Kindle Scribe (2024) review: nothing to write home about

55% Informative

The Kindle Scribe is almost identical to its predecessor save for a few cosmetic differences.

It now arrives in a beautiful new Metallic Jade colorway, and it has even, paper-like white trim instead of the asymmetric black bezels on the original model.

Amazon 's new note-taking capabilities still fall short of the competition.

The Kindle Scribe is a better e-reader for taking notes compared to when it made its debut two years ago .

While the old sticky notes and highlighted passages sync with Kindle mobile apps , you can’t view the Active Canvas notes on your Kindle mobile or browser app, or export them to another app — they’re only visible on the Scribe .

Amazon also made some improvements to its built-in notebooks, offering a wider selection of templates than when the first Scribe launched.

Both are good e-readers for reading Kindle ebooks and casual note-taking, but they’re nearly indistinguishable. Photography by Sheena Vasani / The Verge.
