The Kindle Scribe got me WRITING again

[@highrawvegan]

I am grateful for creators like you who take the time to share their knowledge with us. Thanks for sharing!

[@diegoabche]

Update on the Notebook part (As of December of 2023): -you can view all pages created on a single notebook, where you can go to, change order or delete them -There's a "lasso" tool added where you can use it to enclose things you've written/drawn to move around, copy/cut it, and paste it elsewhere (including other pages) -When sharing the notebook to an email there's an extra option you can select to also convert it to text automatically -PDFs files you've downloaded can be written on with the stylus but they are kept on the library rather than on the notebook section.

came here for the scribe review and got really great advice on how to stay positive. I love this channel

Love this video and your positive vibe. I'm grateful to be able to research buying an e ink e_reader when so many people struggle to have basic necessities.

The Kindle is nice and fast too! Lovely tea break.. I'm grateful for the time I have with my family! Nicely done..

1. I am grateful for you sharing about the importance of being grateful 2. I am grateful for journaling 3. I am grateful for the beautiful summer weather in the Pacific Northwest

[@ianwashere12345]

yes, Thankfulness. Thank you for reminding me. Thank God for family, and work. Thank my wife for being so sweet. Since I have realized that I remember things better when I write them by hand I have been studying with a pencil and a notebook. keep the tea break. Send thank you notes, and pray often.

[@numberedpages]

Notebooks don’t just stay on the device, but are sent to amazon’s servers and stored there also. There doesn’t seem to be any way to turn this off. It does make it easy to view docs in a kindle app on ipad or phone, but people should be aware their notebooks are not just saved locally.

[@jacobedsell8850]

You could just keep the device offline right? This may not be an option for everyone, but if that is your concern this could be a solution. Also, all of your KZbin history, comments, and emails are kept on Google's servers. I do get the sentiment, notes are more personal than an email or a youtube comment.

[@masonmalott9788]

You could just email them as a document file

[@philiptom2799]

Can you go back to a note and insert new text?

[@masonmalott9788]

@@philiptom2799 yes

[@andrewjohnson1486]

Honestly, this was a wonderful launch. Good to take notes while you are reading and this mediatek-powered e-reader can edit PDFs as well.

[@CristianMarkovich]

Hey, Josh, I got my Kindle Scribe for my birthday this year in January and it is exactly the type of device I’ve been waiting for all these years. I use it for journaling on the daily and taking the odd notes here and there for work. I’m starting grad school in the fall so I’ll try using it for note taking in class and see how that plays out for me. The battery life is solid and features are right on that sweet spot I’ve been looking for. I purchased a third party case that looks like a composition book so when someone comes into my office they often pay it no mind on my desk. I’m grateful that I have my diabetes under control and that 2023 is shaping up to be one of the best in a long time. Thanks for your time!

[@RafaelRodrigues-rx9ry]

Is it better than a tablet?

[@EobardKhan]

I got the same cover, it's such a nice one! Can't wait for my Scribe to arrive so that I can start journaling and note-taking again. And read a lot of my eBooks.

[@francescotosibrandi3375]

Two days ago, I fully charged my New Kindle Scribe, expecting its renowned battery performance to be on par with my beloved Paperwhite. However, after reading a book for an hour and utilizing the notebook feature for a similar duration, the battery level has already depleted to 80%. This significant drop has left me wondering whether such consumption is normal for this device. Having been accustomed to the impressive battery retention of Paperwhite, I would like to hear your feedback on the matter. Thank you!

[@Hickeroar]

They have now added a lasso selection tool and you can cut and paste chunks of your writing as well. They keep making solid steps forward, which is nice. The official Kindle case is OK, but I replaced it with a nice one that is similar to the classic Kindle Voyage rubberized magnetic case. I've had mine for a few days and I'm using it pretty constantly now.

[@curiousj87]

I'm grateful for your presence, and your time in reviewing this product and making this video 😀

[@javezkeith2537]

The magnetic case is not strong enough to hold the kindle so I used some gaffer tape on the reverse to hold the kindle in place. The writing experience is really good. The extra reading space makes reading far more pleasant than the smaller screens. Joshua videos are always welcome and very well presented. That's my gratitude. X

[@TheTimkunedo]

The magnetic case is holding strong for me. No issues at all.

First time seeing one of your videos. I appreciated the clear style and the little nuggets of wisdom, such as taking time out to reflect on things we are grateful for. Also love the Street Figer II arcade game behind you!! Very well done.

[@justinchong1136]

Thanks. I think you did the best at explaining the difference between reading and writing.

[@tricordcounseling8425]

HI Josh, just found you and loved this review. This, for me, was the review I needed to push me over the top. I've been on the fence between the KS and the R2, and I've made my choice. Thank you for your quality work. I'm a therapist and do a lot of reading (this would be my 4th Kindle) and content creation for my clients. Thank you again for your simplicity and thoroughness.

[@schauzeit]

I got one as a Christmas present to myself and I’ve found it useful for “slow writing” digitally with minimal distraction.

[@bobgriffin316]

I have just ordered a Kindle Scribe. I am hoping that they will copy the ideas of the Supernote. The most important upgrade would be to add linking. That means being able to put hyperlinks in any note to anywhere else in the same note or on a different note or to a PDF.

[@bernardlemay8563]

Thanks for the review! I really like your glasses. I'm grateful that you helped me make up my mind. I think I'll get that device.

[@larryblackmon2341]

I'm late to the party but just replaced my standard Kindle with a Kindle Scribe. I loved the idea of writing on it and when I got it it didn't disappoint. I was blown away when I saw the different page styles. I was then blown away when you showed the different writing utensils and sizes. Seriously I've had mine for a couple of months now and didn't know that but was still very happy. Now I'm totally stoked. Thank you!

[@cynthiaj.simmons870]

I got my Amazon Kindle Scribe for last Christmas 2022 I love it!!! I use it for books but since I'm a knitter and crocheter basically a crafter I use it to jot down notes for my patterns I'm working on or if I run out of row counters I can just write out the rows I'm in for my project!!! 😁📖📚📕🧶❤️

[@kimbelle]

came to the comments for this, i use too many notepads for crafts, lists, gardening, and take notes on pdfs

[@STFUitslaurenzo]

I write my daily gratitudes and goals as well! This video definitely convinced me to get the Scribe as I'm also a reader! Thank you!

[@chillridesjohn]

using the "Three Good Things" method for journaling helps me a lot, hope people who're watching could try this out too, thanks for the reminder Joshua, I love how your videos give me a space to breathe while learning tech at the same time.

[@AJAZZist]

Do you journal on Kindle Scribe or some other device / regular notebook?

[@chillridesjohn]

@@AJAZZist At the moment I'm using a regular notebook, but I'm also interested in using Kindle later on just to try it out.

[@kurtyaz]

Really appreciate how you explained the writing process, my ReMarkable 2 is actually pretty epic.

[@bonitagutierrez757]

I’m grateful for your thoughtful review of the Kindle Scribe. I’m an author looking for a new ereader and thought this one might be good for making notation on my manuscripts.

[@Burps___]

Hi Bonita. If your manuscripts are in MS Word (presumably), how would you upload them to the Scribe? And then, when you make notes on Scribe, you would open the little notes box to read them each time? I’m a writer also, trying to figure this out since the Scribe seems very stand-alone by design.

[@satoshiie]

Wow, I really enjoyed that tea break. It really helped with breaking up all the informational content you were providing into 'two' parts to help process it all. Awesome idea.

[@TheFunVampire]

Grateful for my family and friends. Thanks for the awesome review and having/sharing such a positive attitude on life. Take care

[@madisonphillips942]

awesome video! Thanks for sharing your content!

[@toolfinderhq]

Good overview Joshua. I'm still not convinced, but there software is getting better!

[@CRHK88]

Nice video, 100% on the daily gratitude. Awesome device! Last month, I guess it was national reading month, and Amazon had a great deal going on. Picked up a package for $250 with the $25/20% Kindle trade in offers. Normal packaged price with premium pen and leather case, as well as with 64gb would have been almost $500. This thing is perfect for work; I can import PDF client files as well as job notes, journaling and check lists, and it's smooth and quick. Anything requiring more media, I can do on my iPad Pro or Macbook Pro, but this has become my primary note taking device. Writing on it is awesome; while it's a bit large for a reader, it's still nice to have the feature set of reading and writing. For road trips and vacations when just reading, I will still carry my Oasis. But, for the money, I can't imagine anything better than the Scribe for the combo of writing and reading.

[@Rich-vp4ih]

WHO we are grateful TO is more important than WHAT we are grateful FOR.

I am grateful Amazon jumped on the E-ink bandwagon, regardless of limitations; compared to others, I have faith Amazon will keep improving functions through 3-monthly updates.

[@klaymoon1]

I returned my Kindle Scribe. It was as heavy as iPad Pro 11". Spend $200 more and get iPad Pro 11". Everything, literally everything is better. At least for me, it was even easier for my eyes when I read extended hours.

I am Grateful for your video, THANK you so much for a well thoughtout, clear and concise training. I just received my new KScribe and can't put it down, I am new with this type of device and wow...this is awesome so far. I have a question about the notebook functionality. I took a wack load of notes on the scribe, and I forgot to write some things in. The notes I was taking need to be in a certain order. Is there a way of entering additional notes in the middle of all my existing notes to keep the order intact. Kinda like using MSWord and going back a few lines and inserting my thoughts midway through a sentence or a paragraph? AW, Thank you

Quick question my wife write both on paper and her computer she had brought up the idea of a scribe or remarkable 2 would the scribe work for long for novel writing or is it better for just short form writing, is it easy to transfer your notes from the kindle to a computer. Thanks

[@FigWidIt]

Out of my price range for a cool niche device, would have loved something like this back when I was in College tbh 😅

[@vlkhvan]

The notes are not actually stored only on the device. They do sync with your Amazon account. For back up purposes. If you have some notes and set up a new device with your account all your notes appear on that new device

I really would like to see this device support color. Like when you purchase them from the store. And color highlighter.

[@Chainless_Slave7]

then it has to give up the e-ink technology which filters blue light

[@mattverish]

I’m interested in getting one of these, but I’m waiting until the option to type in MS Word or a separate word processor is added. I’d love to be able to read, write, and take notes on this device.

[@stephanemalo8262]

Thank will never happen. You will always have to upload

[@Johnny_Socko]

The Supernote A5X supports Word, and you can link it to a Bluetooth keyboard. ReMarkable 2 also just released a keyboard accessory, but I believe they just use their own note taking software (as opposed to Word). Downside: No built-in lighting on those.

[@WW-ob7ek]

What you need is a tablet

[@scottintexas]

Good presentation Joshua. I have a 2-in-1 PC laptop, an older Macbook, a large iPad, and an iPhone, all of which have Kindle and a couple of them allow me to write with a pen. Do I really need yet another gadget, esp. at $439 all in (32gb, premium pen, and leather cover)?

[@IAmSam_TheMan]

Just got mines today for my birthday 🎉. Great video. I'm looking forward to digging in with this new Kindle. The goal is 50 books read in 2024!

[@dunbustin]

It could deal with the problems that you can not make particularly personal documents on your computer if family members share your account, because they will see them in the innumerable trails in Word and OneDrive. and that you do not want to sit down to write on your computer because you know that if you try to you will just waste hours of time without doing anything.

[@larafiji]

Can we make notes on the books we read? Like STUDY BIOKS ,

[@BlindRambler]

I should have picked it up when it came out and I had the money for it. I feel like I am missing a lot of productivity not being able to write when I should be. Carrying a notebook, bag of dice and two rule books is not practical in the least when you can carry a reader and a bag of dice. Not to mention pens, rulers or other tools for those of us who write and draw. E-ink is not a proper replacement for good old pen and paper, but it doesn't lose that feeling of remembering what you write because your body knows it's doing it. Typing is simply not the same.

[@theintern9722]

When you're reading and taking notes. Does it save all the notes on one separate sheet..or are all the stickies seperate

can you decrease opacity of the lines or dots etc while taking notes?

[@bostonflair]

So just to verify, you can read AND write on this one?? I love that, i have the old kindle, but I want the scribe one and not sure if it's worth it.

[@maryhazlett]

So, not so much a gratitude. I have journaled for more than 55 years. I doubt I'd journal on an e-device because 1) I have LOTS of fountain pens I love journaling with, and 2) I've lost notes etc when I've changed device brands (such as phones; I use android, but through different manufacturers. Often I can't transfer notes) The other thing I'm hesitant about has to do with the re-reading experience. 1) I read a LOT. it can be for several hours/day + much of the night. I get into bed at 10, and read on and off until about 5 am. Reading while laying down with a large +e-device must be awkward, and 2) the wide bezel doesn't seem like a good thing. I constantly move my kindle from hand to hand.

[@mihaelachiscovici]

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.
