I like the looks of it, seems practical for those that don’t want to use their tablet as a reader. Lots to think about.

It’s definitely not the kind of device everyone will dig. But it’s very good at the things it does. So it’s just making the decision of it fills a gap.

I got one recently and just love it. Good build quality, clear text and I feel like reading a real book as the screen is big and wide. The best part is any interesting pdf I come across, I can send to kindle and read whenever I get a break! I use a pouch rather than a cover as I love the feel of having the device on my hands. So it will be some time before I fully start making use of the writing capabilities.

Hey, that’s great to hear! My use case is pretty similar. Though I definitely make lots of use of the handwritten notes in kindle books 😄 I agree though, the feeling of the device is superb and I generally just put it in a padded backpack for travel.

Like you, I do work on a tablet. My use case is extensive note-taking. Didn't pull trigger on the Scribe cause, as a therapist, I review client notes across different devices. Got nervous about being pigeonholed to Kindle eco, or that awkward emailing to self to have notes on my cloud service (e.g. Good Drive)

Yeah, it’s definitely I but unfortunate how limited the scribe can be when compared to traditional tablets. It’s certainly an e-reader first and foremost. Glad you were able to save your money for a device that’ll hopefully fit your workflow better!

I have scribe and love it. I’ve adopted it as my main note taking device for work. Reading books on it is great too.

Kindle is the best one as I used. iPad iBook is good than others if ipad no glare to eyes.

I just got the 16Gb model & premium pen for just £190.00 inc delivery and I love it. It's definitely worth the money for me as it does what I need albeit a little slow. It's also nicely made too although i don't think it's waterproof.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying your kindle! I feel the same about mine. Definitely does what it does well! It’s definitely not waterproof though. So I’d avoid jumping in the pool lol

😊

did you get a defective device? looks like your kindle scribe is smoking up

Would you know if I could make the Kindle Scribe a corporate device like phones and tabs so I could read reports/research papers from the knowledge repository of our firm? Our firm restricts mailing documents to personal devices and I am not sure how the Kindle can be controlled by my firm so I won't be in violation of any confidentiality requirements.

I see, so you can put content onto the kindle over USB C. But the fact that it can connect to the internet and email docs from a connected kindle account and the fact that it can’t have antivirus or other types of software installed would lead me to say, probably not. Unfortunately in cases such as those, firms tend to prefer keeping documents on highly secure devices.

@@jackofmanytrades Firms use Microsoft Intunes to manage devices and protect data on phones and tabs. I don't know if there is a version for Kindle. Consulting firms and research based firms really need a solution for this.

OMG I thought it was burning...

That was the fanciest Kindle reveal ever. Only other thing we needed were fireworks 🤣

It’s not a tablet, it’s an ereader!

It’s an e ink tablet that’s reading focused. If you can write on it is definitely a tablet.

@@mzmel1 no it's not. a tablet has the capability of downloading apps and doing a lot more than just reading and sketching. BOOX makes eink tablets, but Kindle only makes ereaders.
