Electronic book reader and notebook wiht pen: Amazon‘s Kindle Scribe is now in its second generation and we have been able to try it for a few hours now. At first glance the new Scribe resembles the old one. The energy-saving E-Ink display with backlight extends over 10.2 inches diagonally, on the right there is a very wide border, which is now somewhat hidden by a passe-partout;
The included pen dock is on the left. as usual,the display is first class,sharp and ideal for long evenings of reading. The device weighs 430 grams,is easy to hold and the battery lasts several weeks.With E-Ink technology, energy is only consumed when the display changes.
Study textbooks
Amazon books reach the device via WiFi or alternatively you can upload PDF documents or books in open Epub format. The big change compared to its predecessor concerns less passive readers, but rather active editors of texts, such as students leafing through thier textbooks.
In addition to Amazon Kindle books,you can create your own notebooks where you write directly on the screen with the pen. Writing is like writing on paper. The first impression is that this has now been implemented a little better.
The pen is included
In the future, artificial intelligence will summarize the notes. There is already handwriting recognition that is activated when you send a notebook via email. The detection then takes place on Amazon’s servers.
The second generation Kindle Scribe is available with 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of storage space at prices between 420 and 470 euros. The pen is included in the delivery. A detailed account of our experiences will appear in the December 17 print edition of FAZ.

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Tech Expert on Amazon’s Kindle Scribe
Time.news Editor: Welcome to this special segment where we dive into the latest innovations in technology. Today, we have a seasoned tech expert, Dr. Lisa Thompson, with us to discuss the new second-generation amazon Kindle Scribe. Dr.Thompson, thank you for joining us!
Dr. Lisa Thompson: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss the Kindle Scribe and what it brings to the table.
Editor: Absolutely! So, we’ve had the chance to get our hands on the Kindle Scribe. What were your initial thoughts when you first tried it out?
Dr. Thompson: My first impression was quite positive! Amazon has made several enhancements that highlight its versatility as both an e-reader and a digital notebook. The display is vibrant and sharp, making reading a pleasurable experience.
Editor: That’s great to here! For those unfamiliar, how does the Kindle Scribe differentiate itself from other Kindle models?
Dr.Thompson: The Kindle Scribe combines traditional e-reading features with the capability for handwritten notes, thanks to its accompanying stylus. Users can annotate texts, create to-do lists, and even sketch, all while enjoying the benefits of e-ink technology, which is easier on the eyes than traditional screens.
Editor: Captivating! You mentioned the stylus. How effective is it in practice?
Dr. Thompson: The stylus is responsive and offers a natural writing experience. It feels quite similar to writing on paper, which is a significant advantage for those who prefer jotting down notes or comments directly on their reading material. There are different writing modes and options that cater to various user preferences.
Editor: That’s a game-changer for many students and professionals! Speaking of user experience, how does the Kindle Scribe’s battery life hold up compared to its competitors?
dr. Thompson: The battery life is impressive, typical of Kindle devices. With moderate use of both reading and writing features, it can last several weeks on a single charge, which is a major plus for on-the-go users who don’t want to constantly worry about recharging.
Editor: Excellent! Now, every new device has its pros and cons. Did you encounter any areas where the Kindle Scribe could improve?
Dr. Thompson: One area to consider is the weight.While it’s still portable, it is slightly heavier than traditional Kindle devices, especially with the additional bulk of the stylus. Users who are used to lighter e-readers might feel the difference during prolonged reading sessions. Additionally, more association features for notes would be helpful for those who take extensive annotations.
Editor: Valid points! As we wrap up, who do you think would benefit most from the Kindle Scribe?
Dr. Thompson: The Kindle Scribe is perfect for students,educators,and professionals who engage heavily in reading and note-taking. It’s also beneficial for hobbyists who enjoy journaling or sketching. Essentially, anyone looking for a seamless blend of reading and writing will find value in it.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights! It truly seems the Kindle Scribe makes a strong case as a versatile tool in the e-reader market. We appreciate your expertise!
