    I to think it's incredibly stupid that nothing comes with charging blocks anymore. I lose them all the time and they often stop working. And your animals were making me laugh.

      I don't want to be rude, but if you live in a third word countrie like me you can see a lot of "trash" from other countries in the stores and let me tell you that those things are still usefull but are to much just because someone "lose them and buy a new one are less uncomfortable".

      I bought a block with my Paperwhite, it's still wrapped and it's been since May. I've read about 50 books on it and it's only needed a charge 4 times, I used my phone charger each time. I also have a free usb port on a different wall outlet so if I need to charge daily I could without the block. I'm keeping the block BC I'm sure I'll use it for something but it's unlikely to be that specific Kindle 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I purchased the Kindle Scribe this week and love it so far! I primarily use my kindle Oasis for reading, but I’ve been waiting for a large screen like this to read on, outside of my iPad Air. Like you said, an e-ink display is so much more enjoyable to read on. I can’t put it down, and the battery life is amazing! The Scribe is definitely my primary reading device now. It’s great being able to enlarge the font, while still maintaining a lot of text on the screen.

    Finally, a fellow book lover’s perspective. I use my iPad for serious note-taking. I love my Scribe and my Oasis for reading and annotating my books. I have the same silicone on both devices because I can’t stand the bulk of the cases. I export the books I want to write directly on to PDF and send to my Kindle, otherwise I use the notes.

    @Lisa-BoundByBooks Рік тому +9

    Thanks for doing this review! I have an oasis, and just purchased the scribe over a week ago now,….. I can say that while I do like the oasis, it’s got glitches. And in less than a year, I needed it replaced because it completely froze on me. It happened right after it was out of warranty, but I was able to get Amazon to just replace it last week too. As a huge reader, I’m really loving the scribe! I’ve found the battery life really great so far. It’s faster than the oasis and any fires I’ve had in the past. And it charges extremely quick too, which is a huge plus! Hope you love it as much as I am. Hope I continue to love it. Crossing my fingers.

    I’m a lefty, too and oriented my Scribe with the large bar on the right. That way I can easily hold it with my right hand and use my left for writing or annotating. Great to have a review by a reader as opposed to negative commentary about the limited writing features. Audio books are great, too! #newsub

    I think when you erase there is an afterimage until the screen refreshes. It doesn't refresh as frequently as other types of display - which I think contributes to the longer battery life.

    I really have enjoyed the Scribe. I love the battery life, even leaving the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on it lasts for a couple of weeks or more. I also realized that you can change the screen picture when you aren’t using it to the cover of your current read. To me this has been one of the features lacking from most kindle readers. I often want to appreciate the cover art and you generally don’t see 5he covers much except in the library section or shelf. I’ve taken all kinds of notes and really like the ability to use this. I hope you have liked yours as well.

    I have a Remarkable 2, but I've been waiting for Kindle to do a larger Kindle for a long time.
    Evaluating it only as a Kindle you can write on and not a writing table, one big thing I wish is that the pen button was rotated 90 degrees so it's facing you when magnetically attached, and that you could choose for the button to be a Next Page buttton.
    When using the official case, it has support behind the pen that it would have worked perfectly. You could even flip the pen around point up or point down to have two options for how high or low you want the button to me.
    It's a missed opportunity.
