A couple notes - some of the pens (such as the Staedler and Generic stylus) won't fit inside the pen holder of the case I have. Outside of that, it looks like the Kindle is still a) on sale and b) actually will deliver before Christmas! Link here: geni.us/n7yW. Thanks everyone for all your support! Have a Merry Christmas!

Solid and detailed review. Best one I’ve seen on the Scribe. I especially appreciate the breakdown of the different size comparisons of the scribe vs other tablets, along with pen options. Thanks for sharing.

I got rid of my iPad and bought myself Fire HD Max. And I tried Kindle Scribe. Initially, I did not know what will I use it for, then I told myself that I should have bought this when I was taking my masters. Now, I use it as a digital paper and I like the writing experience a lot. I will definitely use this for my doctorate.

I can't believe it. Not 2 hours ago I bought the Kindle Scribe on sale from Amazon and then your video shows up in my KZfaq feed. Spooky. Wait, it gets spookier.I was seriously considering canceling the order. (The sale price of $300 is still a lot of money.) Watching your video alleviated the fear that I had made a bad decision. Thanks!

Oh my....welcome back! We've missed you!

I agree with you about the form factor of the Scribe. I was surprised that none of the review videos ever mentioned it! There is such a thing as a device being too thin, surprisingly enough. It just makes holding and writing on it very awkward unless you have a case. I hope future generations have the thickness and backing material that the Kindle Paperwhite has - then it will be absolutely perfect.

This was the most useful review ever! Knowing that I can’t compare side by side or the sticky notes are dealbreakers. Thank you!!

Congrats on 100k, and welcome back! :)

Yes!!! Great to see you back man. Hope you’re doing well.

mine just arrived today--this was very helpful--thank you!!

Welcome back, Harris! I've missed your quality videos. Hope you are doing well!

Pretty comprehensive review, thanks. I am just new to using e writing tablets, I just received my K Scribe a week and a half ago and love it. This does most of what I was hoping for, just reading and taking notes pretty much. The one disappointment I do have, which you mentioned is not being able to open more than one notebook or ebook at one time. This would be a huge improvement from my perspective as I desire to take a lot of notes while reading a book or even being able to copy notes from one notebook to another at times. I know the sticky notes are great, but it would be greatly beneficial to be able to sketch a few visible notes here and there on the page. I hope future upgrades will cover this off. Apart from that, this thing is worth every penny, I think. There really isn't anything else out there for this kind of money and have these features. Thanks for your review.

Harris. Lovely to see you back. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.

It’s good you are back!

I enjoy it for multiple reasons, many of which you’ve listed. I do prefer to have color highlighters of which this doesn’t have. It’s kind of frustrating for me to annotate pdfs on for this reason. And this was the main reason I purchased this device.

Bro, nice hat. Thanks for the advertising. Hope all is well. As for the review, I still love the old school method of holding a paperback or hardcover book.

I totally understand why they didn't make it so that you could write "On" a regular kindle book. Because, allot of people switch devices (with Wispersync), so when you go to a device with a different text flow.... the marking/note would misalign with the text.

Interesting review of the kindle scribe considering that you're an ipad guy. Its good to see someone appreciate this device despite of its very limited capabilities. It really is a digital minimalist device

Nice to see you again

Hey brother, good too see a video from you, have a good holiday.

He's back ! Yay !

Thanks for your informative video. I have a couple of questions. First, is it possible to upload books (Pdf and Epub) that I did buy to Kindle Scribe? Second, can I copy a text from Pdf or E book to my notes?

Good Lord it's been a long time!

He's back! Hope all is well.

My first time on your channel and really enjoyed the video. Great content and production quality. I purchased a Kindle scribe on sale for 240 bucks, which I think is quite fair for the device!

Hey. Welcome back. I actually miss you.

Hi harris.. is kindle scribe friendly for left handed user? but looking at your review seem like very friendly used for both side hand

Thanks for this

I replaced the iPad with Kindle Scribe, and I felt 80%satisfied. My needs are very clear: reading, taking notes. The deficiencies are not enough optimization of PDF, not comfortable reading the literature.

Is there a way that you can email a copy of your notes or does it have to stay on the device? Good review!!

Harris Craycraft Thank you very much!

Do we have to change the tip on the Staedler like the one on the amazon pen?

Got a Amazon Fire 8. Love it.

Hope you have been well brother

I don't find it good for my purposes, but hopefully they fix it. I work with large pdfs and need to be able to mark them up, take notes etc. You can upload them in kindle format or keep the native pdf format, but either format has some serious limitations. I have an the first gen. remarkable too, and don't like it because no back lit display.

How’s the “Beat up Martin” test?

I have been thinking about start using a smart notebook but my handwriting is very small... Any consideration about this issue?

Does it sync notes across devices, i.e. from the Scribe to your phone app, etc.? You can only write it marginalia on some texts, correct?

hey, can you flip pages when you've written notes on this ? So if Ive got 5 pages of notes, can it flip to the next note page with a click of a button ?

What do you think of Kindle Scribe at $240 with premium pen? They are having a pretty big sale right now. I was thinking of getting one.

Does it fit a standard full page of two-column research article paper?

Max uoload file size is 200MB ! So not able read pdfs above 200mb. Without sd card, all personal pdfs must be uploaded ... only personal drive is 5 Gb for those documents?

WE’RE BACK

Thx for the tip! I have an s pen from my fold 4. :) just got the sale for 239 on amazon. Could make a vid on it... cheers!

As a someone who studies philosophy, the problem I really had with kindle scribe is that u literally cannot open longs pdf with images (I mean scanned books) and that's really a shame.

Can you print the notes/journals you write?

I really tried to like this scribe, but, it’s too limited for me. The iPad really solves all of my issues…it’s color, I can split the screen to have a book on one side, Goodnotes on the other. I was disappointed.

We have the same van Gogh case 😮

very nice ❤

you should review the remarkable!

Hey Harris. First time on your channel due to the Kindle Scribe. Man hope I will get answer from you or anybody else who has a Scribe and can compare with my experience. I got a problem of the display on the right edge of the screen (anywhere between 5 - 0mm) not registering properly the pen interaction - like writing in those areas or tapping on the toolbar. There is definite difference with how the screen recognises the pen strokes on the left edge of the screen, where works with no problem. So in order to get the right edge work properly I am forced to apply more pressure on the display with the pen. Kinda gets really annoying when you use the toolbar a lot or you see your pen skipping. The problem was worse in the third party case where probably the magnets messed things up even more. But even outside the case the problem persists, albeit in a smaller degree. Could you guys please check how its on your Scribes?

what about the screen ? I use wacom tablets and a pen, and over time as I've been using the tablet got scratched. And as far as I knowm the screen is using a plastic surface. How about the durability while using the pen?

Thank U for your video do I have to put paperlike on tne kindlescibe to a better writing experience ?

What storage did you get? Do you think it is enough for you?

I love ❤️ the way you edit ✍🏾 your videos I love 💗 watching your videos I’m your biggest fan you make awesome 🤩 😎 👏🏾 videos

how do you add send to kindle to your amazon bar

Nice ‘stache my guy!

Please lower the background music. It s too loud

"Is there a function to view PDF pages in full?"

I love the idea, I ordered it for regular price which is insane for what it is. Returning it without openings the box and wait for $100 discount. I can't justify spending $600+ without case for tablet that can't sync with any cloud provider or ability to write on books. Huge deal in 2024, it find it crazy Amazon in this age sucks so bad in areas that should be obvious at this stage. They should have a banner welcome to last century technology, sry we are out of money so it will suck for a long time. Cloud who?

I like the hat.

It is very hard to hold, I had to use the case as well.

I put a popsocket on the back of mine which has a clear case on it, the socket is on the case not my actual device for holding it. It is bigger than the typical e-reader but, I use for work notes and to have a book access for when I want to read.

i set the side button to be the eraser, painful without it

FACIAL HAIIIRRRRRR!!!!!!!!???????? Where have I been!?

I don't like it is too square-ish, a little bit larger would be great

The price on this thing and the remarkable 2 make absolutely no sense. They use mobile tech from 2011 with a e-ink screen that can't be "that" expenisve. So why do these things cost an arm and a leg? A remarkable costs more than my 4k 240hz, mini led (over 1100 dimming zones),32" monitor. That just makes no fkn sense to me. A remarkable costs as much as a mid tier phone or a cheaper desktop. It's e-ink which isn't that expensive of a technology. With hardware froim 2011 or something. They can't even bother to give the devices hardware that's smooth enough for the menu to be super responsive and more capable.

One thing I have yet to see covered in a review with the Scribe. I know you can use the software to transfer documents to the Scribe for mark up, but what about transferring hand written notes from a meeting to your computer (not using any document mark up)? Does it convert your notes to text or is an image?

Everytime you come back you look older which makes me feel old 😭

Absolutely won’t ever buy a kindle. Awesome video though 🦅

You look like country Justin Timberlake

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

This is a garbage device. Buggy as heck and customer service from Amazon is useless.

We all don't want the same thing's

without eraser is not only worthless, itis damaging on your time, enegy and peace of mind because it is a writing tablet, ypu will need to erase something after some time. what would you do instead. cross line everything you wrote and you would erase otherwise? that pen will eventally end up in the garbage bin, believe me and it will happen wayyyyy before it's end of life product... or repleaceble tip

A little too whiny for my taste. I doubt any product meets his loft standards

hm, but why woldnt i go for the ipad then?
