Kindle Scribe

by Amazon

On November 30th, 2022, Amazon introduced the Kindle Scribe. The screen is enormous compared to other Kindles (10.2 inches: too big to hold easily in your hand?), but its main new feature is that it can be used for writing as well as reading: it comes with a pen. The idea is that you can write lists and notes, including sticky notes in the books you’re reading on your Kindle. It’s pricey: over $300 even for the cheapest Kindle Scribe, which comes with 16GB of storage and a ‘basic’ (rather than ‘premium’) pen. It could be worth it if you do all your reading on your Kindle and want one place to keep not only your books but also all your notes about them. Otherwise, a basic Kindle with a separate reading journal is a cheaper option!
