Kindle Scribe Review: The E-Reader For Writers

[@krosskinetic]

I love how fresh MrMobile's reviews feel... In a world where all tech youtubers are following pre defined set of rules while reviewing gadgets... MrMobile somehow makes that process fun and addicting to watch like seriously kudos !

[@leiya107]

For real, most others are essentially reading off the specs list, MrMobile talks a lot about the usability and actual day-to-day use experience -- the things we genuinely need to know in reviews!

[@manysaints]

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.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Man, there's so much about this that looks amazing with some somewhat mind-boggling omissions, especially at the price. I definitely want to still give this a look as it seems like one of the more interesting things from their new lineup of products.

[@bradenfitzpatrick8352]

I have a large astigmatism in one of my eyes which means reading on a screen at night is way too difficult. I picked up a kobo after one of your e-reader reviews and absolutely love it. I’m happy to see Amazon adding a pen to kindle and I can’t wait to see how e-paper keeps developing!

[@NerdishlyActive]

What settings on your Kobo helps with your Astigmatism?

[@gibdopaminepls]

@@NerdishlyActive i think it's more the fact that it's e-ink, rather than it being a kobo

[@angelosantoro1419]

Oh wow I didn’t know astigmatism caused that. Now I feel less incompetent

[@AndreShouldBeWriting]

Kobo also has an eReader with pen support. Actually it has two of them, check out Kobo Sage and Kobo Elipsa. ;-) If you're already in the Kobo ecosystem, it might make more sense to get a Kobo device with pen support than migrate to Kindle.

[@mattlawrence7130]

One thing that I would like to see is a minimal word processor and the ability to pair with a Bluetooth keyboard. That would just be so handy for writing articles or blog posts

[@MoralGovernment]

This!

[@pullingweeds]

Amazon should publish a features roadmap for this device given the lack of features. It may encourage people who bought it to keep it and encourage those on the fence to purchase.

[@shethsa]

Nice review Michael. I'm using a remarkable 2 and the biggest advantage it has over the kindle or iPad is that you're disconnected from the web while focused on your writing. I use it to take extensive notes that I can sync up to my phone or pc. You can also send pdf and web articles to the R2. It serves it's purpose by keeping you focused on that one thing you need to use it for.

[@tams805]

If it works for you, well good. But really you're paying them (well, new customers are) to limit what you can do on your device despite it being perfectly capable of doing it. You could do what you do with any device.

[@TheMrMobile]

I definitely feel this. Made a big deal out of the "intentional limitation" approach to tech on my Kindle Paperwhite Signature review. Just feels like a product like this, which is meant for wider use cases, deserves more capability than Amazon has chosen to include. Especially for the price.

[@scottrixon5312]

I also thought the Remarkable app integration is superior, something you didn't get into. But core to a good note taking workflow.

[@nickentros]

I would have loved this as a digital legal pad when I was in school. I’m a firm believer in hand writing improving retention. I got by with the first GEN iPad mini, and a capacitive stylus.

[@Surja15]

Is it just me or Michael's channel hasn't seen much spurting growth as compared to other tech channels. The script, editing and video quality is excellent as always, but the subscriber count is rather constant. I enjoy the road trip videos Mr Mobile makes. And it would be very fun to watch him move them up a scale. Like going to Asia with a new mobile to test it out.

[@robertosmmjlist]

[@GamerofGamesGG]

[@sylviazul]

I love Kindle Scribe. For a table editor who needs to read manuscripts and originals, and annotate observations for reading reports, Kindle Scribe is a fantastic choice.

[@devcybiko]

I also have the reMarkable 2 and won't be rushing to replace it with the new Kindle Scribe. I like what I saw in your review, but the biggest feature I use with reMarkable is the screen sharing. I call it my "magic white board." I use it during my software bootcamp instruction. Also, when you compare the Kindle Scribe to the vast array of eInk / Scribe devices, Kindle Scribe feels like a mere Kindle upgrade - which is probably all Amazon was shooting for, anyway. Thanks for your work, I'm subscribed, and continued success!

[@mrvujadinovic9403]

All right fine, you have subliminally convinced me to buy the Mathew Perry book

[@samuelpierce2.088]

As someone who’s always had trouble using tablets and digital pens for art specifically *because* of the way using said pens on smooth plastic/glass feels, this Kindle almost has me hooked. Almost. The lack of a color display, along with a severely undercooked browser, are the two big things keeping me on the fence. Not to mention…you know…this is Amazon we’re talking about here; I don’t wanna give my money to a company that forces its employees to work in horrendous conditions for barely-acceptable wages.

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

IMO, as long as the Kindle doesn't require an active subscription to make notes, the increased price can be argued as worth it compared to Remarkable's subscription

[@DavidBrown-bs7gg]

Early impressions.. great if you want to read kindle books on it (you can’t with the Remarkable) and the backlight is great for varying light conditions (Remarkable has no backlight) As for writing the screen/pen has no pressure sensitivity so you can’t emphasise text by pressing harder/lighter. Scribe screen does a full refresh when you use the erase which is annoying/distracting. And there are fewer pen styles to choose from

[@ulyssesnathanialowen3831]

after waiting a few months for scribe to arrive , it arrived today , promptly crashes and gets itself stuck in a loop updating its Os. amazon support were quite deeming and belligerent in their online chat to the point were i have hung up , raised an official complaint about the whole matter and will be shipping the scribe back to amazon tomorrow and most likely investing in kobos eclipse and converting may 500 book library !! buyer be warned !!

[@NeonVisual]

The problem with devices like this is that paper and pen still has the advantage. e-ink has to go full colour with 60hz refresh rate before it will be considered by anyone other than a niche audience of.. people who want to draw on books?

[@shiorinyan]

Eh? But then... you lose the advantage of very good battery life. So, low 'refresh rate' is not disadvantage per se, but a trade-off. Take look at Onyx Boox Tab Ultra, it has significantly improved in terms of responsiveness/refresh rate, but, the cost, is quite worse battery life. Still, it is at the point, where browsing internet is actually reasonable experience

[@28kingofkings]

i'll wait for the next generation of the scribe before getting one. its a terrific step forward, it just needs some more development

[@metballetjes]

I've used the remarkable and have a kobo elipsa myself. And the amazon seems to be nailing it with this one. The remarkable is a great device with the big disadvantage that it lacks a backlight. The writing is the best I've tried on any device (it feels like a wacom tablet with a nice pen) and it has great features like projecting your eink display to your pc so you can draw on a projector or in a teams meeting. The kobo is worse in writing features and writing quality and is alot bulkier but is a more advanced ereader with a backlight. If amazon does the best of both then it is a no brainer. These devices are great for work, its the notebook or scrap paper in front of your keyboard that you can organise at ease. Take it home and you can still read a nice book. I also disagree with your remarks on reading on a foldable phone. E-ink displays don't strain your eyes since it is magnetic black pigment instead of light which is objectively healthier regardless of your preference.

[@lionbizzle]

[@AdrielVelazquez]

I have the remarkable 2, and I'm excited for this product. Where the remarkable 2 has fallen short is the inability to read my Kindle books.

[@cogspace]

I absolutely love my reMarkable 2, but it would be way more useful if I could buy ebooks on it... a shame the Scribe's design isn't quite as nice though. Might wait for the Scribe 2, if they make one.

[@guymontag5]

I love the idea, but the lack of cellular is a weirdly big omission to me. One of the best parts of the older Kindles was having the ability to just grab a book whenever you wanted from the web without the need to either have existing wifi or starting up my phone as a hotspot.

[@RubyRoks]

Something like this, ideally at a lower price and a slightly more portable size, would be great for me. I'm a musician and i currently write lyrics on my phone, but being able to physically write them down on something i can carry everyday would be great for me purely because i tend to be more commited when physically writing as opposed to typing. Scribbling out ink or erasing pencil lead is much more work than holding backspace, so rethinking and overthinking spur of the moment thoughts on something that emulates how annoying erasing over and over is would happen less

[@billybobthorton2026]

Look at the Boox Nova or Note models.

[@TheMrMobile]

Weird to hear myself saying it, but ... if you can get a Surface Duo on the cheap, consider that. Not a great phone, but it has pen support and is a wonderful portable e-notebook.

[@LvUhcX]

[@Atarix777]

Fantastic review as always. I am right now very unsure if I am going to get a scribe or if I'll stick still a bit longer with my voyage. I love to use the pen on my surface 8, but the e-ink displays are so much better for my eyes when reading before sleeping. I also use the pen on my note 20... Well, "First world problems" I guess, as long as this are my only problems I have to be really thankful.

[@whenhen]

Especially with the rise of eInk Android tablets which allow for more note options, as well as the Kindle app, this seems like a super niche and clunky product. I still don’t understand why Amazon didn’t use FireOS with this device and preload it with some stuff that a reader might want, while giving them the option to use actual Android apps. I’m sure this product will go on sale, but as someone who takes a ton of handwritten notes for school and work, I would never be able to justify buying this device when it has so many syncing limitations, along with a god awful web interface (something critical if you want to download PDFs without the use of a separate computer or phone).

[@TheMrMobile]

Solid points, all!

[@Monoxddddd]

Kindle app on e-ink devices is awfuly slow!!!

[@Hittsy]

kindle's OS is made from the ground-up for an e-paper/e-ink display. it's designed to make the slow refresh rate look good, and minimize distractions, whilst most android apps would perform poorly at best on such a low-refresh display, not to mention the power draw android has compared to this ultra-lightweight device. as for syncing, very valid point, you might want to see if you can get access to wifi at your school or work, which would remedy any syncing issue i could find.

[@whenhen]

@@Hittsy the syncing issue refers to the fact that a lot of PDFs that someone might want to edit and then upload are hosted on a website or through cloud storage (enterprise or personal). For instance, my professors will post the lectures or homework in PowerPoint or PDF form on the class webpage. From there we can download them and mark up as needed. In the case of homework, we often need to upload the marked up document. On an iPad or Android tablet this is super simple and there’s no need for a separate device. On the kindle scribe this would be a much more convoluted process as it still requires using a laptop or phone to send the stuff over. This extends to outside of academia as well. If you want to upload notes to a shared drive via an iPad, it’s usually pretty simple and can be done on device. With the Kindle scribe, this potentially involves emailing the document, then using a separate device to upload and download. Also from my understanding, the eInk Android tablets can still have a week or longer battery life, especially when measured under the same parameters that Amazon advertises the kindle scribe battery life. It’s not amazing but a week is totally sufficient for the vast majority of people who aren’t like Appalachian trail backpackers

[@LvUhcX]

If you want for school leave kindle brand, kindle brand marketing for everyday person…

[@GalaxyFur]

At the end of the day, the Kindle Scribe is just a Kindle Paperwhite with a pen. Take away the pen and it's identical to the Paperwhite as Mr. Mobile pointed out. Just with a slightly bigger screen. While the bigger display can be nice, It also makes the Scribe far less portable. It's not as convenient to stuff into bags or smaller pocket areas as a Kindle Basic or Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Scribe also doesn't offer water resistance like the Kindle Paperwhite or wireless charging like the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition nor even the Kids functionality option the Paperwhite has. And the Paperwhite still offers note-taking abilities even without the pen. And the price of the Scribe is a lot more than the Paperwhite. So if you plan on buying a Scribe, make sure you really want the convenience of the pen or the larger display. Because you're going to pay a whole lot more for it and it won't be quite as portable and will be heavier to hold. And you will lose the water resistance and wireless charging abilities of the Paperwhite Signature Edition. Some people will love this device. It is a Paperwhite with a pen after all. But most will probably still stick with the Paperwhite I'm willing to bet since you still get everything the Scribe offers (Minus the pen and bigger display.) Personally, I love the Scribe. But the pen functionality is a bit too limited. And at the end of the day, my "Paperwhite Signature Edition" does everything the Scribe does. (Again minus being able to draw and write on the display with a pen.) And the steep price is asking a bit too much. Now if it gets new features added in with software updates then it may become worth it. But most likely the bulk of these new features will all be released as soon as the 2nd generation Scribe releases sometime in 2025. Usually, it's the 2nd generation device that finally gets all the bells and whistles. And this is because manufacturers like Samsung, Apple, and Amazon with the Kindle all know early adopters will always run out and buy it so sales are likely a non-issue. It's the 2nd generation that brings a lot of improvements to keep the sales momentum going from the 1st generation devise because now you're dealing with the average consumer and not early adopters. Just look at how much better the Galaxy Fold 2 was compared to the first-generation Fold. (Especially with the hinge redesign.)

[@Mutio86]

I so want something like this with a full fledged color screen. Would be awesome for comics AND notes 🤩

[@MrPatonMarshall]

That odd block shape kills this for me. I'm very intrigued by some of the color e-ink tablets too but I haven't been convinced anything is better than my Fold paired with my Tab S8 Ultra. Interesting thought would be a foldable or dual screen device. Outer display is an S22 Ultra size and style while the inside is an e-ink with stylus support. Now THAT would be a "shut up and take my money" device and one I'd surely buy after seeing a Mr. Mobile review of.

[@emerson-sheaapril8555]

Pretty sure they have that. Forget the phone name though. came out a couple years ago....not sure if they ever kept it up. They have had laptops as well. I'm always interested when I see them!

[@speedyg123.]

great review. ive been eyeing a e-ink device I can write notes on. However, ive always found them expensive (looking at you ReMarkable2). Thought this Kindle Scribe would be the answer. However, im not sure if paying $480+ for a Scribe or if it would be better spent buying a 2018 used iPad Pro for around $400+$100 for the stylus. I think im gonna stick with my $2 dead tree notebooks, till the e-ink notetaking devices become better

[@cosmonz]

Better? Or just cheaper? ;)

[@whenhen]

Personally, I have an iPad that has a matte screen protector and a third-party stylus which cost $25 and is fantastic. I use it every day to take notes for school, as well as do homework, and the matte texture, will not precisely emulating the feel of writing on paper, does do a good enough job, considering that it only cost $8 for a two pack. It also substantially reduces glare outside. For me electronic note taking is worth it, as an can hold all of my textbooks, notes from my entire time in university, along with other stuff specific to school. I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who is only jotting down maybe a page or two a week however.

[@gospelofrye6881]

Standard wisdom I thought was that the 2018 Pro was the worst value to buy second hand because newer iPads are cheaper and more powerful?

Amazon is late on this run.

[@randomuser5237]

Not everything, Kindle has the best display by far in this size category (300 ppi) and the point of e-readers is providing distraction free reading, no point in having a full Android system with horrible app display and response.

[@carolovo]

@@randomuser5237 thank you for the reply. Indeed, the Kindle does have a better screen, but that’s it. My Note Air is my e-reader, and I don’t complain about the quality of the screen. And the facility to get other archives (like mangas) on the android is a no-brainer for me. But, everyone has a need, right? I’m used to the Android system on it, and right now, getting a Kindle would be a downgrade for me. But, if you never had an e-reader with a stylus, and don’t miss the other features, it’s a good choice. But I still think it is a bit overpriced.

Here’s a question. My SO is an artist who draws a lot on her ipad pro+apple pencil. But for some reason, she sticks to paper notebooks for notetaking. And she does a crap ton of note taking.

The problem here is archiving her notebooks. Digital is just easier and she’s lost a ton of old notebooks from termites and humidity.

Man I love my Kindle Oasis. Too bad I still have a hard time making time in my schedule to actually read 😅

[@RonOffringa]

I would be curious about your thoughts on a foldable Scribe (or Remarkable or Boox or Supernote or whatever else). Would having a book on one side and notes on the other, or two screens to allow for better emulation of the pages of a book, etc. be enough to make you want a dedicated reading/note taking device apart from your phone?

how does this compare to a remarkable 2?

[@ziginox]

I love how you keep sneaking the Nothing Phone 1 into the background. It really does make some nice eye candy Also, nice orange Palm pen, you nerd.

[@adolfkudlinski]

I will stick with Kindle Oasis 3 ...

I’m not in the market for an e reader. regardless, your videos are entertaining, yet informative.

Hey the PDA is back!

I want that background music 😍

I genuinely wish I had a reason to use something like this, but I NEVER have to write anything. Maybe once or twice a year will I have to actually write something. Kinda makes me sad. Wish this thing was around when I was in school.

Now if this was a foldable screen device, i'd be right onto it.

Great topic for a video. I'm kinda curious about color ePaper devices. We were promised those for a few years now.

They've been on the market for a bit over a year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIOppoRqqr98hZo

You missed the target. You should have talked about how large the system font can get, and if it'll play spider solitaire.

Well honestly I think i prefer my small Note 9 screen over not being able to have colors. Having neigh infinite colors for note taking is very important to me.

My problem with Kindle has always been forced DRM and lock in.
