The main difference here is the sheer size of said display. ![]() If you’ve used a recent Kindle, you pretty much already know what to expect from the Scribe’s display. Whether it’s the text of a book I’m reading, my various handwritten notes, or the buttons/words throughout the Kindle interface, everything on the Scribe is easily legible. Overall, it’s a quality e-ink panel that I’ve happily looked at for hours over the course of this review. Similar to other high-end Kindles, the Scribe touts automatic brightness adjustment for its 35 LEDs and has an adjustable warm light so you can tune the warmth/coolness of the screen to match the environment you’re in.ĭespite the much larger display size, the Kindle Scribe has the same sharp pixel density as all of Amazon’s other Kindles, plus the largest number of LED front lights (beating the 25 LEDs on the Kindle Oasis). It boasts a resolution of 300 pixels per inch and has a glare-free coating. Taking over the front of the Kindle Scribe is a 10.2-inch e-ink display. Kindle Scribe display Joe Maring/Digital Trends That’s not something I can say about a device like the 2022 iPad Pro, and it’s part of the reason why I find myself reaching for the Scribe every single day. No matter if I’m throwing it in my bag on my way to the coffee shop or jotting notes while lying on the couch at home, it’s so uncumbersome that I feel like I can comfortably use it anywhere. And with a weight of just 433g, it adds very little bulk to a bag or backpack.ĭevice thickness and weight isn’t the sexiest things to talk about, but they make a considerable difference with a device like the Kindle Scribe. Measuring a mere 5.8mm thick, the Scribe is 26% thinner than my iPhone 14 Pro Max. There’s nothing particularly mind-blowing about this design, but what did shock me is just how thin the Kindle Scribe is. The other three frames are totally empty, save for the magnets on the right frame where you magnetically attach the Basic or Premium Pen - more on those later. On the left frame are a power/lock button (which presses with a very pleasing click) and the USB-C charging port. It’s an incredibly subtle design touch, but it’s one that I’ve become greatly appreciative of throughout daily use. Those nubs do a couple of things: 1) Keep the back from being scratched when the Scribe’s lying on a table, and 2) hold the Scribe securely in place, so it’s not moving around when writing on it. The Kindle Scribe is so uncumbersome that I feel like I can comfortably use it anywhere. There’s not much to look at, save for the Amazon logo in the middle and four rubber nubs in each corner. The back is constructed out of aluminum and feels cool to the touch. It’s sleek, minimalistic, and is executed so incredibly well on every level. There’s nothing very flashy about the Kindle Scribe’s design.

It’s a seemingly simple addition that completely reimagines the Kindle experience. But in addition to reading, you can also use the Kindle Scribe for writing. ![]() Just like all other Kindles that have come before it, you can use the Scribe to read e-books and listen to audiobooks - all on a paper-like e-ink display.
