Coolest 65 year old ever!!!

Got my Scribe today “Wheee!! Set up was easy. Went to you tube to see how you navigate in order to actually journal.

Thank you so much! I just got my kindle scribe today and am so glad I did! I love how it truly feels like writing on paper. I have trouble writing on an iPad. I was thinking, how does it work for journaling, and before I could search, youtube brought this video up. Again, thank you, from someone else who has been journaling over 60 years.

Great video mate 👏🏼

Love your passion and dedication to journaling. It is impressive and admirable. Thank you for sharing this excellent video!

Hey Len, thanks for the video. I too am an analog journaler. I'll be getting the Scribe soon. Excited to try moving to the Kindle for journaling with the option to print for posterity.

I love your process. You can easily take the scribe with you. Print when you want,saves on erasers😊 Keep it up. I love going back and reading years back in my journals.

I very much enjoyed watching your journaling process. I’ve been journaling nearly all my 56 years, I am an author, and I love e-ink tablets. I’ve had two different Supernote, and a Boox tablet, sold those, and just ordered the Scribe. I think your method of creating a year folder then monthly notebooks will fit quite nicely for me. 😊

A great way to end the year, Len! Thank you for this. I love my Scribe too.

Very good info! I was on the fence regarding Scribe purchase but not now.

I appreciate your instruction. People who do not keep a journal. I just want to say they are not really just for posterity, but a lot of times it's handy to find out when something happened. Because most times your memory is not even close.

I admire your dedication to journaling sir.

Gretu=ings from Caledonia. Splendid video. I am now convinced that Kindle Scribe is the notebook that will help me write my novels. Kind regards, Jim

Fantastic information, Len. Thank you. I look forward to seeing your other content. Thank you!

I love my Scribe and do the same thing. I bought a ream of printer paper that is 3 hole punched. Wonderful device! Enjoy it.

Nice video. And the final result looked great!

This is such a wonderful idea! I can't wait to see how big my 2024 binder is!

Well done and very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing so many tips (and your gorgeous journal)!

That was great Len. Happy New Year to you all. I hope you will get after Amazon this year to push for new features for the Scribe and new Scribes, as well. It feels as though Amazon is scaling back on these devices. You are our best hope to push for more. All the best. Bruce

I just bought the Scribe, to read books on its larger screen, and now also wondering what good could its pen be for me. Thank you Len for taking the time to make this video and sharing your experience. There are a myriad of Scribe videos on KZfaq but yours is the only one I have found being the result of hundreds, if not thousands, hours of practice. I've never "journaled" but I think I can understand its value for the person who does it; calmly going back over things which have made the day, reviewing some of them in more details, possibly also a way to promote what worked better, what was fun. In this regard, there wouldn't even be a need to keep previous days' entries. Writing matters, reading back what was previously written less so. Am I onto something? I lazily use Google services to revisit my past, Google Photos, the timeline in Google Maps. A consistently maintained journal appears to me as the ultimate way to revisit past events, locations. I'd be curious knowing how often do you guys revisit past months and years, and why?

Очень хорошее видео. Пойду заказывать такую же книгу)

Hi Len……finally getting around to finding your new KZfaq video on using the Kindle Scribe. Thought it was terrific. I am amazed at how much you write every day, because the book at the end looked like it may be too heavy to lift. I do a little journaling, but mostly kind of a diary, but I skip many days. Would love if you could do a video on how you journal, and some examples of what you are journaling on. I hope you start to do more videos…..this was a very good start.

thank you just received this kindle scribe and am having a blast learning. you are adorable and thank you!

Thank you Len, this was a great video! I just subscribed to your channel. I will put into practice the information you provided here, except I would not want or need to print everything out. I love the Scribe as well, and am hoping that Amazon puts out a color version of this device in the near future. Thank you again and Happy New Year.

I don't print out my entries, I end up hand copying them all into my actual paper journal each month. Kind of defeats the purpose of digital journaling but I don’t want to waste my already written in journals. I just love the convenience of writing on the Scribe.

Thanks for this video - truly helpful to get a feel for the Scribe as I overanalyze making this purchase for now the second year in a row. Haha! I think it's time to try it out. My question for you is what kind of storage you have on your Scribe - 16 GB? 32GB? 64GB? And do you keep all of your journals on your scribe as you build your journal "library"? Or will you need to move last year's journal entries to your computer to free up space on the Scribe? I have no concept of how large the scribe files are so not sure how important storage will be. I plan to use my Scribe as a holder of MANY notebooks of varying subjects so that I don't need to fill my backpack with 7 physical notebooks whenever I want to brainstorm about my art business AND think up new KZfaq video ideas AND manage my kids' needs AND draft a Chiristmas letter and so on. So I'd rather get one with sufficient storage because offloading various notebooks won't get me to my goal of carrying it all with me. Thank you!

I appreciate the nuts and bolts walk through.

If I'm ever in Sanibel, it will be a nice dinner on me for Len.

Great video!! Ty!

Just a quick comment on the backing up process. If you have your scribe on wi-fi, it will backup automatically or better yet sync automatically to your Amazon cloud. So there is no need for you to back it up manually by emailing your notes anywhere.

I'm 52' and a new kindle scribe user. I would like to leave my daughter the life lessons I learnt and this is a great way to do it. What pen option do you choose on the scribe while journaling?

Great video, I have both a scribe and the reMarkable and I find the scribe so limiting it usually is used for just PDF annotations, rather than journalling or as a notebook. Especially if using something a bit more structured, your PDF annotations are not synced to the cloud, so you need to remember to email them back to yourself, you can't duplicate pages, you can't re-arrange pages. In the notebook section, you can't have your own templates at all, there are no layers, it's just so close to being good, it's frustrating Amazon don't add these missing features already. Great video though, thank you :)

That was enjoyable and informative. Thank you. You have a perfect presenting style and voice. Presumably, the Scribe has enough capacity to store many years of journals if folks didn't want to print them out?

i pressed the the video to see the kindle scribe but ended want to know more about journaling , why its important and why you love it that much , how i can start ?

I've journaled for almost 60 years. I just began journaling in my Scribe, and I love it. Because I also love using my many many fountain pens, I'm doing something I never thought I'd do - keep 2 notebooks at a time. There are a few things I don't really like - or haven't yet figured out. 1. I REALLY don't like having my journal page show up as the last thing used at the bottom of my library page. Even if I close my journal until I'm at the folder cover, the handwriting shows. For me, it's like waving a flag to anyone who randomly opens my Scribe: "journal ahead if you want to snoop!" (Nor do I like it stored in the library for the same reason.) 2. I can't add any detritus, such as a ticket stub, as I might in a hard copy. 3. Can't add pages in the middle of the journal. 4. I don't think I can use a sticky note in a notebook. And, a comment: the pen/stylus with the eraser on the end is the premium pen, more expensive than the standard. The standard pen relies on the drop down menu for the eraser. FWIW, if anyone has other android devices with write - on capabilities, this premium scribe pen works beautifully. It's my favorite, and I bought a 2nd for this purpose. (does NOT work on an iPad.)

Thank you for another great video! You might’ve just converted me from reMarkable. May I ask what cover you’re using in the video? Might want to get one just like it.

Happy New Year and thanks as always for the valuable information. I see you've acquired another Scribe cover! Is this replacing the green premium model or an addition to the stable?

Is it convenient to write long essays like 3k words in one go on kindle scribe? Without affecting your natural writing & pace? And distance between the lines is as standard?

Does it have a way of setting up a password, to prevent people from opening it and reading it?

Just a criticism: you have the digital version of your journal at the end. Is it really necessary to print them as well?! How about the planet Len?!

I find that the surface is rather slippery, which makes the pen difficult to control & results in bad penmanship. Do you have a papery screen protector?

It is unbelievable how someone does a 18 minutes video to show you something as simple as write

Here's a wild and crazy hack: If you want a hard copy of a handwritten journal, how about buying a lined paper diary and writing in it with a pen. If you want the Scribe's erasing capability, also buy a Ticonderoga #2.
