Recycle your notebook and get organized with these five noteworthy features…
#1 It feels like actual paper
We see you, lover of words. Hoarder of stationary. Lug-around-er of heavy books. If you’ve had a hard time parting with paper, the new Kindle Scribe digital notebook might just be your gateway into modernity.
That’s because it’s got a real paper-like display designed to feel less like a screen and more like something you’ll actually want to write on, and get lost in.
What makes it feel like a paper notebook (but better)?
- The textured surface
- Its Ultra-fast responsiveness (really feels like you’re just writing)
- The Premium Pen: An accessory so good, you'll forget it’s not an ink pen (+ you’ll never have to charge it)
- The ability to write, underline, and highlight in color—in the margin
- And, it lets you take notes as you read the latest page-turner 📖
Unlike actual paper you won’t need to bunch it up and dunk it in the waste bin when your ideas fall flat, just refresh the screen. (And save trees.)
#2 You can search your notes
Still searching for that one really important note you jotted down in the all-hands meeting that will take your deck from “oh, interesting” to “wow, this must’ve been written by someone who really pays attention!”
With Kindle Scribe’s new AI features, you can easily, seamlessly search your notes in the digital notebook for the exact info you need. Whether they are highlighted sections of a book or handwritten musings in the margins of a PDF, the notes search feature makes it easier than ever to gather the info you need to succeed.
#3 You can ask for a summary of your notes
When you're in a pinch and don’t have the time (or patience) to comb through your notes, there’s a handy feature for that, too.
The Kindle Scribe is able to show you all your notes AND tell you what you noted—instantly—in a concise summary. Saving you time and mental space to focus on your creative process.
#4 Chicken scratch → legible notes
If you’re one of the many with handwriting that needs a forensic document examiner (it's a real job!) to decipher, the handwriting refine feature is for you! The Kindle Scribe can turn your messy illegible handwriting into legible text. 🪄
#5 Mark up eBooks and PDFs
Okayyy so you love printing out your PDFs and marking them up by hand, huh. What if we told you you can still mark up your little printouts without ever needing to fiddle with a toner cartridge ever again?
The Kindle Scribe has a PDF markup feature where you can import PDFs and mark them up, right on the device. It works with eBooks too!
BONUS FEATURES
I know we said just five new features, but there’s so much more!
- Up to 64GB Storage Space: To store your eBooks and docs.
- Docs on Demand: It’s easy to import docs from Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive directly to mark up.
- New USB-C Power Adapter: Charges in under 2.1 hours — perfect for Romantasy novel marathons.
