Amazon Kindle Scribe | Long Term Review

[@VladimirKostek]

The base Scribe is on a prime day sale right now ( almost 110$ off) amzn.to/45XPobD

[@Luix]

at least somebody is doing long term reviews

[@VladimirKostek]

Hope it was helpful!

[@BrasicOne]

One the key scribe notes features that nobody mentions is being able to create folders , and folders within folders. This allows the organising of your notes into multiple notebooks all contained within a higher level folder. The key benefit of this is being able to group note books within a logical hierarchy. This isn’t possible in the library part for books though, where only one layer of collections is allowed. I hope they will bring new features to notes such as labels for fast searching of relatable notes. Also, I would like to see the ability to a) change the template style for pages within the same notebook, and b) a way of creating custom templates for forms used over and over… like log sheets. I totally agree about the eraser which for a fifty euro pen is rather dissatisfying. An auto date feature for notes pages would be nice too.

[@VladimirKostek]

An auto date feature would be nice for temporal based notebooks. You are right layered 📂 organization is nice, I talk about this in the interview with my friend Olivia briefly. It's nice Amazon has been pretty steady in upgrading features thus far.

[@ch3ckm8]

The pro with this style of book annotation is that you can review all of your notes and highlights easily because kindle compiles it for you

[@VladimirKostek]

That's true, fair point for sure! I think it'd be nice to have both options

[@Alexchii]

What's preventing compiling notes written directly on the page?

[@vladikostek]

@Alexchii Not 100% sure but my guess is formatting. Perhaps they'll change things in 2024...

Thank you for addressing why they probably don’t make writing on a book available (the resizing issue)…. That’s a very legitimate reason.

[@VladimirKostek]

No problem, another viewer made a good point too... the notes they have make it so that you can see a consolidated view too of what notes you took. Marking up individual pages would make that much harder. Still think it would be nice to have both options eventually. We'll see what Amazon can cook up this next year!

Awesome. Which version did you go for?

[@realronj]

Just a word of warning, you might reconsider using metallic nibs. I have used metallic nibs but they're a different brand from the video. Careful on the pressure because you can scratch the screen. I have barely noticeable scratches on my Scribe so I stopped using metallic nibs.

[@hikari105]

thx for the review! i fell in love with the 'e-ink' technology after watching Unbox Therapy's video on the Remarkable 2. with the spring semester of college approaching, i really want to use this as my primary notetaking device because it makes it so much easier to 1) save/organize notes and 2) eliminates the possiblity of losing notes or misplacing them. unfortunately the amazon discount disappeared today and the base model, 16GB, is back to $339. I guess I'll wait until the new year where they'll hopefully resume the deals again. Looks so so cool! not a bookworm but i'd love to try reading if i get this piece of tech.

[@VladimirKostek]

That's annoying...I checked this morning and it was still on sale so they must have ended it this afternoon. Yea, having all your notes I one place is great and it's like smart paper. Being able to shift things around with the lasso or convert to written text makes it much better than normal notebooks. A joy to use. Keep tracking it though I'm sure it will go on sale again soon. I'll be posting another vid on the scribe/reMarkable later this week!

[@Metrodragon]

I got my scribe here in Germany for around 220 bucks. Basic configuration and it was refurbished (impossible to tell, not one scratch or fingerprint was visible). I like every other ebook note-taking device that is out there probably more, but as you said, Amazon is the only company that can afford to loose money on selling these devices, and at this price no other device can compete for me.

[@VladimirKostek]

Yea good point, which ones do you like more?

[@ivvie1452]

Hi! When you go to the native notes app and type a text with the keyboard, does it allow you to edit that text? I'm asking because I got Boox Note Air 3 and it just slaps the typed text on like a picture. You cannot move, resize it, select it. Unless you delete the page, there is no getting rid of it. Does Scribe do that?

Great overview and comparison with other devices. Amazon has a sale again, so I ordered yesterday.

Thank you. This was excellent. I own (and love) the Scribe, but would one day consider adding one (or more, lol) of the other devices you mentioned. I am hoping Amazon will come out with a color version of the Scribe, especially helpful with books that contain illustrations. I would also love to see the ability to highlight and copy part of a text in a book and paste it onto a note in the Notebook section. I don't think that is doable yet. Is it easy enough to load Kindle books onto the other devices you mentioned here? I have heard mixed comments on this. Again, thank you for this excellent and thorough review. Merry Christmas!

[@VladimirKostek]

Hey Lou, glad you are liking your scribe! Which version did you get? I too would like to see a color scribe someday, my guess is that it won't be for a while as amazon continues to refine their software. I would gather they would make one when Kaleido 4 comes out, color e-ink tech is currently on Kaleido 3 which is surprisingly good but not great. The highlighting you mentioned would be awesome too. For the kindle app, Supernote and Boox have direct integration. I am absolutely LOVING the Supernote A6 X2 Nomad, incredible little device.

[@VladimirKostek]

Please note that for PDFs you can annotate on them. Another viewer also made a good point that seeing all of your notes in one place can be nice for one book, which the sticky-notes offer as a comprehensive view, I think that's a solid point. I'd personally like to have the option of both but we'll see if they add that!

[@CodyAvant]

Great product. Only complaint is the usb port placement. It’s a weak point that’s prone to making the device bend. Hope next iteration moves it to corner. Higher white levels and on device ai text to speech would be sick (although they’d. ever do because they own Audible).

I will be interested to see your thoughts on the A6X2 Nomad. I’m looking for an all-in-one device and recently canceled my A6X2 order to try out the Scribe first because I was worried about the lackluster reading experience on the A6X2. I’m kind of regretting canceling now because I prefer the A6X’s size and it seems like the PDF annotation is more fleshed out.

[@VladimirKostek]

It's a really cool device! I will say the scribe is generally one of the better devices solely for e-reading with the frontlight. I found the PDF annotation to be generally pretty good on it too. The Nomad is quite solid too though, I'd say it really is a matter of size preference. Also if you prefer nicer pens the Supernote wins hands down, using my heart of metal 2 pen rn. I'll be putting out a short this week of the nomad and my first larger video on it will be a drawing livestream, I'm working with Supernote to first improve the atelier app a bit. If you want more in depth content rn I would point you to Kit Betts-Masters or Brandon Boswell's channels. I will do a full review of the Nomad eventually, but I only feel comfortable reviewing a device after some months minimum so I get to know it better. If you have any direct questions on the nomad feel free to ask here or on any future videos I put out on it 👍

How does it compare to the Onyx Note Air 2 or the 3C (color version)? I searched your channel but only found reviews for the Remarkable 2. I've subscribed! Looking forward to your review of the Supernote

[@VladimirKostek]

The Note Air 3C is next on my list of tablets I'd like to own, specifically for productivity apps on android like notion, excel and using it as a second monitor for my laptop. I mentioned it here because I think they are the best option if you want a tablet replacement with notetaking/e-reader abilities. If you just want something for notes or reading then the scribe/reMarkable/kindle are great options. If you want more info on the 3C I would point you to my friends @KitBetts-Masters or @BrandonKBoswell here on YT, they have made a lot of content on that already.

Re the undo/ersaer functions. I don't think the lasso could delete at the time you made this video. Now that it does, I use that as my main undo/erase.

[@VladimirKostek]

That's a good point Amanda, I use that feature in that way for my rM2 sometimes too!

[@zero11010]

9:20 since you have two pens … you could let one function like a pencil with an eraser and the other like a pen with the other tip you’re talking about. No eraser on a pen. It even makes logical sense. I don’t know if I even own a real pencil. I think in the last 5 years the only erasers I’ve used have been at work on a whiteboard. Nearly all of the writing I do is with pen or digital with a keyboard. Math … if I’m doing math I use a pencil. And, well, computers do my math now.

[@VladimirKostek]

Haha you are certainly right about that, pencils are much less used nowadays. Funny you mention the two modes of the pencil/pen, I'm planning a vid on that with my rM2. Great 🧠's think alike 💡. I have the eraser pen that I keep the normal nibs in to simulate a pencil and then the metallic one in the base pen they have with no eraser. I use the base pen on my scribe too as a pen replacement. Easier than swapping out the tips all the time! You could do the same with the base scribe pen as it's pretty inexpensive 🖊

[@danielcolucci692]

Regarding the screen, does the pen end up scratching the surface thinking of long use? How do you know when it's time to change the pen tip? Tks!

[@VladimirKostek]

Hey Daniel, It does not. For the standard tips you will start to feel when the nib is worn out from the look of it and the feel as well. Hard to describe but you will know when its time for a replacement. The time it will take really depends on how much you use it. I've been using the metal tips I mentioned for the past 2 months and have no damage so far either with those. Hope that helps!

Question for someone who is rather new to E-Notebooks - does the pen (writing or erasing) tend to leave markings/scratches on the screen?

I still think best bang for buck the premium pen with a normal nib is great. It has the erase and the button feature. If you wanted to buy a second stylus to make it like a pen just buy the standard scribe one with no eraser and add a metal nib. Just be weary that it is possible to scratch with a metal nib if you write very hard, in which case you might want a screen protector. Pens are a big rabbit hole haha, you could get the Dr grip emr and add a metallic nib to that too if you prefer ergonomics but then it wouldn't fit in the transport folio.

Hey Vladimir. One thing I would like to ask you check for us - if you try writing with the pen on Scribe at the very edge of the right side of the screen - with very low pressure, do you feel like the screen there is less sensitive to the pen than on other parts of the screen? And how does that compare with your Remarkable? Unfortunately my Scribe has that issue and I heard some other users had the same experience.

[@VladimirKostek]

Hey Victor, unf this is a design flaw of a lot of these devices. Specifically, the electro-magnetic resonance in the pens has interference with the same magnets that are used to attach them 🤣 I'd say it's about the same as the reMarkable for what it's worth. The supernote has resolved this by moving the 🧲 to the top where the bezel is larger for the folio and the pen attaches via a loop on the folio instead of a magnet on the side.

When you like at the notes for a good book they'll show up all in a list style making it easier to see them in an overview. Something that is impossible to do with in-page writing.

[@chiburu_uchinanchu]

@@VladimirKostek actually I didn't even know kindle had a larger version until a few days ago lol. I have the smaller version already. My main goal would be to read books on a larger screen and occasionally jot down notes. I don't journal at all or use an e-ink tablet for work so I wouldn't need a kobo or remarkable. I thought the boox was interesting bcuz I could download the kindle app and still read my books. It also has speakers and voice recording features.

[@VladimirKostek]

@chiburu_uchinanchu yea boox is great for productivity, you just have to determine if you'll use all those features. Apps can be distracting so think of what your goal is with it.

Haha ur right, unintentional I think I was just leaning over to see what she was doing and was right next to the camera 😂

[@terriersforever23]

Love the scribe,hate that it’s Amazon though lol

[@VladimirKostek]

Because it's Amazon's, that's why you can get them on such good sale

[@terriersforever23]

I know mate was just joking! I love my scribe and mainly bought it for reading on a bigger screen,I have a paperwhite for travel.thanks for the video I’ve subscribed to your channel.

[@VladimirKostek]

@terriersforever23 appreciate that 🙏

[@darumer123]

How can a single person own all the models😂

[@VladimirKostek]

I do own a good amount but there are surprisingly still more I'd like to try jaja

[@darumer123]

Good for us 😺

Your title talks about scribe after using it for a year, but this is really not just about the scribe, it’s about e ink tablets and competitors, really disappointed, will not listen to the channel again if you’re unable to keep integrity between the title and the content

[@VladimirKostek]

That's a fair point, having used the Scribe for over a year and being a long term user of the reMarkable line I thought it would be relevant to include the competition and also other new products. A lot of people looking at the scribe are first time lookers at these e-ink tablets as they turn more mainstream. About 90% of the video is regarding the scribe, but thanks for weighing in. If you choose to stop by again, in the first 30 seconds I will usually address what you can expect me to discuss in the entirety of the video.

[@TRUELiGHTERS]
