I upgraded from the 2022 Kindle Scribe (32GB) using Amazon’s trade-in program, which worked smoothly and gave me 20% off. I appreciate the program and hope Amazon resells or responsibly recycles the older devices. The hardware improvements are immediately noticeable. The new form factor feels great in the hand it’s lighter, better balanced, and the white bezels look much cleaner. Removing the uneven bezel from the original was a big improvement. The device is also noticeably faster. Navigating my library and notebooks is much snappier. The display is excellent with terrific contrast, which may be helped by the white bezels. Writing with the Premium Pen feels even better than before. Latency went from excellent to superb, and the spacing between the display and glass really makes it feel like writing on paper. The texture is slightly smoother, but after long sessions it’s a noteworthy improvement. Software improvements are meaningful. The new Workspace concept is far better than the old notebook model. Being able to combine books, PDFs, and notes together is extremely useful, and finally being able to move notes between notebooks is long overdue. The new homepage that shows recently added and recently accessed content is also helpful. Battery life remains fantastic and continues to be a major advantage over competing devices. The AI note summarization is promising and I’m looking forward to seeing Amazon expand those tools. My only complaints: Amazon’s official cases are extremely expensive, and I wish the device were waterproof. Overall this is my favorite device I own. It’s expensive, but with the trade-in discount it becomes a strong value.

I've purchased this black and white Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, and after writing hundreds of pages on them, I love both. I've reviewed the Colorsoft on the Colorsoft page. This is a general review of the B&W, but I'll try to write this review particularly for people who are trying to decide between the two. TLDR: The B&W is a better device for what it does. I still prefer the Colorsoft. I rated the Colorsoft 4 stars, and I would rate this one 5. The black and white model is pretty close to perfect for what I want, which is to be able to read and write on a device with simplicity. I don't have complex use cases - the document/folder structure is intuitively easy to use. There's no learning curve - writing on the new kindle scribe is as easy as reading on it. The writing feel is EXCELLENT, and the screen is crisp. The brightness and amber-ness are very similar to my Kindle Oasis and much easier on the eyes than the lighting on a Kindle basic. Key point: writing is noticeably more paper-like on the B&W than on the Colorsoft. There's no tablet-feel on this, and there is a little bit of a tablet feel on the Colorsoft - this is really hard to articulate, but it just feels a little better to write on the B&W. Having said that, I've written literally hundreds of pages on the Colorsoft and really, really enjoy that, too. If I'd never tried the B&W, I wouldn't notice any issue at all. This isn't a device for the complex "workflows" you see on YouTube or Reddit, but documents are searchable, and the organizing structures make sense. I've compared handwriting recognition on the Kindle to that of couple of major LLMs, and the Kindle handwriting recognition is better - it's REALLY good. It's wild when you're searching your kindle for something and references in your own handwritten documents show up, too. Whispersync means your documents are regularly backed up - not as quickly as Google Docs, but much more quickly than I expected. And it's easy to email or upload PDFs for extra backup or use on a laptop. Pen choices are great. Template choices are terrible, but I already ranted about that on my Colorsoft review. There's a LOT of room for growth on the templates, but they are generally less annoying on the B&W than on the Colorsoft. Flashing is minimal - if flashing doesn't bother you on your existing Kindle, it won't bother you on the B&W scribe. By contrast, when I tested the Remarkable Pro products, the flashing was really distracting to me - as a result, I found them difficult to use. The Colorsoft flashes when you use the shader, so I just avoid that. Ghosting is also really minimal on both devices - occasionally there's a little ghosting but it's rare and not distracting. I read a lot and I write a lot - for work, for personal use, and just for general to do lists, notes, and reminders. Both the B&W and the Colorsoft are fantastic for both. When I got my first kindle, I was amazed at how great it was to be able to read at 3 am without waking anyone up - and have an entire library of books at hand. I'm equally amazed at how great it is to be able to write at 3 am without waking my spouse up - and have a library of my own notebooks at hand. Similarly, I have traveled three times with this device, and I love having the books I am currently reading and the notebooks I am currently writing in with me. And I wouldn't have said "distraction free" matters to me ... except that it turns out that it does. I've written two academic papers and part of a book chapter on this, and if I were on my laptop, I would have been looking up references, checking email, maybe running some of the text through an LLM. I'm so SO much better at just getting complex ideas down on "paper" with this than I am on my laptop. There's stuff to fill in later - I have to look up refs, gather up images, etc - and certainly do editing that is easier to do on a laptop than on the scribe - but it's astonishing to me how much I can get done when nothing else is competing for my attention. And while there are software updates that would be helpful (better templates, ways to put links within docs, a way to keep a book open on one side of the device with a notebook open on the other side, and I could go on!), there are workarounds that are good enough. You can take notes in the side margin of a book and copy/paste those notes to a notebook - it's clunky but doable. The B&W has a crisper screen, better writing feel, and better lighting. Black and white drawings on the B&W are also really excellent. But I'm choosing the Colorsoft. As someone who has been using a Kindle since they had keyboards, I did not think I cared one bit about color. But I really love seeing my library in color - I've accumulated thousands of books over the years, and "shopping the closet" of my kindle is more fun when the covers are in color. And I also find color really useful as an organizing tool inside my own notebooks - there's no flashing with the highlighting tool, so I use that a lot. I like having color covers on my own notebooks. Book highlights can be sorted by color. Color ends up being really useful and just ... fun. So I'm keeping the colorsoft. Before the new scribes were announced, I spent months trying to choose an e-ink writer that would match the experience of reading on a Kindle, but for writing. I watched endless YouTube videos, read tons of Reddit opinions, tried as many devices as I could get my hands on, and had at least five different devices in various carts. At the end of the day, I just wanted a backlit e-ink device for reading and writing - one that was easy to use, reasonably secure, and easy enough to write on that I would quickly lose awareness that I was writing on a device, and just be able to sink into my writing. Both the Colorsoft and the B&W check those boxes with room to spare, and the B&W knocks them out of the park. If you don't care about color, get the B&W. If you want to prioritize writing feel, get the B&W. If you think color will add value, get the Colorsoft. But both are really excellent devices for reading and writing. For that purpose, both new Scribes are just

I love tech, but the new Kindle Scribe is actually the first item I ever bought on the release day (okay, I ordered it on release day; took a few days to arrive). This is an exceptional E-Reader, and I've been a Kindle aficionado from the early days. I had the last model Scribe just for the larger reading screen; at first I didn't care about the notetaking capabilities, but soon found it indespesible. So why is the new model worth the upgrade? For starters, a larger screen. And if size isn't everything, the new display is phenomenal. The front lighting is even, adjusts (if you set it to) to the ambient light in your room, making it perfect for bright or night. The e-ink experience is better than ever; crisper, clearer, more like reading off an actual page than ever before! It's also faster, whether turning pages, or skipping around the home, library, or workspace screens (and kudos to the new layout of the homescreen, which organizes everything beautifully and includes a quick notes to instantly jot down a thought.) The writing experience is even better than before, with virtually no noticeable lag in pen strokes and a more paper-like feel to writing. The AI has 100% perfectly transcribes my normally illegible penmanship with no mistakes so far (pause for a moment of silence for the Apple Newton). The premium pen it comes with attaches to the side very strongly (I can pick the whole device up just holding the attached pen), and writes smoothly. I find myself writing more just because it's an enjoyable experience! Haven't figured out the cure for writer's cramp, yet. The device gives you more screen space while being lighter overall, so it's very comfortable to hold and transport. Plus, it's a small thing, but I LOVE the thinner, uniform, light colored frame. The previous Scribe had the one side that was thicker; maybe for holding, but it just always seemed askew. It's funny but sometimes the aesthetics of a piece of tech adds as much to the joy of using it as the tech itself. In planning for my upgrade, I asked Alexa+ if I should go with this monochrome version or the Colorsoft. She suggested since I read on it more than write, this is the one that would give the best reading experience, explaining that it gave crisper text and a more paper-like visual experience than the Colorsoft. I haven't tried the Colorsoft, but I can say, the joyful reading experience with this model leaves me no regrets. If you're in the market for a terrific E-Reader that also gives a great notetaking experience (and not worried as much about coloring, sketching or doodling), this is the best you can get. If you already have the prior Kindle Scribe, you won't regret the upgrade!

The form factor is perfect, very light and thin, easy to hold. Battery life is great as with all ereaders usually. The screen is crisp and sharp, no problems there. There are two cons though: the light, and white border. I first bought a scribe colorsoft and it is really awesome. Even though the screen isn't quite as crisp due to the color layer, the lighting on the colorsoft really makes up for it. But I wasn't happy with the slight grain on the colorsoft and decided to buy a B&W version instead. The first B&W unit had very uneven light, so much so that it was distracting and I was unable to enjoy reading. So I bought another one and it had the exact same light problems. I guess that's how it's manufactured in 2025 even though my 2022 scribe had uniform lighting. I put both B&W scribes and my scribe colorsoft all next to each other and used them for a few minutes each and also on their own for a few days each. Well, to my surprise the scribe colorsoft had the most uniform light and was actually more pleasing or easy on the eyes than the B&W versions. I really liked reading on the scribe colorsoft much more because the light was so even and non distracting. I wasn't expecting this outcome because the grain on the colorsoft is there and I'd rather not have the color layer. In a turn of events, I decided to return both B&W scribes and keep the scribe colorsoft instead. I can see myself getting used to the screen grain quite easily. Also, the white bezels don't look as clean as black, but it does match the pen. This is a personal preference. I love the B&W scribe, I think it has the best and most crisp screen on the market with a frontlight, but the lighting is just too uneven for me to accept. I hope future revisions fix this light problem, because otherwise it is a nearly perfect device.

I have purchased the Kindle Scribe B&W, Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, and Boox Note Air5c. My review is on the device first, then their comparisons. I also posted a similar review on the Kindle Colorsoft. After a month of heavy daily use (1-3hrs), the Kindle Scribe B&W has become my favorite reading and writing device. One of its biggest strength is the clarity of the screen; crisp, bright, and easy on the eyes for long sessions. There’s no writing lag, and the pen feels smooth and natural, with adjustable settings plus built‑in eraser and highlighter functions. Writing on this device genuinely feels like pen and paper. See screenshot with and without front light. Performance is consistently fast: no reading lag, no loading delays, and no ghosting even after intensive use. The notebook system is intentionally simple, with clean folder organization and easy export/import to email, Google Drive, OneNote, and OneDrive. I especially appreciate the Canvas feature, which lets me write directly in DRM‑protected books without breaking my reading flow. Annotations and highlights can be exported. The Scribe’s AI tools work primarily inside the AI Notebook. You can summarize handwritten notes, convert handwriting to text, and ask questions about the topics you’ve written. The AI pulls information from across all your notebooks to give insights or explanations based on your own content. (See screenshot) AI summarization doesn’t work inside books or PDFs, likely due to content restrictions. My workaround is exporting highlights to OneDrive and using an external AI tool when I need further analysis and organization. I have also found sending my notes to Alexa device useful. I created a calendar for the entire month of April, with important events, sent that note to Alexa and it created calendar events and reminders to my google calendar. Other strengths: excellent battery life, Bluetooth support, and the ability to send content (I.e. scanned documents) from my phone straight into the Kindle for direct writing. Cons: The Scribe doesn’t offer complex organizational tools like tagging or hyperlinking. However, Kindle’s global search works across notebooks, books, PDFs, and the store, and AI search inside notebooks is thorough. There’s also no color, but I use the Kindle app on my phone or PC when I need it. The device also lacks native speakers or a mic, though Bluetooth is available. The device is locked into Amazon's ecosystem, however I am still able to import EPub books from Libby, which works for me. I found that the majority of the ebooks I wanted to own were DRM protected anyway, no matter what device I use, so being in Amazon's ecosystem doesn't make a difference for me. I suggest looking up specific ebooks formatting availability across websites and determine if an open ecosystem is wanted or Kindle will suffice. Compared to the Color Scribe: Screen clarity is comparable; my husband believes the Color Scribe is clearer than the B&W, though I think the B&W is clearer. The Color version has a minimal grain from the color layer and has a cooler hue, whereas the B&W has a warmer hue. The B&W’s no-front-light mode is far superior in clarity. The Color Scribe’s no‑front‑light mode is noticeably darker. (Screenshots: Color scribe on left, B&W on right. Front light and without front light comparisons.) The B&W model also includes 2~3GB more storage. All other capabilities are the same. Compared to the Boox Note Air 5C: The Scribe is simpler, smoother, and easier to learn. Writing in DRM books is seamless due to Canvas, whereas Boox relies on standard Kindle limitations. The Scribe’s screen is brighter and clearer, and writing has zero lag. Boox offers an open ecosystem, but its color layer is much grainier and the writing delay is noticeable. I would just buy a tablet if an open ecosystem is needed. The Kindle Scribe B&W is an outstanding device for focused reading, and writing, with top tier clarity and performance. If color isn’t a major part of your reading or note‑taking life, the Kindle Scribe B&W is the better choice.

The Display: A Literal Game Changer As an avid reader of fantasy, thriller, and horror, I really appreciate the screen upgrade. Moving from the 2022 version to this 2025 model, the first thing I noticed was the increase in screen size (now a crisp 11-inch display). The sharpness and clarity are incredible - it makes the atmospheric descriptions in my horror novels feel even more immersive. The text is "inky" and clear, which is a huge plus for long reading sessions. Speed and Performance: The performance difference is night and day. Page Turning: It is significantly faster than the previous model. I no longer feel that slight "lag" when flipping through a fast-paced thriller. System Snappiness: Navigating through my library or opening large notebooks is much more fluid. It feels like a modern tablet without losing the E-ink comfort. Weight: It is also much lighter in your hands compared to the 2022 version. Note-Taking & Productivity: While I mostly use this for reading, I’ve started diving deeper into the note-taking features. The new Workspace is exactly what the Scribe needed. Cloud Integration: Being able to utilize Google Drive, OneDrive, and OneNote directly on the device is a massive productivity boost. Organization: Managing notebooks is much more intuitive now. I'm looking forward to spending more time mastering the workflow, but even as a "casual" note-taker, it feels much more professional than the 2022 version. Final Thoughts: If you are coming from the older Scribe, the trade-in is absolutely worth it for the speed and the workspace features alone. It’s an awesome device that bridges the gap between a world-class e-reader and a functional digital notebook.

I want this piece of tech to work so badly, I pre-ordered this 3rd Gen Kindle Scribe the moment they announced it. All I have ever wanted for an eReader is an iPad 11 inch form factor with an e-paper screen. This is EXACTLY that, and already being a huge proponent for the Kindle ecosystem I was thrilled when they announced this revision to the Scribe line. I already own a Kindle Paperwhite and a Kindle Scribe Gen 1, both of which work flawlessly and I enjoy using an insane amount. Truly these are pieces of tech that have changed my life. When I received the Kindle Scribe 3rd Gen I immediately noticed the uneven lighting. The left side of the Scribe had much more yellow than the right side. This was disqualifying and I immediately knew I had to return this device I was so excited about. I should note for people reading this: I have a tendency to use the brightness at 24/24 and the warm light on 22/24 or 24/24 on all of my eReaders. If you don’t use these devices at max brightness then you may not notice this evenness in lighting, but I use all my Kindles near max brightness and warmth and the discrepancy across the page is very obvious. It’s very important to me that the Scribe can deliver its intended and promised performance at those settings, and to be honest at $500 for a dedicated eReading device it should be important to all of us. My iPad Mini, iPad 11th gen, Kindle Paperwhite 16GB and Gen 1 Kindle Scribe do not suffer from uneven lighting across their screens in any way shape or form. All of these devices cost LESS than this dedicated $500 eReader. After returning the first Kindle 3rd gen I waited months before ordering another. I finally ordered it again, and I received the new model this past week. It has the SAME issue as the first one I received, the left side of the Scribe is unnaturally warm and the right side is cooler toned. To make matters worse, this one also suffers from what I would describe as “dead spots” where the side illumination does not satisfactorily reach the middle of the screen. This means that the main area your eyes are reading from is often distractingly dark in contrast to the much brighter sides of the screen, which are in turn contrasted between left side warmth and right side cool tones. As a user I find it unacceptably distracting. I ordered another Kindle 3rd Gen in a final bid to see if I couldn’t get lucky with a model that didn’t have these poor quality control issues. The third one I received had the exact same uneven warm light issues (in addition to having a completely different warm light appearance than the 2nd Kindle 3rd Gen I ordered, which is also odd. iPads don’t have different temperature screens from each other if they’re the same model, this should be calibrated at the factory). At this point I’m giving up, accepting that despite the worse form factor, weight, speed and artwork on my Kindle Scribe Gen 1 I’m going to have to stick with it as it is effective in the only thing that truly matters: Giving me a evenly lit and friction free reading experience. The screen is lit perfectly and evenly the whole way through, and the backlight actually gets BRIGHTER than this new model. I want to touch on the good points, because unfortunately besides the disqualifying screen this device is amazing. I love the white border, all Kindles should have a white border option in my opinion. That’s my preferred color for eReaders and I would particularly love to see it come to the Paperwhite (a white model of the “Paperwhite”, imagine that). The form factor is also perfect, the weight is actually 73 grams LIGHTER (3rd Gen is 392g, 1st Gen is 465g) despite being a larger Kindle. This is simply amazing, and makes the device feel so incredible to hold while reading, something I have never been able to say for the asymmetric 1st Gen. The artwork for the lock screen is brilliant, a wild improvement to the spooky hand drawn oddities that populate the obligatory covers on the 1st gen (Tire in front of the lake? Who is that for?). I still wish Kindle would let us upload our own backgrounds for the lock screen, I don’t always love advertising what I’m reading to the world and I don’t always love the forced artwork that they give us. But if I have to use Kindle’s artwork I want to make a point that I’m thrilled with the art on the lock screen for the 3rd Gen, the winter scenes are particularly beautiful and well done. The new pen is also greatly improved, the writing experience doesn’t feel like you’re going to scratch the Kindle like on the 1st Gen Scribe and the eraser is softer. Still wish we could select the writing tool to be ONE function (I only ever use the highlighter) and hide that awful writing toolbar while reading (I hate having a massive black dot onscreen while reading, it’s so distracting). The chip is faster. Not a necessity with eReaders and I think it’s almost funny to brag about this aspect for a devices that is purposefully so limited, but it’s noticeable and is worth commendation. Page turns are snappy, menu navigation is nearly instantaneous now. Fantastic. All in all this is a miracle of a product with an absolutely disqualifying flaw. It’s like buying a high end sports car where one half of the windshield is tinted way darker than the other. The performance is amazing under the hood but the driving experience is awful because you can’t help but fixate on an annoying and glaring distraction. I truly hope they fix the lighting in the Kindle Scribe 4th Gen, goodness knows I’ll be ordering it as soon as they announce it. But for $500 I need to be blown away by this device, especially if it only does ONE thing. This is a massive misstep for Amazon. I’m not sure if the lighting is a result of cutting the weight and thickness of this device so much, but I’d rather have some weight and size added back if it means being able to read without dead spots and uneven lighting.

Absolutely worth it! After initially purchasing both color and B&W I returned the color. I found the tiny grains distracting. The B&W is so crisp and sharp. The Workspace feature is simple yet productive. While there are a decent choice of templates, creating and uploading pdf planners, journals, lesson plans or any template you can design in a doc and save to pdf is super easy. Owning the scribe has led to more serious reading, annotating, note-taking, introspective writing, and overall enjoyable intellectual pursuits instead of scrolling. One of my favorite possessions.
