I took the plunge and bought a Kindle Scribe as it was on sale. It's my first Kindle though I used the Kindle app on my Boox Nova Pro. I chose the Scribe because of the price and hardware and I did not want the camera on the Boox Tab Ultra (the contender).
Hardware wise, it's really great. Software wise, it's half baked but no surprise as I had read the reviews.
What surprises me the most is the absence of some kind of file explorer. I use Collections to group books and documents but it's not perfect.
I use Calibre to export books on the Scribe. The covers appear on Calibre but only for epub on Kindle. I have a generic cover for pdf books and articles. Very strange as the covers are fine on Calibre. If I could display the covers and have subcollections, it would be great.
Is there a way to switch easily between a book and a notebook? Boox has the nav ball but on the Scribe I have to close the book and go to notes to open the notebook. A back button would have been handy.
The good surprise is that an Italian dictionary is present for Italian books. It's not on the general settings where I could select only 2 dictionaries. Very useful as I had to switch to an Italian dictionary app on my Nova Pro.
