Amazon's new Kindle Scribe lets you write directly on books.
The second generation Kindle Scribe has white bezels around the screen and a green (metallic jade) or gray (tungsten) frame, as opposed to the thick black frame of the previous model. The discount applies to both colors and, for the gray version, to all storage options (16GB, 32GB and 64GB). When We love the new design and think it makes reading and writing more comfortable.
The new Kindle Scribe uses artificial intelligence to help you clean up and summarize your notes with the Summarize and Refine tools, and you can apply them to individual pages or your entire notebook. These features suited us very well. In her review, Engadget associate reviews editor Cherlene Lowe found that Scribe was able to “make sense of a disorganized outline” she wrote by correctly arranging list items in sequential order, and she saw “largely accurate results” when he summarized her notes . “Any mistake the system made seemed reasonable since my handwriting was terrible,” she wrote.
Now there's a better way to write directly in eBooks. With the 2024 Kindle Scribe, Amazon introduced Active Canvas, a small window that appears when you place your pen over what you're reading. The field can be resized and will not disappear when you leave the page. You'll also soon be able to write on folding margins, a feature expected to arrive early this year. One of our biggest complaints about the new Kindle Scribe was its relatively high price, so if you like it, don't miss the chance to get it at a discount.
