kobo Elipsa 2E seemingly has everything it needs to become the king of the e-notebooks.

Bright and clear display In-book annotations Big list of supported files Google Drive and Dropbox integration Weeks of battery life

Stylus needs separate charging Sluggish performance in areas Dodgy exporting

“The Kobo Elipsa 2E isn't a gadget you absolutely need, but it's a lovely e-reader that I think you'll love.”

Amazon Kindle Scribe (2024) Review: Room for More

The Scribe remains a great digital notebook for Kindle loyalists, even if not much has changed over the original.

Thin and lightweight. Large display for writing and reading. You can now write directly within a book. New generative AI features are minor but useful. Includes Premium Pen.

Still not waterproof. No color features. Active Canvas is unintuitive.

I tested the Kindle Scribe for two weeks, and its best feature isn't what I expected

Amazon's new Kindle Scribe combines all the functions you'd expect from the e-reader, with new note-taking features and a pen-and-paper experience.

All in all, the Kindle Scribe is an e-reader designed for readers who like to engage with their texts, doodlers, note-takers, and list-makers who prefer to "just write it down." At $399 for the 16GB version, the Scribe is competitively priced as a...

Kindle Scribe (2024) review

This is the best Kindle Scribe yet, but it still needs some work

Biggest Kindle you can buy ; Great reading experience ; Big display that's easy on the eyes ; Redesigned stylus feels comfy to use

Price bump hurts ; Not waterproof ; Taking notes still feels a bit awkward

The Kindle Scribe (2024) improves upon its predecessor, delivering a more comfortable writing and doodling experience thanks to an upgraded stylus, redesigned chassis, and new AI features. But the price is so high that it's basically as much as an iPad...
