Verdict
Amazon Kindle Scribe 2024 gets positive early impressions, and a full review follows after a week of testing.

Verdict

The 2024 Amazon Kindle Scribe 64GB is a premium 10.2-inch E Ink digital notebook and e-reader featuring a 300 ppi glare-free Paperwhite display with auto-adjusting front light and a textured glass surface designed to mimic the feel of writing on paper. This updated model includes a redesigned Premium Pen with a dedicated eraser and customisable shortcut button, supporting advanced software features like Active Canvas for in-book annotations and AI-powered tools for summarising and refining handwritten notes. Its main pros include an exceptionally sharp display, a distraction-free interface, and an impressive battery life that lasts up to 12 weeks for reading or 3 weeks for writing. However, notable cons include a lack of waterproofing (no IP rating), relatively slow cloud-based processing for AI features, and a high price point compared to smaller Kindle models or color E Ink competitors.
