New Kindle ScribeColorsoft 2025

I fear that it will be still too much of a kindle with just some note taking attached. I tried the last two iterations of the Scribe and found the software so lacking, that I couldn’t keep them. Even though from the hardware point of view they were great.

Mi volt a legjobb céges karácsonyi ajándék, amit kaptál?

Ez szerintem elég rizikós, mert egy amazon kindle scribe 150-200ezer forint, viszont nem mindenkinek jön be az ebookon olvasás

Alternative to DeDRM

im gonna second this, i have regrets now after buying the scribe and not exploring other options more before hand. Amazon is as anti consumer as they get now.

Kindle Scribe - Colorsoft Edition

More info direct from Amazon: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/new-amazon-kindle-scribe-color Nearly $100 more expensive than the Boox Note Air 4C, which is arguably more capable. I don’t understand their pricing strategy. I suppose it’s for people deep in the Amazon ecosystem.

Why in the heck did she need the brand new expensive kindle scribe when she NEVER shows herself reading?! As an avid reader still reading off a 1st edition kindle or borrowing books from the library I’d love to have one but could never imagine paying that much for one. She is so ridiculous and privi

Disappointing development

Saw a floor desk on this sub. I thought I was only one.

Work notes mostly. I like to journal and have a habit tracker there as well. I also converted my kindle books to the format it can handle and it also acts as my e-reader as well! I actually first bought a Scribe and didn't like the slowness and hiccups it seemed to have. The scribe has a browser (sl

For Ao3 reading: Cheaper Kindle vs Smaller Kobo vs Expensive Boox?

Amazon has a bad habit of deleting files off Kindles, yes - but it’s files transferred under specific circumstances. (Specifically, it seems to be “azw3 files transferred via USB, if they have an EBOK flag set instead of PDOC, so the Kindle sees them as “books” instead of “personal documents”, and d

По поводу электронных книг

Kindle scribe. Со стилусом, большой экран, подсветка, тачскрин. В последнем обновлении добавили возможность на страницах книг рисовать стилусом, раньше можно было только в заметках такое делать. Но стоимость не демократичная. Я свою за 36 брал пару лет назад.

Why don't people tell it like it is?

I had Go 10.3 for a year or so. It took me a while to get used to their complex menus. The only downside for me was the lack of front-light. I took Kindle Scribe 2024, and to be honest, after Boox the OS of Kindle seems so limited for note-taking. Now, I am contemplating between Note Air 5C and Go 1
