Amazon Kindle Scribe vs ReMarkable 2 | Which should you buy?
Рет қаралды 148,195
Күн бұрынAt its product launch event in Autumn 2022, Amazon launched a new kind of Kindle. It's called the Kindle Scribe, and its Amazon's first E Ink paper tablet. It's not the first to market though. ReMarkable has made a name for itself here, so how does Amazon's attempt compare with the ReMarkable 2? Cam compares the two in this video.

@wouterdijkstra2567 9 ай бұрын
I’m stunned that such an obvious feature as being able to use word documents is not possible on a remarkable. That is such a dealbreaker to me!! You always have to convert to pdf, then takes notes, which creates a layer on top, create a new pdf, save it in the cloud, and finally upload a new pdf file on your laptop. My goodness… such a drag. I guess there is just still not a great solution to this problem, but at least on a kindle you can work in a word-format AND you can actually read ebooks and big pdf-files. I would definitely choose a kindle scribe over a remarkable.

This. The Scribe is amazing if you're looking for a big Kindle and don't care about page-turn buttons or waterproofing. If you plan to use it as a serious note-taking or drawing device, you'll be very disappointed. To me, it feels more like a current-gen Kindle DX than a true reMarkable competitor.

Hmm that 1mm thinner profile is at the detriment to dropping a backlight. The Kindle despite the software is ergo the better device. Hopefully the Remarkable 3 will introduce a backlight.
@DigiDriftZone Ай бұрын
There were some awesome updates for the Scribe from Amazon earlier on, but the past 5 months it's almost nothing, it seems like Amazon have abandoned Scribe users :( - at least they pop up on sale for unbeatable prices that are less than half of what reMarkable 2 costs, personally I bought both. The Scribe is MUCH faster for opening / annotating PDFs, it has a backlight so is better as a journal at night if you don't want to turn lights on. The reMarkable has things that the Scribe really should have, ability to move pages between PDFs, ability to delete/duplicate pages, ability to tag pages, etc. It's a shame as the Scribe is such a great piece of hardware, 300PPI, magnetic wake/sleep, backlight, etc, all of which the reMarkable lacks.

Remarkable is a waste of money when you consider there is a subscription service involved on top of everything else. The cost, along with the required pencil, is near the cost of an ipad, which is far superior and useful…for a little extra in cost, you’d get a LOT extra in ability. The Kindle on the other hand, although not quite as good as the remarkable, is still cheaper. Also, the kindle seems to get regular updates and more importantly, no subscription service required. If I didn’t already have an iPad, and I “needed” one of these, it would be the kindle Scribe.

I bought the Kindle Scribe and almost immediately returned it. The non-configurable time-out is just piss taking - putting your code back in before you can start writing is irritating. I also didn't like the E Ink - with all it's flickeryness. I didn't find it very responsive either - clicking/tapping sometimes didn't react immediately. Turning a page gave no real feedback, apart from the delayed flickering. So I'm sticking to pen and paper for now - until someone invents something decent. ALSO: the Kindle reader cocked up the pagination/formatting - I noticed 3 typos/errors in a book I have read in hard copy: apostrophes turned to question marks, sentence not carrying on properly on a page turn. Scrolling is crap. In addition, no automatic sync with google drive etc. Send to kindle is faff.

So I've been looking for an ebook to buy. But I have a few requirements that I can't seem to confirm if they exist or not. 1. Premium. 2. Access to things like websites and Patreon for reading from creators right after a new chapter is published. (I can't seem to be able to find out if they let you access the internet like this). 3. A bonus would being able to listen to audio books from audible. Is there anything that matches these requirements? Or am I stuck reading already published stuff or taking screenshots and turning them into PDFs?

You've really got two choices: use your phone to queue up reading and send it over to the tablet to consume (using something like pocket, instapaper, print to pdf + email, etc), or get a e-ink tablet with a browser. It looks like there are a few out there that run android, like Onyx. However, there is a trade-off with browsing; it does consume more battery and your e-ink device won't last as long.
