Although this is pretty long, please read until the end for more helpful items i found to use with your SCRIBE or even other devices, ive mentioned extra protection and the perks of using 360 degree rotating magnetic charging cords and heads in ALL your devices! This review will go over regular tablets and 2 other brands of eink note taking devices. I touch on storage, pens, the paper templates, DRAWING…its a lot but def worth looking over. Might as well scroll down to the see more for my review and pull it all up now before you continue any further lol…i really hope this helps somebody on one of the things i mention.
Ok I’m going to hit a few topics that I’ve noticed nobody has really hit on yet, and its something I had tried to find out myself before I bought mine, and I couldn’t get that info so I just bought it! I should start by saying I currently have these other devices as well: 10in Samsung tablet, 10in IPad, fire tablet, almost every paperwhite, likebook ares eink tablet, onyx boox nova color eink tablet….and now the wonderful Kindle scribe! Now, let’s talk business.
I love to read, and the paperwhite has been my go to device all the time hands down for my reading…waterproof, lots of storage at 32 GB and great battery life! Reading comics however is a pain. To small, have to pinch and zoom….just to much hassle. It’s the same thing on my other two eink devices, there is still no glare on these other 2 (likebook and boox), you get the min storage but can add micro SD cards, and those are not waterproof and the batteries run down so quickly even when in airplane mode. Now let’s talk actual tablets (Samsung, Ipad, fire, etc)… obviously bigger screens, bright vivid colors. Have to install kindle app to read your books (except for on fire tablets), and now you can no longer purchase any new books on these devices unless you are using an actual Amazon brand device when buying them! Comics are much easier to read…and again in color. You won’t be able to read on your screens outside though, the sun will just bounce off device making it more useful for a mirror!! All of these devices will let you surf the web, shop, play games, listen to music or books, read…you name it. Books won’t eat up too much of your storage since it’s just words but comics sure will. And I don’t know about you all, but my batteries on these devices drain faster then say a paperwhite.
Here’s what I wanted to know-
Not only do I read a lot, but I’m an artist. I love to just be able to pull something out of my bag and draw if the mood hits. I noticed people only touched on the “note taking” abilities on the scribe…but I wanted to know MORE!! I wanted to see the pen line thickness for each option, see if when you did the highlighter over the pen if the black would fade, what other pens could be used on it, if we could install more paper options for free directly into notebook paper options!!
