Top Amazon Reviews


  • Great product that delivers all that was promised! A truly satisfying experience.
Option: Premium Pen Setup: 32 GB Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
*WARNING* I've seen several reviews that are knocking the product because they think it is unnecessary or is lacking some features that Amazon made clear up front would not be available at launch. I feel that is unfair. Overall, this is a quality-built product that embodies all of the great features we love about Kindle, while adding a beautiful note-taking capability. I purchased this product out of my own pocket and this is my unbiased review of the product. If you're still curiou, read on. I have always loved the Amazon Kindle. When I heard about the release of the Scribe, I pre-ordered mine right way, and it even arrived a day earlier than the release date! From a Kindle perspective, it embodies all of the great features Kindle-users have grown to love. It has a big, back-lit glare free screen, which is beautiful for reading. The size, weight and layout is similar to the Oasis and it has a premium quality build and feel to it. The back is a smooth metal and it feels very sturdy in-hand. The battery life seems extraordinary, as is the case with most Kindle products. Mine has been in standby mode with the screen illuminated with a book cover for over 12 hours and remains at 100% charge. They call it the Scribe because users have the ability to write in it as well. Due to copyright issues I'm sure, you can't exactly write on the pages of the book, but you do have the ability to create hand-written notes similar to a sticky-note, which you can access in multiple ways for review. What is cool, is that Amazon includes a "notebook" feature that allows you to create notes or drawings that are separate from the Library/reading portion of the Scribe. The notebook is accessible from the home screen. You have the option for various page styles (i.e. wide-ruled, college-ruled, blank, etc.). In conjunction with the included stylus pen, this is where the Scribe really shines! The note taking capability is phenomenal. It does feel like writing with a pen on a piece of paper. Note-taking is smooth and seamless. The stylus has virtually no delay and was truly a satisfying experience. The fact that I can carry this around with me and use it to take hand-written notes, while still having access to my full Kindle library is awesome. I have the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus tablet, and regardless of the stylus pen or note-taking app chosen, have not had nearly as satisfying of an experience writing and taking notes. Now let's talk about the stylus pen itself. There are two versions. I opted for the Premium Pen, which includes an eraser on the top of the pen as well as a programmable shortcut button. The pen is battery free, so you never have to worry about charging it. It feels good in the hand and as already stated, writes phenomenally. I did find that the positioning of the shortcut button on the Premium Pen is a little unfortunate. If your hand favors a lower grip on the pen when writing, the tendency will be to bump the button. Depending on what feature you have programmed as the shortcut (i.e. highlighter for example), it could become a nuisance. I would have preferred to see it a little higher up on the shaft of the pen. Outside of that, the fact that you can switch between pen mode and highlighter with the click of a button is super convenient. The eraser works well, though there is a slight delay between erasing something and it disappearing on the screen. I also found that when using a lined paper notebook for notetaking, the eraser seemed to eliminate the lines along with what I was erasing. Perhaps that will be fixed in a software update. Keep in mind that there is also an "undo" button onscreen that would be better utilized than the eraser for quick eliminations. Overall, the Premium Pen is nice, but probably not necessary. There are enough built-in features on screen to accomplish the same functions, albeit probably not quite as quickly. One of the biggest questions I had about the Scribe was going to be whether or not it would accommodate left-handed users. Most of the pictures and videos show the Scribe being used by right-handed people, i.e. the unutilized portion of the screen where you hold it is on the left side. Thankfully, like most tablets and phones these days, the Scribe has a built-in gyroscope, so simply rotating the device allows the screen to reorient into the proper position. This means I can hold it with my right hand and write with my left hand without issue. This may be a feature that the newer version of the Kindle possess, but my experience has been with the older version of the paperwhite, which did not have this ability. Final thoughts. If you love the Kindle and you're looking for something you can read on and take notes, then this is the device for you. Can you accomplish the same thing from a tablet? Yes. Higher end tablets like the iPad are definitely contenders, especially considering the price of the Scribe. That being said, if you don't need or want all of the apps and features that tablets offer, the Scribe is a great alternative. There are no distractions. No temptations. Just pure an uninterrupted reading and notetaking. It's a beautiful reading and writing experience that is only going to improve as Amazon improves its capabilities in the coming months. Remember, the Scribe has been on the market for a solid 24 hours at this point! While it is on the pricier side, Amazon is giving you 20% off with a trade-in of an older Kindle model. That's a pretty unbelievable deal considering the Scribe was just released (and the trade credit worked during pre-order too). Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this product so far. Thanks Amazon for another amazing product! ... show more

  • Excellent New Device. Exceeds Expectations.
Option: Basic Pen Setup: 16 GB Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
I struggled with the decision to purchase the new Kindle Scribe. I have had several kindles (going all the way back to the Kindle with a keyboard) and a few Kindle Fires. I currently have a Kindle Paperwhite and Fire 8 plus. I have always valued the reading experience on kindles along with the ability to have access to a library of books, obtain samples of books, and a convenient way to highlight and add sticky notes. I was initially excited to see the Scribe come out, but the price and some negative reviews really gave me pause. At the urging of my spouse as a Christmas present and convincing myself that I would return it if it didn’t meet my expectations I decided to take the plunge. I am so glad I did. It has exceeded my expectations in all three of my must haves. I decided to write this review in hopes of helping others going back and forth about whether to purchase it now or wait for a future update. As a little background, I am in academia. I decided that I would purchase and keep the Kindle Scribe if it did an excellent job with The following. 1) Able to read textbooks and technical books with tables, charts, graphs, and math. 2) Able to read pdfs. 3) Able to write notes (lecture notes, answer keys, personal research notes, etc.) Based upon the previous reviews, I was not confident that the Scribe would do a great job with all three of the above must haves. However, it does. I’ll take each one separately with my pros/cons and fixes. 1) With my previous kindles (including my current paperwhite and Fire), I was never able to have that wonderful reading experience when it came to textbooks and/or more technical books which included tables, charts, graphs, and math. The physical size of the previous kindles simply was never going to work well with these types of books, even with the zoom feature. The size, and perfection of the screen, of the Scribe makes reading these types of books just as enjoyable as reading a book of fiction. The technical stuff comes across wonderfully and there’s no funky formatting that the previous kindles would have when it comes to tables, charts, etc. So, the Scribe passed with flying colors when it come to this must have. In response to some other reviews, I will say that I’m actually glad that I cannot write (make notes, underline, circle) on the books themselves. I like writing a sticky note and highlighting because it keeps the pages less cluttered. Looking back at physical books that I’ve had to read many times over the years, I have written so many notes in the margins, underlined, etc. that it makes reading them again a pain. I hope that Amazon will always keep the option of sticky notes even if one day it allows writing directly on the book. Given the price, did I need the Scribe? No. I could’ve just continued to read these types of books as physical books. But, I am so glad that I can do it on the Scribe and have the wonderful kindle reading experience. My only complaint is that a few books purchased in the past don’t recognize the pen. This might just be an issue of needing to reformat all books and hopefully it will be fixed in the future. Even with those few books, I can still type sticky notes and highlight as before so it hasn’t bee a big deal. 2) Given the size of previous Kindles, sending a pdf and reading it just was never going to work well. The Scribe does a near perfect job. Now, having read some reviews, I was really worried about this must have. I read lots of pdfs from my laptop for my job, and as I sit reading look over to my Paperwhite and wish that I could use it instead (the E-ink is just so much better). Here’s my take on pdfs, if the pdf is nicely formatted to begin with then it comes across on the Scribe perfectly. Yes, you can write on it which is nice (kind of wish I could use sticky notes instead though) and easily export it to your email address. On the other hand, if the pdf is not nicely formatted and/or the text is a bit blurry to begin with, then it doesn’t come to the Scribe perfectly either of course. I have played around with preparing these troublesome pdfs by cropping or simply changing the margin size before sending and it seems to help, but the text is not as crisp. Still though, I can read the pdfs on the Scribe just as easily as reading them on my laptop. So, overall, the Scribe exceeded my expectations here. One strange thing I’ve come across is that when initially opening a pdf, it opens to a cover page so you have to actually go to the beginning by opening up the toolbar at the top then you can flip the pages. This is an example of needing to play around a bit with the Scribe to figure out some of the features. The entire focus on the “cover” thing in pdfs and notes seemed to be a big thing with the tech folks, might be a privacy issue they have in mind. I realize that some folks, myself included, use Google drive and other web-based options to store documents, but Amazon has done an excellent job of allowing the user to drag and drop a document into the Send to Kindle page/app (and, I make sure to choose the option to send only to my Scribe rather than clutter up all my devices). I have only tried one Word document so far but it came across perfectly on the Scribe. If you have a book pdf, you can simply write Chapter 1, 2, etc. on the page of each chapter then go to the notes to easily move to where you want to go. So, I have been extremely happy with this feature which would’ve been a deal breaker for me. 3) Others have said that writing on the Scribe feels nearly the same as writing on paper and it does. I plan to write lecture notes, answer keys, and just some notes for myself. Amazon has done a great job in allowing the notebooks to be easily sent to my email address as pdfs, and they come across on my laptop and Fire exactly has I’ve written them. I am really, really pleased with this aspect. In the past, I would scribble an answer key or some notes on a lecture (including Graphs and math) on some scrap paper then a year later when teaching the class again realize that I’d lost the notes and have to redo them. I will be doing all my writing on the Scribe and storing them for latter use. Having read some reviews, it sounded like the current software on the Scribe was not up to the competition. I have to say, however, I am very pleased with the existing software. You don’t get twenty different widths for the pen but rather five. I really don’t want to have to choose from a great many, and what they have now is just fine for my needs. It is true that you don’t have subfolders to create and a large notebook would be difficult to find things in. I get all of those issues. However, instead of writing a 100 page notebook I plan to write lecture notes in 10 notebooks of 10 pages in length saved under one folder. By using appropriate titles for each notebook I think it will actually be better than having one rather lengthy notebook. There’s not a great many templates to choose from, but I have found the ones currently available work just fine for my needs. Again, though, the Kindle Scribe exceeded my expectation for writing notes. Overall, I am thrilled with the Kindle Scribe. I really enjoy the reading and writing experience. Given the price, did I absolutely need the Scribe? Not really. I could read the physical textbooks/technical books. I could read the pdfs on my laptop. I could write notes on paper then scan them into my computer. Or, of course, I could do these things on a good tablet. However, I have always enjoyed the reading experience on a kindle and the Scribe might be the best yet. The writing experience on the Scribe is the closest digital device to paper that I have used. I am glad to have these things on one device which does not have all the distractions that come with laptops and tablets. I hope this review helps others in making their decisions. Oh, and as others have said, the battery is amazing compared to tablets and phones. ... show more
