  I really like this product. I use it every single day at work and I use it frequently at home too. It replaced a physical planner for me which is great because you have to buy a new one every year. I use the notebooks heavily and found routines that work for me. Creating custom templates using the AI refine writing feature has been great. I do wish it had different notebook templates or a way to add your own custom ones. I also wish you could copy your notebooks easier (you can use the lasso tool, which I do, but sometimes it’s time consuming) Being able to send and share annotated PDFs has been great, the process is smooth and easy. Something about writing on a text PDF is so cool. My one complaint is that I wish PDFs weren’t relegated solely to the library section and could be moved to the notebook section if desired. I ended up being a touch disappointed with the special button on the pen, you can only choose between a couple of functions to assign to it and you must hold the button down to use the feature. I end up always clicking the button because of the way I hold a pen so that’s kind of annoying. The eraser is nice though. I like the library portion and reading on it is great. There is a back lit screen that can be adjusted and the page size is good. I do find that I accidentally swipe backwards in my books a lot so that’s mildly annoying too. I also wish you could customize the “collections” the books are in, just something about it is not great. Other than that reading from it is very nice. I would highly recommend a case that can fold into a stand though, it makes draping it over your knee or propping up much more pleasant. Finally I’ve had a blast drawing with it. The pencil function is pretty good and you can come up with some cool stuff! Over all I’ve been using my scribe daily for the past three months. I really like it.

  I take a lot of notes, but the issue I keep running into is that once a notebook is full, it becomes difficult to quickly reference anything I’ve written. To solve that, I’ve been looking into electronic notebooks. I previously tried the reMarkable, but it wasn’t the right fit for me—the ghosting was noticeable, and the muted colors didn’t justify the price. Switching to the Kindle Scribe has been a much better decision for several reasons: * Affordable – Thanks to the Amazon spring sale, I picked it up for a third of what I paid for the reMarkable 2. * Minimal ghosting – While it does have some ghosting, it's barely noticeable and much more manageable. * Feels natural to write on – The writing experience is smooth and really mimics pen and paper. * Backlit and black & white only – As someone who is color confused, I actually find the black-and-white display with backlighting to be an advantage. * Easy to use – The transition from physical notebooks was seamless. I use it just like I would a regular notebook.
