Read and write as naturally as you do on paper!

An invention inspired by you~ the new feature of Kindle Scribe is its writeable screen! With a 10.2” 300 PPI glare-free Paperwhite display, Kindle Scribe is perfect for reading and writing. Its large display offers plenty of space to take notes and keep a journal, as well as the ability to adjust the font size and margin width to make reading more comfortable.

This feature isn’t new to its competing e-reader developer, Kobo. There’s Kobo Elipsa which also offered note-taking capabilities but so far, Kindle Scribe provides a more thoughtful design and capabilities. It’s also relatively cheaper, starting at $339 while Kobo Elipsa retails at $399.

The power of the Pen

Kindle Scribe includes either a Basic or Premium Pen. Both don’t require charging and attach magnetically to the side of your Kindle~ The only perks Premium Pen has is a dedicated eraser and a shortcut button, which can be assigned to seamlessly switch between pen, highlighter, and more.
