First Impressions:
The screen is the best eink panel that I have ever used - by far.
It’s not too unwieldy.
300 dpi makes a big difference with PDFs that have small text, and navigating / zooming PDFs is nice and quick. Shame there is no option to save your zoom level between pages though.
Writing latency is good. Seems on par with my Remarkable.
Pen latency is limited, if present at all.
Syncing needs major work. You can’t write on a PDF unless it’s sent through the kindle app, and there is a hard limit of 50MB for transfers. A lot of my magazines are larger than this, so I have to side load and not have annotation features. Also, if I markup a pdf on the Scribe the changes aren’t visible on other devices. This is daft, and not at all how I would expect it to work.
Note taking tools are rudimentary, but sufficient for what it’s designed for. This isn’t a replacement for dedicated eNote devices (at least not yet).
I like how the sticky notes work, and would like to see this replicated on other devices. I know some people like to write in the margins but this works better for me.
Other WACOM pens work without issue, and those with buttons will probably replicate the utility of the premium pen. I haven’t taken the Amazon stylus out of the box.
To be honest, I think that Kindle OS is due a major overhaul - but this device is exactly what I expected and I’m happy with it.
