Kindle Scribe vs Supernote in our news:

2025. Kindle Scribe gets minor improvements



Amazon debuted the next generation of the e-note/e-reader Kindle Scribe. It's the largest in the brand's lineup and the only model that comes with a pen and the ability to write. It has the same size as the previous generation but features a redesigned screen with even borders surrounding the screen. Also it allows you to annotate within the margins of books. While the new display has a nice feel, it suffers from a ghosting issue. The back end of the premium pen works as an eraser, so you can flip it over when you want to erase some notes. The processor has not been updated so Kindle Scribe remains the slowest e-reader in the line-up. It often lags when starting to wake up or switching between journals and books.


2022. Kindle Scribe brings writing to Amazon’s popular e-reader



For the first time since the original Kindle was launched in late 2007, Amazon has introduced the ability to write directly on the device with a stylus. The new model, called Kindle Scribe, is priced at $340. This is a significant new feature for the product, though a few companies, such as Remarkable and Sony with their DPT-CP1 and DPT-RP1 models, have already pioneered this functionality. The device comes with its own stylus, which magnetically attaches to the side—similar to many tablets. The stylus does not require charging and uses EMR (electro-magnetic resistance), which means other styli may also work with the Scribe, though the company advises against this, stating that their stylus is specifically calibrated for use with the Kindle.
