Cool reader with easy set up. A case is definitely needed because holding the reader is slippery and I almost dropped it a few times. Overall I am bet pleased with it and have already started my library.

I liked reading since I was a child and this is the best purchase, it has no ads, so do not get distracted. the light adapts and is perfect for reading I can make a list of my books to read and the ones I have already read is wonderful, the pen is easy to use and can be adapted to use with a shortcut and underline and I love to be marking my favorite lines. It is certainly a purchase that you will not regret having made.

At my opinion those e-reader Amazon should give for free. The reason why, because it sticks only with amazon kindle books. You CAN NOT to use any other than amazon subscription services. for Example O'Reilly Media, `epic!` or other online reading book services. ONLY AMAZON BOOKS. You have to buy books from them to read or useless kindle unlimited subscription you need to pay for it.
To take just notes, I think has other options not such expensive like this item.
Disappointed on my purchase.

I’m a huge note taker while reading - but taking notes on a paperwhite is similar to having teeth pulled. This ups note taking to an entire new level. Sometimes it is nice - but other times, I dont want to hold it. It’s a hair too large. If I were back in college, this would be an amazing product to have! I think they could improve their design in their next generation, like thinner bezels. But overall, a great kindle, if the price tage makes sense for uour useage.

The larger size pages make it easier to read. Underlining and highlighting important passages helps me to remember and find material for future reference.
Carrying my whole library with me is amazing and keeps me entertained whenever I find a moment. I use it nearly every day.

This product is amazing! I am left handed and for me I haven't had any issues with pad reading the stylus. It writes in a fluid manner and i use this everyday for work and for reading. It's easy on the eyes and very simple to start up and operate. I can't compre to other writing tablets for this is my first one. I would highly recommend especially if the price is right.
I would recommend this to a friend

I had purchased the kindle scribe to get away from reading books off my iPad. Prior to the purchase I was unsure due to the price and other reviews. However so happy I bought it works great and doesn’t cause me eye strain like my iPad. Highly recommend!!

This is a great product. Only reason i wont give it 5 stars is because of the amount of wear on the stylus nib in shuch a short time (it came with 5 extras) and the price being a bit high for the limited storage and functionality. Love the feel of writing on this though, so much closer to pen/paper than any other solution ive tried yet.

As an e-reader its excellent. That said, I purchased the device to be a e-ink tablet for grad school. Its okay as a e-ink but definitely not the same writing experience as a remarkable. The palm rejection when writing is subpar and I often change the page while writing inadvertently. For the price, I just cant justify keeping this device. I spent over $500 with tax for this device and its just not worth the money. At $250-$300 this device would be a winner but for $449 it just doesn't make sense. Side note the Jade color is stunning in person. That made me give it 4 starts. Otherwise it would be 3 stars for me on this device.

Perfect size and weight. Screen is just the right size. Ability to play games on it as well is amazing. Also being able to take notes quickly is a plus without having to use actual paper

Excellent, it is my first experience with a tablet like this, where I can read and write, make notes, underline. It has been the best thing about having acquired this device.

The Kindle Scribe is an excellent way to read. And it looks well. I like the white background with black text, just like a regular book. I rarely write with it as my script is horrible. It will convert script to text, but you can't change the typeface.

had the old one, cannot tell this one is a different one, but still love it, good thing the color is so flashy, stylys too same as before, which was and is perfect

Love the thin, light design, plus the beautiful metallic color to differentiate the tablet from my other devices.
Don't like the browser though it's not why I bought this device. The preinstalled browser is not programmed to load all the features of any given website.
Also it's hard to figure out how to shut it off to save the battery or how to increase/decrease the backlight.
Love having access to all my kindle purchases and GoodReads content too.
