Kindle Scribe - 10 Best Features! ( Tips & Tricks )

[@andreaburg4842]

I just got the scribe today. As a 51 yr old who has decided to go to nursing school, I thought this would be the best tool for all the things that I need to learn. This video helped me so much when attempting to learn how to navigate this devise. Thanks you so much.

[@CrazyAsianDude]

Yes Andrea! That's amazing. How are you now? How is your note taking experience with the Kindle scribe?

[@Aj-me8mo]

good luck! nursing school is tough but not impossible, I graduate this may from RT School!

[@fernandasanabria3963]

Hi! how was your experience taking notes and downloading books for school?

[@lynndee3568]

I am 51 and I am thinking of starting nursing school...how difficult has it been for you?

[@MrLausell]

I got my Kindle Scribe from my son as a 2 in 1 gift (Father's Day and birthday). I'm a retired MD and I am enjoying it thoroughly. Thanks for the straight-to-the-point tutorial.

[@WhatGear]

Apologies for the quantity of this video. I filmed half of it in an air bnb with a terrible mic & the second half in a different one

[@SuperMCRrocker]

There is no need my friend, you probably have the best working review of this product around, not kidding!

[@thatchristianstuff]

You’re the first to mention the popular highlights, out of all the reviews I’ve watched so far. Thank you.

[@OhhhhLola]

2 years later and your tips are still helpful. Thank you!

[@ericyoung3183]

Thrilled by this detailed yet on-point video. This mediatek driven kindle with 300 PPI Paperwhite display and display pen has my heart.

[@sheri2554]

Thank you for getting quickly to the point in your videos . I am definitely not a devise geek so I would appreciate more tips on the Scribe. As a Senior lady, your clear directions and examples are quite helpful!

[@joannedavies4958]

I think that's one of the best videos I've seen on Kindle Scribe. Thanks :) !

[@andreww6738]

Thanks for sharing these features. Just received my KScribe yesterday, and this device is awesome. Your tips and tricks will certainly help me enjoy this device even more. Just new using Kindle, my brother has had one for years and can't put it down. So I'm sure this will be great adventure, THANKS again. AW😊

[@taylorwoolwine7718]

3:29 “but then, neither were cave walls” line was great!

[@kellymcmillan4305]

Best review I have seen and could understand it for a 66 year young person. Thank you

[@mariahalderete6273]

Omg i just got mine today and tbe whisper sync... i think i may be in love ❤

[@thephoenixking1086]

Update for anyone who watches this after May 2023 - The Pen now does support Pressure Sensitivity and also works on Samsung Devices (the ones that use the S-Pen). The Pen is made by Wacom meaning it will also work with some Wacom devices aswell (and Wacom Pens, the S-Pen etc. Will also work on the Kindle). Example: If you prefer the feel of the smaller S-Pen from Samsung's Note Line, you can use that on this tablet and it will work EXACTLY the same though the button on the side may not work.

[@fkeopfkeop]

Hello, when creating a document for note taking on the device, can you add pages to it later?

[@DigitalDesignsbyPJ]

Yes you can.😉

[@bi2u4787]

Can you please mention what case are you using in the video for scribe ?

[@AP3_d]

Another use of Whispersync is for using Audible on multiple devices. The book you're listening to (same account) will carry on at the same point, whichever device you use (kindles or kindle app on mobiles). But if two people are listening to the same book, the trick is to keep an eye on the screen when you open the book. A message tells you it's picking up at the point the other device left off but also has a box to 'undo'. It disappears straight away so you have to catch it! (Found this out because my husband and I listen to the Bible read by Simon Bubb - he reads it carefully in an English accent!) From the UK. Not prejudiced against American accents - I also listen to Johnny Cash reading the New Testament on KZbin!

[@chuckyjules8488]

Very nice and informative review for new Scribe owners like myself!

[@neosandi6]

Does anyone know how to increase the sleep mode time out on a Scribe? When I am using it for note taking and there is no activity for a while it will go into sleep mode and it takes too much time to re-enter password and jot down the note

[@m.watson708]

Thanks for the review. I just purchased the Oasis because i couldn't wait but this is still pretty cool aa well & might just have to pick it up as well.

[@jayj9278]

3:45 little did the tortoise know... the snail was turbo himself

[@WhatGear]

The Harrods management turbo’d me out of the building for drawing that sketch lol…no sense of humour 😂

[@cjlst8]

Does it have the ability to create text format from hand written notes?

[@WhatGear]

Unfortunately not yet. Hopefully with a future update

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I just got a Scribe delivered yesterday and I’m trying to find my way around so this was helpful, thank you. Ive been reading ebooks on my iPad with the kindle app and I like to scroll rather than turn the page but I can’t work out how to do that on my Scribe, do you know if there’s a way to set that please?

[@Johnluthecomposer]

Thank for the video! So imformative. Mind sharing the model of that protective case? It looks really good!

[@Samanthadepem]

Perfect video!!! thank you!!!

[@Louise-t4i]

When listening to audiobooks can you connect headphones ?

[@WhatGear]

Yes

[@jakibotham5600]

yes with bluetooth

[@rahuljain-vu7lc]

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.

[@LoneRaccoon13]

So all these tips are a sell for me, but for someone who reads books daily, and needs to take notes, so far this has everything I need in one place except im looking to start writing novel, how would this do for writing a book?

[@lalawson7]

Can you please send a link regarding alternative Wacom stylus? Thanks.

[@simplesenser]

Can I use" looking up the meaning" function in German?

[@drmshanks]

Would like step by step for "send to kindle". I was not able to learn enough to use.

[@leakogan7633]

2:59 I don’t see the handwriting icon what should I do?

[@nikhilreddy2109]

Hi, can we upload physics and maths textbooks and read them in scribe

[@WhatGear]

Yes if you covert the to the correct format

[@nikhilreddy2109]

so what formats are accepted by scribe @@WhatGear

[@priyankadasgupta5632]

Can you share the link for your kindle scribe cover?

[@frozengamer3030]

Is it worth buying if you own an ipad and a kindle.

[@WhatGear]

For me the primary use is as a notepad that will be a permanent fixture on my work desk. So for me it is. It really depends on how you use it.

[@m.watson708]

No..

[@ohiopics]

I have the Paperwhite, iPad 12.9 M1, MacBook M1 Pro 16”, iPhone 13 ProMax….and just got my Scribe. The Scribe’s battery life, and note taking as it sits, will replace paper in my life. No distractions with the Kindle Scribe…and those notes once synced will be accessible via the Kindle app. Duplication between devices, yes, but the Scribe is a perfect addition I believe. Different tools for different tasks.

[@passionatetechnology8306]

I just bought one as a replacement for my kindle DX from 2011. I have a kindle paper white signature edition and now this. It’s worth it to me because I always enjoyed having a large kindle for reading my books and have the smaller kindle paperwhite for when I am by a pool or hanging out in a bathtub and reading since the paperwhite is water proof where the kindle DX and Scribe are not. Amazon is offering a 20 percent discount for trade in of older devices that are no longer supported for whispersync.

[@LisaTao]

Probably not unless you want a bigger screen kindle and budget is no issue.

[@chrishyde1216]

I assume the screen is easier on your eyes as it's lit from the side rather than backlit. If I can load all types of document, then I'm tempted.

[@Aj-me8mo]

why not just get an iPad at that point? the scribe is around $300 dollars and it cant even do all the things that an iPad can do

[@chrishyde1216]

​@@Aj-me8mo...or a Samsung Tab S8 or 9?

[@Aj-me8mo]

@@chrishyde1216 I'm not too familiar with android tablets but I'm pretty sure they can do just as much. The 340 price point for the scribe is a joke

[@ollyhal]

4:21 what type of keyboard is that on your laptop?

[@WhatGear]

It’s a Keyboard cover from Editors Keys

[@fredlaxton]

You can access the control center without two taps - just drag down from the top of the screen - just one step

[@mykmartinez]

Does anyone find that the pen tip scratches the screen at all over time? I own iPads and some screen protectors do get scratched like "Rock Paper, Pencil." Brand... etc Just need to know if I need a screen protector? Thx

[@mohanpatel8524]

can we record video of its screen?

[@GadZookz]

Can it translate written notes into text?

[@WhatGear]

Unfortunately not yet. You either hand write or type or both.

[@GadZookz]

@@WhatGear thanks!

[@WhatGear]

@@GadZookz fingers crossed that Amazon adds this in a future update

[@ohiopics]

Keep in mind, you can have iOS convert that handwriting from the Scribe into your Apple devices

[@WanderingFriar]

Its really a gama changer for me. Had it about 3 months now and wonder how I did without it all these years.. So, you got thrown out of Harrods, huh? 🤣😂🤣

[@vojdanandonov998]

Why does every click on the menus make the device look like it's glitching, with black/white flashes? Why is there so much lag on every action (except the writing, thankfully)? Look at 1:12 .

[@tecnobrenda]

i think these flashes are very common to kindle devices . these are screen refreshes. since kindle devices relies on electronic ink (that works in a magnectic way, i think²) it helps to make text and images not leaving ghost marks behind. it cleans the screen for new incoming information and pages, such as menus and brand new texts. for writing and drawing, i believe it isn't necessary after all because doing those things are much more like a ">build-up< from scratch" approach from the pen than a refreshing one from navigating menus and pages. edit: i'm not 100% sure if what i said is completely correct, just saying from my personal experience of owning a kindle. hope it helped!

[@melc900]

I guess it's like shaking an etch a sketch 😄

[@borusa32]

Thanks for the review-this is rather too expensive for a digital doodle pad added to an e reader.

[@WhatGear]

It’s also kind of an MP3 player 😀

[@heidis2330]

its worth it. i love mine. and if you factor in the cost of the pen its no tbad

[@tikvagold9150]

What about voice capability Iwas promised

[@RAMIEID1]

Writing on PDF is not enabled!

[@melc900]

Oh I didn't realise it was a wacom stylus

[@yana-9735]

can mirror macbook screen?

[@wojtekkowal2652]

not every unit got 32gb storage, there are 16gb versions

[@melc900]

"But neither were cave walls" 😂😂

[@TheShapingSickness]

The blue light/warm light thing is a myth.

[@ValorantRivals]

you’re a myth!

[@elliotsgirl23]

A myth is just an invalidated fact lol

[@ValorantRivals]

@@elliotsgirl23 That’s redutionistic, a myth has meaning, a metastory accepted as a goal, like “moving a mountain” is impossible, but the meaning has nothing to do with the fact that a mountain can’t be moved. I can move mountains! And the fact-of-the-matter is, I have invalidated YOU!

[@heidis2330]

i don't want to be a party pooper but all this is common sense knowledge. Kindles are easy to figure out

[@RemunaDeviDasi]

For aged people, this is not common sense knowledge at all. What you did in the comment is humblebrag ;-p
