    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

    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.

    Decent! I bought this to compare with my SuperNote, but the SuperNote has some features that I can't live without so I gifted this to my daughter. Nothing wrong with it, just for writing I prefer the SuperNote.

    It feels like im reading a paperback or hardback book. Worth the money. Also the battery life is amazing. I can read all day and still wont have to charge the battery until the next day.

    An amazing little device! I can take notes in a meeting instead of using tablets of paper; I can read a book on my lunch break; I can keep lists of to-do things. I love the different options for the handwriting too.

    Preferred over the ReMarkable ... AI and Reading

    Purchased with a gift card from points I earned on a credit account and an upgrade from the Kindle Paperwhite. This is a HUGE improvement over my iPad pro’s overly-slick glass screen with Paperlike screen film. I’m able to write normally with far less hand strain. The AI text conversion and summarization is what set it apart from Remarkable’s entry. I would like to see the ability to link notes come to this device as a future upgrade soon.

    This has replaced stacks of paper notebooks and pairs with my work laptop to save and share notes. It provides a much more efficient way of searching for something I wrote many meetings ago.

    Expensive

    Maybe Good only for Kindle users, but overpriced

    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.

    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 the note pad alot, You absolutely need an amazon account. You need kindle account. PEN TIPS arent the best you only get like 5 in a pack and they wear out like a pencil.

    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!!
