This feels like an amazing deal for students

It’s wild an IPad is a better deal than a kindle scribe.

Could Apple's OLED iPad Mini Finally Be a Kindle Killer?

The weird thing is I don't think the Kindle is a loss-leader for Amazon anymore. I really wanted a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, but $700 is a tough pill to swallow when iPad Air costs far less. But I still can't buy into the iPad as a notebook replacement with the current tactile feel and glossy display

Me, watching all the beautiful e-readers here and wanting to buy more, when I already have one

I'm so obsessed with the Kindle Scribe in Fig, but unfortunately all I can afford this year is the Basic in Matcha. Which is adorable in itself, but the Fig color in the other one does things to my brain. Unfortunately a 630 dollar device is not in the books for me 😭

Is the Note Air 5 C a better choice than a Kindle Scribe for grad school?

overwhelmingly, yes. the Kindle Scribe is really only useful for a particular kind of person who is still primarily concerned only with reading in the Amazon ecosystem. it is also wildly overpriced for what it does. for grad students I would recommend either the Supernote Manta, Note Air5 C, Go 10.3

Best e-reader under $100? Including used options

Woot.com has great refurbished units occasionally. Look for the 32gb versions of the PW, it is the signature edition but labeled as a regular unit. I got one recently for $69. If you dont care about ads and can do with less storage, the 8gb goes for $40-50. Scratch &dent units are actually in quite

Thinking of getting a Kindle

Kindle has: • Basic • Paperwhite • Colorsoft • Oasis • Scribe Me, I have the Basic (matcha). Cheaper, the size is great! Fits most of my bags. Hindi nga lang waterproof and walang warm light. There are Kindles na walang ads. Mas mahal lang ng konti sa mga with ads. Pwede mo naman ipatanggal uung ads

Finalmente peguei um Oasis

Sim, nunca entendi o porquê deles terem descontinuado o Oasis e não consigo ver o Scribe como um substituto dele como o "e-reader Premium" da Amazon.Espero que eles acabem indo na onda da Xteink (e agora a Boox também) e façam um mini kindle, pra ter um e-reader com botões físicos de fácil acesso pr

Empfehlung für E-Book-Reader und Seiten zum Downloaden

Farbdisplay ist ein wenig ein Knackpunkt. Ich habe einen kindle colorsoft. Das geht zwar schon, aber es ist halt sehr matt und nicht so viele Farben zur Auswahl. Über Calibre kann man relativ gut Bücher als sideload hochladen. Notizen sind aber nicht ideal. Mich reizt dafür der neue kindle scribe co

WTS Boox Go 10.3 (Gen 1)

it's difficult for me to believe that anyone would consider the Kindle Scribe an upgrade over the Go 10.3 of any generation.

Reading newspapers on eReader?

I’d agree cost-wise but 300 € (which is the price on the PocketBook website with free shipping in almost all of the EU, and it’s even a little less on Amazon.de) is not that bad here, comparatively (e.g. when the Kobo Sage was still available, I don’t think I saw it anywhere in our online shops belo
