Like the original Scribe, the 2024 model is a 10.2-inch e-reader that comes with a stylus so you can write directly on the device. But this version introduces meaningful software upgrades that make the note-taking experience more intuitive, many of which are also available for the original Scribe. You can now directly annotate ebook pages and scribble notes in expandable margins, for example. Plus, if you’re connected to the internet, you can take advantage of new AI-based tools that let you summarize notes taken in the e-reader’s built-in notebook or clean up your handwriting with a single tap.
When it comes to hardware, the Scribe also continues to impress. The new model features slimmer bezels and a textured display that more closely mimics the feel of writing on paper (it’s also available in a beautiful green hue). Amazon also ditched the Basic Pen and opted for the Premium Pen as its default stylus, providing you with a built-in eraser and a customizable shortcut button. And, like its predecessor, the 2024 Scribe retains a 300ppi display with an adjustable warm light, making it just as easy to read at night as it is during the day.
