Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GB Color: Graphite Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
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 ... show more

  • Excellent device
Digital Storage Capacity: 64 GB Color: Graphite Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
For me, I haven’t had hands on any other version of the scribe except the OG. What a nice upgrade in terms of sharpness, build, writing feel, software. Overall the device has been excellent. Great battery life, auto adjusting light and warmth works quickly and very well, excellent for reading and the writing feel and features are really really solid. Thin, light and well made. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • Distracting white bezel, confusing UX but great product
Digital Storage Capacity: 64 GB Color: Graphite Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
I am familiar with Kindle devices, so got the BW as color display looked gray to me. I like how light weight the device is, beautiful display with uniform lighting and super fast !!! Nice new Google Drive and searchability options. Now the ugly and bad part, I cannot tolerate the distracting white frame around the device. The user experience is very confusing , not easy to use the device. I am still giving 5 stars for the hardware and knowingly purchased white bezel for a Black and white device . Hopefully Amazon fixes the user experience and has a gray colored Black and white frame and make the product cheaper ( very very expensive) ... show more

  • Misaligned display & uneven yellow backlight
Digital Storage Capacity: 64 GB Color: Graphite Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
The device it self has a lot to offer and it maybe the best kindle I have ever seen. However, this unit had two glaring issues that caused me to return it. The first is the screen was misaligned resulting in noticeable light coming through the right side of the screen in dark mode that was very distracting. The other was the yellow backlight when turned up past 18 left the left side of the display noticeable darker yellow than the right. For a device at this price point this feels completely unacceptable for either one of these issues to exist let alone both. I am not sure if my unit is just very defective and I may consider ordering another, but I have seen other points on Reddit saying kind of the same things so at the very least I think there are some big QA issues going on with this product. ... show more

  • Great device, bad lighting
Digital Storage Capacity: 64 GB Color: Graphite Offer Type: Without Kindle Unlimited
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. ... show more
