Great addition to the paper tablet market. If Amazon adds some features in the coming months, the KindleScribe could take the lead.
It syncs constantly and new PDFs and books are instantly available. I love the ease in adding to my library.
I very much like the oversized post it notes that can be add when reading a book, but shrink to keep a clean book page, although I wish I had a choice to write directly on a book page as I can a pdf. I like that I can type and hand write my notes. But also wish that my handwritten notes synced like my typewritten notes, to other devices, such as when I open the book on my laptop. I do like that I can collect all my notes and highlights in a list. Great for teaching. As a professor all my notes travel with me. This is a great tool for educators and professors.
I like that my audible books are accessible too.
I do wish it could “project” to my laptop like the competitor R2, this is an underrated feature that is great for educators. I would like a better pencil too that mimics the characteristics of a pencil better. I think layers would also make it a stronger competitor. Access to my files on a Google drive or other. And add an interactive daily planner. R2 has one that is transformative, created by a developer. But you have a project planner, so create/get a daily calendar planner. That add on was the clincher for me.But make it a reasonable price point.
I do like the ability to have controllable lighting as needed, very nice.
I love the custom cover/case. I got the burgundy one. Glad the pen came with it and that it is magnetic and can be secured with the loop on the case. Love those features.
I love that I can zoom in on my PDFs, not a feature on the R2. And my handwriting shrinks or grows accordingly in real time, staying proportional.
Not sure how it handles other ebooks that are not kindle, but the R2 doesn’t handle kindle books, much to my chagrin; I had a kindle library for decades.
Overall, even though I bought the R2 just 5 months ago, I was upset with myself because I was not aware of the KindleScribe. I think I would’ve gotten the Scribe first because it is great in many ways. But since I got the R2 first, I want to suggest to Amazon to upgrade some features then you can takeover this market: layers, projection, other ebooks, write directly on the pages of a book, handwritten notes in books travel with it to other devices, a keyboard perhaps. KEEP your unique good features and add these feature, plus do some marketing to increase awareness, then you got this. I would love to only need on device. So, please take heed.
The price point for it and the bundle is perfect. Smart to sell it with the pen. With the R2, I thought a separate pen was shameful, felt they were nickel and diming us, plus they charge for storage of files smh. Love the scribe.
Overall, a game changer. Love it and bragging on it to folks. I rarely write reviews. Best wishes on the success of this product.

I love the large screen and find [it] more comfortable for reading. I use a larger font size to aid my vision.
S. Farrel
This is inspiring me to read more… you can highlight text and add notes to text right on the book… for me that was huge! I like both highlighting and taking notes and this makes it so easy.

Great for combining paper tablet and eReader!
I've only had the device for about 24 hrs at this point. It is a nice looking, sleek, light weight device. The reaction time for the pen is really good. It has capabilities to email your work but as far I can tell you can't sync it with any cloud storage. If it was any other paper tablet that didn't give you the ability to sync with OneDrive I would have given it 3 stars instead but you do get the Kindle eReader along with it which pushes it up to 4 stars overall. I do have a suggestion for Amazon regarding the eReader, please add the ability to create collections within collections. There are a lot of authors I follow that have stand alone books but also have several series. It would be nice to be able to sort the books by author and then series.
