Fantastic review. Thank you. I was debating with myself between the Scribe and the Remarkable 2, and based on this review, I think that the Scribe seems like the way to go for my usages. I tried the Remarkable at a store, and it's really nice, but I do read a lot, and the Scribe seems to be a better option to replace my PaperWhite.

This is a really informative video! Just curious, can you doodle over PDFs? I have scanned textbooks that I want to write over for my classes and as much as I love e-ink tablets, I'm deciding between getting a Scribe or a mini ipad with a stylus. This is complicated by the release of the Kobo Libra Colour which I believe lets you doodle over books.

@jamesleeshin Ай бұрын

You can’t doodle or write freely over PDFs, very limited to a few PDFs that you can on. You can take notes but it’ll be saved separately in “notes”

Hi and thanks for the video. I have a question about one very specific circumstance. I often receive emails from people asking me to mark up the content or if it is ok, to sign the content. Is it easy to send things that are emailed to me to the kindle scribe, mark up the document, sign it, and send it back to a certain email?

A big fault with the current Kindle software is not being able to actually remove a book from the home page back to the library, and not have it showing on the home page. This can be done on the Kindle App for the iPhone & iPad. I don't like all the clutter of books I have purchased but not read on the home page screens of my actual Kindle and Scribe.

@Kimberli6 2 ай бұрын

I want for strictly note taking. But moving from my many note books I would like to see the ability for e-ink to meta tag so that I can search terms yrs down the road. What I heard you say is that there is folder & sub folders. Is there any further file management in the meta tag way?

@jamesleeshin 2 ай бұрын

Just folders and sub folders for now, it would be nice to have the ability to create and search for tags on the Scribe!

I agree, there are so many options out there. If you need it for mainly reading (especially Kindle books) and just some notes, I'd definitely recommend the Scribe!

@user-vx5bu8tr5y Ай бұрын

Why not buy a small Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis for outdoor portability and reduced risks of financial damage if you drop or scratched the screen? Take notes via iPhone voice memo. Then go home and use e-handwrite on Remarkable 2?

How does it FEEL writing on this. Is it like the Surface line of plastic nibs on glass or does it feel somewhat like the tactile of writing on paper?

@Rugalb2k 7 сағат бұрын

It´s an amazing device and the best e reader I've owned, but it is extremely fragile. One accidental drop and the screen is gone. Amazon refuses to repair it even if you pay for it. I am back to my Paperrwhite 2013, which has suffered many falls and it´s still working as if it was still 2013. The problem is now the screen looks miniscule, I am thinking on buying a Inkpad Lite. No more kindles for me, terrible customer service.

What’s the difference between Kindle Scribe vs Remarkable 2 vs BOOX Note Air3 Series? My usage is to taking notes from whatever I’m learning for that I usually to do it by writing down the learning and making my owns notes that can be available anytime and anywhere to read it again.

Amazon, you see if you make the sides flat the pen will stick much better + it will be more comfortable holding it. Please get rid of curved sides, please. Straight sides with nice prominent corners that make you feel you're actually holding something.

I don’t understand the comment - “the screen can get very bright if needed in the daylight.” Bright daylight is the time that you don’t need any screen light at all.

@jamesleeshin 3 ай бұрын

Absolutely, I appreciate your focus on this. The point is, similar to needing less light in the dark, a bright screen in daylight enhances visibility, ensuring a clear view even under the sun!

No, it’s the opposite of what you’re saying. This is an electronic device. It’s not a physical book. So, with it being an electronic device, yes, you need less back lighting at night time and more back lighting in daytime.
