Kindle Scribe Review - Student Perspective!

This is a garbage device. Buggy as heck and customer service from Amazon is useless.

what about the screen ? I use wacom tablets and a pen, and over time as I've been using the tablet got scratched. And as far as I knowm the screen is using a plastic surface. How about the durability while using the pen?

I don't like it is too square-ish, a little bit larger would be great

A little too whiny for my taste. I doubt any product meets his loft standards

This was the most useful review ever! Knowing that I can’t compare side by side or the sticky notes are dealbreakers. Thank you!!

Thanks for your informative video. I have a couple of questions. First, is it possible to upload books (Pdf and Epub) that I did buy to Kindle Scribe? Second, can I copy a text from Pdf or E book to my notes?

The price on this thing and the remarkable 2 make absolutely no sense. They use mobile tech from 2011 with a e-ink screen that can't be "that" expenisve. So why do these things cost an arm and a leg? A remarkable costs more than my 4k 240hz, mini led (over 1100 dimming zones),32" monitor. That just makes no fkn sense to me. A remarkable costs as much as a mid tier phone or a cheaper desktop.

It's e-ink which isn't that expensive of a technology. With hardware froim 2011 or something. They can't even bother to give the devices hardware that's smooth enough for the menu to be super responsive and more capable.

I enjoy it for multiple reasons, many of which you’ve listed. I do prefer to have color highlighters of which this doesn’t have. It’s kind of frustrating for me to annotate pdfs on for this reason. And this was the main reason I purchased this device.

Got a Amazon Fire 8. Love it.

how do you add send to kindle to your amazon bar

I replaced the iPad with Kindle Scribe, and I felt 80%satisfied. My needs are very clear: reading, taking notes. The deficiencies are not enough optimization of PDF, not comfortable reading the literature.

without eraser is not only worthless, itis damaging on your time, enegy and peace of mind because it is a writing tablet, ypu will need to erase something after some time. what would you do instead. cross line everything you wrote and you would erase otherwise? that pen will eventally end up in the garbage bin, believe me and it will happen wayyyyy before it's end of life product... or repleaceble tip

Harris. Lovely to see you back. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.

I got rid of my iPad and bought myself Fire HD Max. And I tried Kindle Scribe. Initially, I did not know what will I use it for, then I told myself that I should have bought this when I was taking my masters. Now, I use it as a digital paper and I like the writing experience a lot. I will definitely use this for my doctorate.

I really tried to like this scribe, but, it’s too limited for me. The iPad really solves all of my issues…it’s color, I can split the screen to have a book on one side, Goodnotes on the other. I was disappointed.

It is very hard to hold, I had to use the case as well.

What storage did you get? Do you think it is enough for you?

My first time on your channel and really enjoyed the video. Great content and production quality. I purchased a Kindle scribe on sale for 240 bucks, which I think is quite fair for the device!

Do we have to change the tip on the Staedler like the one on the amazon pen?

I don't find it good for my purposes, but hopefully they fix it. I work with large pdfs and need to be able to mark them up, take notes etc. You can upload them in kindle format or keep the native pdf format, but either format has some serious limitations. I have an the first gen. remarkable too, and don't like it because no back lit display.

Hey Harris. First time on your channel due to the Kindle Scribe. Man hope I will get answer from you or anybody else who has a Scribe and can compare with my experience. I got a problem of the display on the right edge of the screen (anywhere between 5 - 0mm) not registering properly the pen interaction - like writing in those areas or tapping on the toolbar. There is definite difference with how the screen recognises the pen strokes on the left edge of the screen, where works with no problem. So in order to get the right edge work properly I am forced to apply more pressure on the display with the pen. Kinda gets really annoying when you use the toolbar a lot or you see your pen skipping. The problem was worse in the third party case where probably the magnets messed things up even more. But even outside the case the problem persists, albeit in a smaller degree. Could you guys please check how its on your Scribes?

Harris Craycraft Thank you very much!

I love ❤️ the way you edit ✍🏾 your videos I love 💗 watching your videos I’m your biggest fan you make awesome 🤩 😎 👏🏾 videos

Max uoload file size is 200MB ! So not able read pdfs above 200mb. Without sd card, all personal pdfs must be uploaded ... only personal drive is 5 Gb for those documents?

One thing I have yet to see covered in a review with the Scribe. I know you can use the software to transfer documents to the Scribe for mark up, but what about transferring hand written notes from a meeting to your computer (not using any document mark up)? Does it convert your notes to text or is an image?

I put a popsocket on the back of mine which has a clear case on it, the socket is on the case not my actual device for holding it. It is bigger than the typical e-reader but, I use for work notes and to have a book access for when I want to read.

mine just arrived today--this was very helpful--thank you!!

Hope you have been well brother

very nice ❤

Bro, nice hat. Thanks for the advertising. Hope all is well. As for the review, I still love the old school method of holding a paperback or hardcover book.

You look like country Justin Timberlake

you should review the remarkable!

Interesting review of the kindle scribe considering that you're an ipad guy.
Its good to see someone appreciate this device despite of its very limited capabilities. It really is a digital minimalist device

He's back ! Yay !

Hey. Welcome back. I actually miss you.

I like the hat.

Nice to see you again

He's back! Hope all is well.

Hey brother, good too see a video from you, have a good holiday.

It’s good you are back!

Absolutely won’t ever buy a kindle. Awesome video though 🦅

How’s the “Beat up Martin” test?

Welcome back, Harris! I've missed your quality videos. Hope you are doing well!

Everytime you come back you look older which makes me feel old 😭

Congrats on 100k, and welcome back! :)

Nice ‘stache my guy!
