New Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle including New Kindle Scribe (16GB) - Tungsten, Premium Pen, Plant-Based Leather Folio-Black, and Power Adapter

This is my second purchase (a gift to my wife). My first purchase was over a year ago. I like the larger screen as it "feels" more book like. We are 60+ and use the larger fonts. Having a larger screen doesn't make us feel like we are reading one sentence a page. I do have several older and smaller Kindles used for comparison. Surprisingly the larger device doesn't seem much heavier. While the Scribe has a note taking feature, I personally have not used it. I do like the concept but tend to just look something up verses writing a note.This light and dark mode are great for reading in bed and not disturbing your partner. My gift was a bit self-serving as my wife started "borrowing" my Scribe and I was constantly trying to remember where I had put it.

excellent. Made my life much easier.

Great quality. Writing on it feels like writing on paper.

Update: I spent a lot of time with my new Kindle Scribe last night, and I am liking it better, so I am upgrading to four stars. It does take some getting used to. The issues I noted in my initial review still hold, but the note-taking and annotation functions in books and documents are helpful. It would be nice if there were a cleaner way of transferring these things to a computer. This is my initial review. I've just spent the past four hours learning this new Kindle Scribe. I've been using Kindles since 2010, so I'm familiar with much of the functionality. As an e-reader, it's as good as its predecessors, but I bought it because I wanted the note-taking functionality. Unfortunately, my expectations were greater than the capability of this device. Firstly, it is good for taking notes in the notebook mode. You can handwrite the notes and convert them to more readable text. That is nice. Amazon advertises that you can take notes on other documents, books, and so forth, and this is true, however, this function has a very awkward interface with the notebook function. You cannot convert the notes you take in a document or book into text. You can email the notes to yourself, but they go without the book or document text to which they refer. So what you get is your scribbled notes, scattered across a blank page. I have searched high and low in Amazon's documentation on this Scribe to see if I've somehow gotten it wrong, but it doesn't appear that I have. It appears that the engineers who designed this device didn't have a good idea of the needs of non-technical customers like me. It may be great for someone more tech-savvy than I. I'll likely use it for its note-taking and sending capabilities. For the price, I expected better.

Excellent item absolutely love this item .This kindle scribe is awesome for work notes, journals, and reading all your books . The pen is awesome and it feels like your writing in paper, I highly recommend this item .

I love the new Kindle Scribe! Battery is amazing, lightweight. The kindle and the case are both durable and functional! Great value for the money in my opinion. I’m glad I bought it.

I don’t know what took me so long to get a Scribe. This thing has blown all of my expectations out of the water. I’ve had the Kindle Oasis with the page turn buttons for a few years now and could not imagine life without it, upgrading to something 2.5x the size without any buttons sounded ridiculous to me. However, I needed to mark up a PDF and I figured it was the best time to buy one, since writing on my iPad is abysmal. I’d hate to say it feels like paper, it feels better than paper. Like when you’re signing the tab at a restaurant and it’s on that plush leather card holder, it’s soft, the pen just glides. It’s that incredible. Battery lasts like 2 weeks, the functionality of highlighting, underlining, and writing notes directly into the books is amazing. The speed is typical to e-ink, but I’ll take that any day for a softer reading experience. Worth the money, though its size is a little big for in-bed reading, that’s what I’ll pull my Oasis out for. Needless to say, the Scribe has become my new study partner and note partner. LOVE THIS THING.

I bought the 64 g when it first came out. I love it. I love the notes. I don't have to go on my laptop in word when getting things ( notes) for taxes. It can't be hacked. Love that. Can't get virus love that. I do use the send to kindle on other things I've been writing on laptop which makes it really nice because I can finish up things I'm writing on the kindle without lugging around my laptop its great all my books are on it. Very easy to use battery last very long time. Highly recommend I have no glare on it so no need to buy a glare
