Like-New Amazon Kindle Scribe (64 GB) the first Kindle and digital notebook, all in one, with a 10.2” 300 ppi Paperwhite display, includes Premium Pen

I was looking for a device that would allow me to read and take notes without the distractions of a typical tablet, and the Kindle Scribe seemed like a good fit. After using it for a while, here are my thoughts:Use Cases:The Focused Reader: If you're someone who loves to read without distractions, this is a great device. The large, paperwhite display is easy on the eyes, and the lack of notifications helps you stay immersed in your books. I especially appreciate it for reading in bed, as the warm light setting is very comfortable.The Note-Taker: The Scribe is excellent for taking notes, whether it's for work, school, or personal use. The pen feels natural to write with, and the ability to organize notes into notebooks is a plus. I've found it particularly useful for brainstorming ideas and taking meeting notes.The Document Annotator: Being able to write directly on PDFs is a game-changer. I can easily mark up documents, highlight important sections, and add my own comments. This has been incredibly helpful for reviewing contracts and research papers.The Journaler: The Kindle Scribe is great for journaling. The writing experience is very smooth, and the device is less distracting than using a computer or tablet.My Personal Take:The large screen is fantastic for reading and writing. It feels much more like reading a physical book than smaller e-readers.The pen is comfortable to hold and write with, and I appreciate that it doesn't need to be charged.The note-taking features are basic but functional. The handwriting-to-text conversion works surprisingly well.The battery life is excellent. I can go weeks without needing to charge it.While you can't directly mark up the pages of books purchased from the Kindle store, the sticky note feature is a decent workaround.The device is a bit pricey, but if you value focused reading and note-taking, it's worth the investment.Overall:The Amazon Kindle Scribe is a great device for anyone who wants a distraction-free reading and writing experience. It's not a replacement for a full-fledged tablet, but it excels at what it's designed to do: provide a focused and comfortable way to read, annotate, and take notes.

I bought this tablet for the purpose of taking notes. Here are my observations:• I bought the “Like new” model. It came in a generic amazon box and packaging. As advertised, it looks and behaves like new. It includes the same warranty as the new models.• The construction feels durable and pleasingly tactile. The writing surface resembles frosted glass. There are small rubber “feet” on the bottom side that keeps it planted while on a tabletop.• There’s only one button located on the side of the tablet.• Battery life is super compared to conventional tablets. It can last days under “normal” use.• With its 300 DPI resolution, the text looks crisp, just like print.• It is super responsive when taking notes with the stylus. It truly feels like you are writing on paper including the sound that it makes.• The tablet supports light and dark mode. It also has a backlit screen feature. This allows for use in varying lighting conditions.• Uploading files the tablet can be done by side loading, plugging in the tablet with a USB cable, or you may upload the document via “Send to Kindle”. If you upload the file via a USB cable, you will have limited functionality when viewing the document. You can use the “send to kindle” online uploader. I would recommend this method as it provides the best functionality for the documents. There is a Send to Kindle app, although I couldn’t get it to work with my PC.• You can export documents within the tablet to your email address.• Mine came with the premium pen. It allows for writing, highlighting, and erasing. The side button can be programmed to perform different shortcuts like highlighting, erasing, switching writing modes, etc. There are two premium pens available. One with a plastic end and the other with a rubberized end. I like the one with a plastic end as it provides sufficient resistance. It compresses slightly giving you positive feedback.• It can be used as an E-reader, including books from Amazon and other sources, Audible books and music (using a wireless Bluetooth speaker or earphones). Supported File Types are PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, HTM, HTML, PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, EPUB.• It can perform text to speech. (You need to pair it with a Bluetooth speaker or headphones for this feature to work.)• You can take notes on documents while viewing them. Although, this option varies depending on what type of document you are viewing and how it was uploaded to the tablet.• I was able to use it to sign PDF documents and export them to my email account. I found this to be very helpful!• In terms of how many notes you can take, it depends on which one you buy. I bought the 32 GB model. Based on my limited experience, you can take as many notes as your heart desires. My advice is to keep things organized using folders to minimize clutter.• I found that I have to replace the pen tip more often than I would like, and they are not cheap. This would be one of my top negatives.• It is a bit laggy going through the menu options compared to conventional tablets but isn’t a deal breaker for me.• All things said, I love this tablet. It suits my purpose perfectly as a note taker. I will be able to take notes galore without worrying about running out of storage space, and it is an enjoyable experience. Being able to read eBooks and write notations on them is a bonus. There is room for improvement such as improved response time, a better method to copy documents to it, and the cost of pen tips. Otherwise, I would recommend it.

Great E-ink ereader.Screen is good and has backlight.Battery is solid, only had to charge once a week.16GB is enough for hundreds of books.Writing experience is just like pen and paper, though the eraserhead on the pen isn't that great.Super simple notebook functions so if you need more options this isn't for you.So far the A.I features are okay.Refine handwriting hasn't worked for me at all, maybe my handwriting is too ugly for the servers to process.Summarize works well but I wish you could organize them better instead of only able to put them into the first or last page of the notebook.I don't use them all that much so this is a perfect product for my use case.

Before I purchased this Kindle Scribe, I was doing handwriting maybe once every few months. After I got this amazing device, I found myself using it for notes for EVERYTHING. From Story Ideas to Medical Appointments, Plans for projects, to-do lists, you name it! It does have the ability to read Kindle books and I've used it maybe once for that, but the handwriting aspect is by far my favorite.It doesn't have all the features some of the other writing tablets have, like the BOOX, however I've used that one and found it slow and cumbersome. The Scribe has limited functionality, but it runs quickly and the battery lasts FOREVER. Plus, now it has the ability to use AI to clean up or summarize your writing. As someone with terrible handwriting, this is useful!
