Why I pre-ordered a Kindle Scribe

[@TheSmellworthyReport]

I pre-ordered and I’m looking forward to it! I don’t care about the writing capabilities, I always wanted a hardcover sized kindle.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Yeah I’m really intrigued but the idea of writing on it, but I’m not sure I’ll use the feature that much

[@troytradup]

I'm very curious to hear your thoughts when the Scribe arrives. I came so very close, but the more I watched the preview videos the more convinced I became that the writing capability won't be all that functional (in the way I would want it to be). That big screen, though -- I'd be all over that. The screen on my later-generation Oasis is just slightly larger than the Paperwhite's, but even that tiny bit is very noticeable.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Hope to be sharing thoughts soon! It’s definitely the size of the screen which is the big draw for me

[@EmsBookNookMI]

If it were in the budget, I’d absolutely grab one. I look forward to seeing what you think of it!

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Thanks Em! Hope to be sharing my thoughts soon.

[@dianemorasco]

Happy reading, Olly. Here's to books. 📚

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Absolutely!

[@mayflowermatriarch5284]

I am very much wedded to reading on my iPad - I dedicated my old iPad to reading [kindle and pdfs] and turned off notifications, etc.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Ah that’s a smart way of doing it!

[@heidifogelberg3544]

Hi, Olly - I gave up justifying book related purchases years ago. When I was 10 or so, I had the opportunity of watching my mother's regret at not purchasing a book about the Tudor Dynasty from a university bookstore. She was married to a graduate student and had 4 small children, and my father did not support his wife working outside the home (except on his graduate coursework, but that's a separate story). She would genuinely have had difficulty finding the cash to buy the book, but she regretted it for years. Meanwhile, she read literally everything she could get her hands on about the Tudor world. I believe she could have gone toe to toe with most US based historians in her knowledge of the literature, though she never had a chance to do original research or that kind if thing. Anyway, since then, if I've had the $, I've very shortly had the book. Of course, now I'm older and faced with going through 3generations of book worm acquisitions and there is pain there, because honestly houses only have so much wall space for bookcases, plus there is all that mass when moving .... Anyway. Short answer, no, you're not an idiot. Clearly you can afford it, and you're solving problems with the purchase, and digital books are So Much Easier to pack ...

[@CriminOllyBlog]

That's a great story about your mum. Sounds like she didn't let the lack of that book hold her back. And yes, ebooks are WAY easier to pack!

[@davebrzeski]

Just wait until you reach the stage when you can't get any more bookshelves in the house, and you can't get at the books that are on the ones you have because there are too many boxes, and heaps of books in front of them! 🙂

[@heidifogelberg3544]

@@davebrzeski yeah. these are familiar pains ...

[@scp240]

I've been using my iphone for most of my kindle reading and despite the small size of the screen it works just fine and I'm able to use it just about everywhere since I always have my phone with me. I have 3 kindles which I hardly ever use so I don't think I'll be purchasing another one unless it has some special features, I'll be watching your unboxxing videl!

[@CriminOllyBlog]

The always with you aspect of the phone is definitely a big plus

[@craigpartain]

I love the two-column landscape mode format too. Whether or not the Scribe supports that reading format is probably going to be the deciding factor in if I get one or not.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

I really hope it does, it would seem a pretty massive omission if it doesn’t

[@JasonFuhrman]

It was really difficult for me to not pre-order the Scribe. I'm an early adopter of tech as well. This time I'll wait to see how the reviews pan out, so looking forward to hearing your impressions when you get it.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Yeah I was tempted to wait because it’s a totally new kind of device for them, but in the end I couldn’t resist

[@dcmsr5141]

I rediscovered the love of reading, and being frugal I used my phone. Then I graduated to a big screen/multi tasking iPad Pro. Unfortunately, I too have succumbed to the eye strain. Heretofore, the Paperwhite Signature vs. Kindle Scribe, Awaiting reviews of the latter, as I'm sure you and others will have thoroughly put it through it's paces. I do know there will be a Kindle in the next 2 wks. in my life.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Awesome video, Olly. I'm wanting to get an eReader this year, at least partially for comic/manga reading.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

This feels like it could be the perfect one for that

[@desfarrell909]

Looking forward to your review, I’m thinking of getting one for Christmas 🎉

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Cool! Hope to have one up fairly soon (assuming it does come this week!)

[@ricardias1551]

I have now 4 kindles: a basic 10th generation, a paperwhite 11, a old Oasis, 9th, and now I’ve bought a basic 11th. A great device! Fast, clear and ergonomic, significantly smaller than the old one - and lighter. A shame it doesn’t have color temperature adjustment.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Yes the new basic one does sound really great - upping the PPI on it makes a huge difference

[@krzysamm7095]

I preordered it cause I would love to read Magna on a large e ink screen. The kindle screen that I have is really to small for manga. Plus it would be interesting to see how it will work with using the writing/highlighting capability.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Yeah Manga definitely seems like a good use of it

[@anotherbibliophilereads]

I’m totally interested in the Scribe. I bought the Signature Paperwhite last year and need a strong justification to purchase the Scribe. I truly like larger screen and prefer the eInk to the LCD of my iPad. There was also a rumor last month about a new Oasis, but I’m guessing it will be 2023 if at all, so I’ll probably cave sooner or later.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Amazon certainly seem to have gotten the hang of squeezing every last penny out of us 😂

[@hollyc4624]

Great discussion on the new kindle scribe. I’ve preordered it as well. Basically for the same reasons. I like the bigger screen size but the iPad is heavy after reading for a prolonged time. I’m also wanting to have the ability to annotate while reading on kindle. I’m terrible about taking notes, other than highlighting a passage or sentence. And when reading eArcs that I need to follow up with a review, it would be nice to have real notes and thoughts about what I was thinking at the time I read it. I hope it’s great.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Glad I'm not alone! Really looking forward to seeing what it's like

[@hartereads]

Looking forward to your thoughts! I'm interested in the Scribe but want to see a few reviews first.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

[@johnpauluberto]

I bought one too Olly! You’re not alone in your reasoning, at the end of the day - I love new devices, and rationalized “you’re getting older you need a bigger screen” haha - this from a man who has an Oasis, the new Paperwhite, and the iPad Pro 12.9. Sigh. Haha. Love your channel and love you! John-Paul =^,,^=

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Sometimes we just have to spoil ourselves!

[@shanghaichica]

I also pre-ordered one for similar reasons to you. I like gadgets and I’ve been a fan of kindles since 2010. I also wanted a kindle DX back in the day but they were never available here so I’ve always been interested in a bigger kindle. Mine is coming on Thursday too so I’m looking forward to it.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Yeah I always wanted a DX but at the time I just couldn't justify it.

[@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524]

Yet more proof that Olly's superpower is reading. A superhero needs GADGETS! I'll watch the unboxing video, and I hope you enjoy the new gear. Waaaayyy too expensive for me, but I keep buying lottery tickets. :)

[@CriminOllyBlog]

LOL!

[@DocBree13]

I ordered the new Paperwhite with the Black Friday discount - it’s my 4th Kindle and I’m very excited. The Scribe sounds fantastic and I wish I could get that, too.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

The Paperwhite is a really get device

[@GalaxyFur]

Amazon seems to market the Scribe as a Kindle Paperwhite with just a bigger screen and pen support. But otherwise, it's just a Kindle Paperwhite really from what I have seen of it. Outside of pen support and a bit bigger display, it doesn't seem to offer anything else. And Amazon's description of the device seems to pretty much say this. So I'm curious if people will like it as much as they do the Paperwhite because the price increase over a Paperwhite is quite huge for just a slightly bigger screen and pen support. I'm sure it will find a niche of people that will love it. And I think it will sell decently enough. But I think the majority will still opt for the Paperwhite and basic Kindle by a long shot. I'm also curious if we may see an updated Kindle Oasis in 2023. Or will it be phased out and the Kindle Scribe will fill its spot going forward? The Kindle Paperwhite "Signature Edition" I would argue is the slightly better Kindle over the existing Oasis. So could the 2023 lineup look like this → Kindle Basic edition, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Paperwhite "Signature Edition", and finally at the top the Kindle Scribe to round out the lineup? Either way, it will be interesting to see where the Oasis ends up. 🙂 With this all being said, I just ordered the Kindle Paperwhite "Signature Edition". I can't wait to use it. 😁 And I'm also getting my mom a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas as well. (Upgraded 16GB version) I think she will be very happy. 🙂

[@CriminOllyBlog]

I agree that the Paperwhite is slightly better than the Oasis 3 - I prefer it anyway. As for the future of the Oasis, I think they will keep making them as a way of testing new features. Not sure if we’ll see a new one this year, but I think the next Oasis will be the first kindle with a colour E-ink screen.

[@richardyoung5217]

I have a Samsung Galaxt tab S2 purchased in 2016. Only 32 Gb of memory but you can add an SD card of up to 400 gb. The color screen is very good for watching KZbin videos as well as reading kindle books. Wooks well.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

That sounds like a good device!

[@MadHatch1971]

I've pre-ordered one as well. Everything that has been revealed about it makes it the right device for me. I know it won't be for everyone, but it will work with my workflow.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

I’m interested to see how I can work it into mine.

[@mopnem]

I'm very interested to see how the writing process works. If implemented right, the scribe def has the potential to top the competition which I consider to be the supernote & note airs.

[@TheGrapeJellyLibrary]

Ooooooh! Thank you so much for doing this! I was recently asked by a friend if I could pick something I’ve been wanting what would it be? I said a kindle scribe and the next thing I know they are handing me the money to go get one. They were not available yet so I banked the money. I’ve been so dang busy I totally forgot. 😮 I appreciate this video so much! I’ve heard good and bad. Many people say just use an iPad. 🤔 I agree with your view on annotating.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

[@parlabaneisback]

Sounds intriguing and looking forward to seeing it when it arrives. I prefer to buy non-Amazon eReaders so I won't be taking the plunge for a Scribe, but I imagine other manufacturers will be producing similar soon.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

I do like the idea of being less tied to Amazon, but don’t have the strength to break away!

[@debralenkovskis3656]

I hate Amazon! They always screw op my orders. I prefer the smell of bookstores and libraries and holding a hard copy of a book in my hands. I get so immersed in stories, the world could come to an end around me and I wouldn't notice. I'm not on terms with technology, though it does intrigue me; so I can't wait for the unboxing event to see what you think of this new device. Maybe a few words about how to operate the darn thing would help me reconsider the use of said device. Thanks for responding to these sad postings. Enjoy your new book!

[@CriminOllyBlog]

There is definitely something about physical books which is magical, but ebooks are so convenient! Thanks for watching and commenting, Debra.

[@forenichtreader]

E-ink is great. When I see people disparaging ebooks, I wonder whether they've tried an e-ink device, or whether they've just tried them on a phone or laptop screen, which are nowhere near as good for reading. I currently use a Kobo Libra 2. I went with Kobo because I originally had a Sony e-reader years ago, and when that stopped working I wanted one that was compatible with the epubs I already had. Kobo also works with library ebooks (e.g. from Overdrive or Libby) while Kindle doesn't. I think in the US they have Kindle library ebooks, but not elsewhere - not sure why.

[@authenticpoppy]

Most people have only tried reading ebooks on tablets and it's totally different on an e-ink device. I love my Kobo + Overdrive. I'd be so broke without it.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

I do think e-ink screens feel kind of like magic. I got hooked into the Amazon eco-system early so I'm pretty much stuck with that now. And yes, annoyingly the library thing doesn't work on kindle over here

[@elazardahan903]

Hey there, I'm new to your channel and I have to admit that I like it. I've been considering if I should buy the last new piece of tech from Amazon - the brand new Kindle Scribe; On the hand, I’m a lawyer and the amount of notes that I have to jot down during the day is, well, too many. On the other hand, I purchased a year ago an iPad Pro 12.9. It’s good for everything, however, as you mentioned, the notification can get me out of the way. The second problem is the battery life. To put that nicely - it bad compares to any kind of Kindle. I'd like to hear your thoughts on my dilemma. Your videos are well done.

[@CriminOllyBlog]

Glad you're enjoying the videos. From what I understand of the Scribe so far it's more for casual note taking than the kind of work you're doing. I may be wrong though!

[@SamHarrison2099]

I have been looking at this a lot, but after reading exclusively on an iPad and Kindle Oasis for the past few years I’ve really gotten back in to physical books lately.

Any eye strain comparisons with these? I've read paperwhites are the easiest on your eyes.

I knew it was going to be expensive, but I wasn't expecting it to be that expensive. I love the idea of a bigger screen, with electronic paper, but there's no way I can afford that. It's around double what I could afford, but then I only have a small state pension to live on. I don't need the other features, and I actually dislike the double page view, unless it's necessary for an illustration etc.
