This is my friend's second Kindle. kzbin.infoUgkxOnUR4NaproSbBbD2sdI4XcDZ58Jz8GOx The first one which is about 5 or 6 years old quit charging because the bottom connector went bad. When I saw they upgraded to a USB C connector I knew it was time. I think the old USB Micro connectors are a PIA. Her new one is great. It synced right out of the box and connected to WiFi immediately. The thing is perfect! Sooo mine will arrive tomorrow. (Been reading off an old Fire) What bugs me are the reviewers that give this product one star because it didn't work out of the box or they were too dumb to figure it out. If it doesn't work send it back and get another one. It couldn't be easier with Amazon. Giving it one star because it didn't work says nothing about a good one that does work. I bet a bad one is one in a thousand or more. Give it a break...just get another one.

[@donnascanlon28]

Afterr lusting after the Kindle Scribe, I succumbed to a fantastic lightning deal. I love it. I review books for ALA's review journal, which are now all pdfs that did not play well with Kindle. Now I can read the pdfs without adjusting every page, write my review in a notebook, and send a text version to myself to copy and paste into the review form. E-books are a pleasure, too, and I've only scratched the surface of what I can do with the notebooks. One of the best investments I have ever made.

[@surendarvijay2520]

Perhaps my only purchase that gave me more than I expected. I knew I could back Amazon to do it right.

It would be interesting if the device had a speech to text , and a read aloud feature as well.

He’s just checking if we’re paying attention 😂. Seriously I was listening to this in the background and did a double take like “hol up”

[@Never_again_against_anyone]

It is quite promising how the Kindle versions develop. Still decided to go with a new Paperwhite signature edition as replacement of my old kindle. The Scribe can certainly be nice, if you really use the features and - for many - if it finally gets a handwriting to text function. And if you can live with the weight. I guess it might annoy me. But for others like me who will not make much use of the functions it is too pricey. I just want to read, I hope that when the new Paperwhite turns old in a few years there will be an updated version of the Oasis.

[@raskarl]

I really want an upgraded version of the Oasis as well. I kind of miss my page turn buttons when using the Paperwhite SE

[@aadamblanco]

Great video and review! I laughed when you said “pountain fen” at 3:48. 😅 You did a great job laying out all the features for us!! Well done.

[@norabellerose8560]

I write a lot! I have multiple notebooks for different subjects and before it gets too out of hand, I’ll buy the latest version of the premium scribe as a Christmas gift for myself. I’ll have it just for writing only and import backups to my apple notes.

[@ksumar]

Did you get this Kindle device? How was the experience.

[@eriketropolski4248]

I've had this device for 2 weeks now. It is missing some basic settings like how long to wait before going to standby, or how to enlarge system fonts. The blacks are not really black but grey and when you read a PDF is it painfully visible. The default contrast is not as good as it was on my previous kindle which is a very old model. I wanted it to read PDF files and I find the process tedious. The two finger enlargement actually is hard to control. The text goes to very big very fast. About the notes. Did you notice the author keeping his hand above the surface while writing? That is because if you have more than one page, it tends to go backwards to the previous page if you rest your palm on it. The writing experience is great really the feeling of it and the speed of the marker. But overall for me this device is too expensive for what it can offer. Look at the details when you decide.

[@bhushankaduful]

Exactly my thoughts too.. wonder if there is any other device or solution where we can rest the palm while writing? Else its not worth for me to write so awkwardly

[@chaos.corner]

I have, and still use, the Kindle Touch with text to speech. When Amazon removed text to speech from Kindle, they lost a customer. Reading some of the comments, I saw that this Kindle does have text to speech, but, for me, the features do not justify the price.

[@chaos.corner]

You can do text to speech on the paperwhite. You need a bluetooth speaker and it's in the accessibility settings.

[@whitreader]

As a reading device it lacks the ability to remove books from the home page to the library where the collections are. Organizing your books is important so the home page isn't being cluttered with new books you have purchased or books you have read but don't need them on the home page any longer. The Kindle App on the iPhone, iPad, and Fire have the capability to remove the books back to the library and into collections. Amazon software writers please help the reader have the control for a more pleasant reading experience.

Do you think that a 7.8 inch scribe would be even better? It seems awesome, but the size is a limiting factor for me in the reading department since I read mostly in bed with one hand I think would be taxing after a while!

[@6MonthsLater]

That’s where I’d point you to a Kindle Paperwhite. Perhaps they’ll enable the ability to write on the smaller sized Kindle at some point.

[@Penta_Penguin_237]

no, but a 12.9 inches color one would be perfect

[@podcastdude]

A 7.8-inch Paperwhite would be ideal for me.

Yes. It gets a little uncomfortable after a while with one-handed reading.

[@juts89]

Zero interest in the note taking stuff, but I really love just having a big ass kindle to read on. Smallest font size, biggest screen. Its pretty glorious. The battery life is insane. I think the folio cover is pretty crap, contrary to this video. In my experience it is very easy to accidently lever it out of the case and get your face smacked by the kindle. It also offers very litte protection from a drop, as the kindle will 100% always fly out of it.

[@wayahrosecolombo2412]

Wow, I love how writing sounds on it. Putting this device on my wishlist. 😁

[@Luchi_ly]

My galaxy tab s8 has those writing sounds, I love it

[@Seitenwerk]

Better get an iPad with a paperlike screen protector, you get the same writing feel but with endless more capabilities. I think the price for this is really too much for what it offers. Bein its basically just a kindle for only reading, with added note taking application, but nothing else. If you could do more with it than just creating a new note and write something down then ok. But 300$ extra just for pen an note is too much.

[@MCstutta]

You make a funny mistake at 3:40, you say "Pountain Fen" instead of Fountain Pen. 😆

I woudl recommend just getting a perlite screen protector. Then you have the paper non gloss look, plus the paper feel exactly like this. All the benefits of both worlds in one. For the price of over 400$ this kindle is overprices for what it actually offers.

Thank you for the video. The one thing I wonder about is the extra weight over the Kindle paper white. 95% of my use would be reading.

[@chaos.corner]

I usually read in bed, holding the device with one hand. The scribe is indeed a bit heavy after a while and I've switched back to the paperwhite. I would say the scribe was the superior reading experience but the weight is just a touch too much.

[@chaos.corner]

While the Scribe does give a better *reading* experience than the Paperwhite with the larger page, I find that it's just a touch heavy and uncomfortable in my hands after a while when reading in bed. So I'm back to the Paperwhite which I can hold easily even with a protective cover on. It's a neat device though.

[@Verschiedenes]

Why is everybody talking about the ipad all the time? I have a galaxy book and it works really great.

[@ch3ckm8]

because people think owning apple products make them "cool"

[@marsrocket]

Because the iPad is the best selling tablet in the world, and outsells Samsung (all Samsung tablets) nearly 2:1.

[@OndaPiloto]

Samsung has improved a lot when coming to tablets used for writing/drawing, but at this point the iPad Pro is almost industry standard when it comes to graphic work on the go. However for me it has a really big drawback (shared with all tablets): the weight. It is very comfortable on a table, not so much to carry around or write/draw standing up

[@justonefyx]

I just bought a Kindle Paperwhite and about half the pdfs and epubs I've loaded on to it, the Kindle can't read or reads very slowly because they are image heavy. Does the Kindle Scribe have this same problem?

[@freedonx]

Got a question! If you rotate horizontally to write notes, when you rotate back to vertical to read them. Does the screen/notes go all wacky or no change?, What I mean, do they get fixed and can't rotate When writting notes, I prefer more horizontal space, but when I want to read my notes in another ocasion, I prefer to hold the kindle in a vertical position

[@chaos.corner]

The only rotation is 180 degrees for if you hold it upside down. There's no portrait-to-landscape option.

I've had so many Kindles, I don't own any of them now. All had feeling of "something lacking" and tries too hard to "sell you something" through connecting to Amazon Cloud everytime you tried to do something. On the other hand, I enjoy reading using Kobo though it's not as quick and responsive as the Kindle. Everyone is different so this might work for most people while I enjoy reading mostly but need the large screen to read PDFs with backlighting. Comfort lighting is a big plus that makes you feel like you're actually reading a paper book. Just my two cents.

[@6MonthsLater]

Try an e-ink Android tablet from a brand like Onyx or maybe look at those made by Remarkable or Kobo to see if they can backup to OneDrive or Google Drive. I’m not as familiar with non-Kindle ones but it’s a category we’re looking to get more into later this year as new models come out - Josh.

that has to be a typo. That's not what other reviewers say. It's more like 1-2 weeks. I think this review didn't really use this device... smh

Nope, not a typo. 3-4 months, screen on for at least an hour per day. It does drain a bit faster if you’re writing on it constantly, so if you’re writing hours per day, you might see worse battery life but that’s still very impressive compared to a normal tablet. - Josh

@@ch3ckm8 I use mine in airplane mode, so ymmv but mine lasted many months on its first charge. I got through 5-10 books and it was at like 30%, it only got charged at that point because i was transferring a file to it and left it plugged in.

This price point competes with iPad. And the iPad is much much better. I wish this is cheaper. Otherwise just get an iPad Mini which is awesome.
