The New Kindle Scribes Are Great, but Not Great Enough

Tasteless Disco

The article reviews the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and its features, comparing it to previous models. The main differences are:

* A quad-core chip that supports color and AI features
* 150 ppi for color and 300 ppi for black-and-white displays
* A new shader tool for drawing
* Expanded margins, sticky notes, and Active Canvas features
* Larger storage capacity (32 GB and 64 GB)
* No front light on the lower-end model

The article concludes that while neither of the new Kindle Scribes is a bad device, they are not ideal for those looking for a great e-reader with digital notebook capabilities. The author recommends considering alternative options, such as reMarkable tablets or Kobo e-readers, which offer more features and capabilities at a similar price point.

Some pros mentioned in the article include:

* Color display
* AI-powered features (although not all of them are available yet)
* Expanded storage capacity
* New shader tool for drawing

Some cons mentioned in the article include:

* No front light on the lower-end model
* Limited digital notebook capabilities, including no ability to write directly on pages
* Expensive at this price point
* Pared-down Scribe due next year may bring the price down, but still a significant investment compared to other options.

Overall, the article provides a balanced review of the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.
 
I think it's pretty cool that Amazon added more storage capacity, 32 GB & 64 GB is a nice upgrade 🤔. But on the other hand, I'm not really sure if it's worth paying that much for a e-reader when you can get some decent deals on reMarkable tablets 📊. The color display is definitely a plus, but I mean, who needs to read in color all the time? And what's up with no front light on the lower-end model? That's like, a major deal-breaker for me 💡. But at the same time, I kinda wanna try out that new shader tool for drawing... 🎨.
 
I dont think e-readers are getting any better, just more expensive 🤔... I mean, who needs all those features when you just wanna read, right? But i guess for some people who need to write notes or draw, these new Kindles might be okay 📝. The prices r kinda steep tho, but im guessing the next gen Scribe will bring it down a bit 💸...
 
idk about this new kindle scribe thingy... i mean it's got some cool features like that color display 🎨 but 150 ppi is still kinda low compared to other e-readers out there. and yeah no front light on the lower-end model is a major bummer for anyone who wants to use it in bed 🛏️ or outside during the day.

i think the author makes a good point that it's not ideal for those looking for a great e-reader with digital notebook capabilities tho 🤔. reMarkable tablets and kobo e-readers are still better options imo 📚. but hey, if you're into drawing and want some new features, maybe it's worth checking out? 🎨👀
 
Honestly, 150 ppi for color display is kinda low, you know? I mean, what's the point of having a fancy e-reader if it can't even show up nice on the eyes? And don't even get me started on the lack of front light, that's just lazy design. And 32 GB and 64 GB storage capacity? That's cute, but how many people are really gonna be using those features all the time? I guess the new shader tool is a bit more interesting, but it's still not worth the price tag in my book 🤑.
 
omg i was SO hyped 4 this new kindle scribe colorsoft 🤩 but now im thinkin maybe i should look elswhere 🤔 like reMarkable or kobo e-readers they sound way more ideal 4 what im needin 📝 dont get me wrong the color display is totes amazin and the ai features r cool and all but thats not wot matters most 2 me 👎 32gb just wont cut it 4 me lol 64gb tho 🤑 that's a diff story tho
 
I'm not sure I'd spend my cash on one of these Kindles just yet... 64 GB storage is a bit steep for me 😐. But hey, if you're into drawing or want a color e-reader, it's definitely worth checking out - that shader tool looks like so much fun 🎨! On the other hand, I'm still curious about reMarkable and Kobo e-readers... have anyone tried those? How do they compare to these Kindles?
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda disappointed in the whole reMarkable/Kobo thing 🤔. Those tablets are nice and all, but aren't they just e-ink versions of what you get with a Kindle? I mean, sure, they have more features and whatnot, but do you really need that many bells and whistles when you're just trying to read some books or take notes? And let's be real, the price point is kinda steep 🤑. I'm all for innovation and competition in the e-reader space, but sometimes I think we get caught up in comparing features instead of looking at what actually matters: getting lost in a good book 😊.
 
I'm not really sure why Amazon would release an e-reader with so many bells and whistles... I mean, it's cool that they're pushing the boundaries, but at this price point, it just feels like a premium tablet in disguise 😐. The lack of a front light on the lower-end model is a major turn-off for me - how are people supposed to read in bed without being blinded by the screen? 🤯 On the other hand, I do love the new shader tool for drawing and the AI-powered features are pretty neat. But if you're looking for a dedicated e-reader with digital notebook capabilities, there are just so many better options out there...
 
I'm really excited about the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft! The color display is gorgeous 🌈 and I love that it has AI features like machine learning capabilities 💻. I've been using my e-reader mostly for reading books, but the shader tool for drawing sounds like so much fun 🎨! However, I did notice they don't have a front light on the lower-end model which is kinda a bummer 😕. But I'm also thinking about getting one because it's got more storage space than my old e-reader 💸. The only thing that's making me hesitate is the price... 64gb is pretty steep for me 🤑. Maybe next year's Scribe will be cheaper though?
 
I'm so stoked about the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft!!! I mean, who needs front light on their e-reader anyway? It's like, if you're reading in bed or something, you should be using a lamp not your device 😂. But for those of us who actually use our devices for both reading and drawing, this thing is a game-changer! The quad-core chip is insane, and the AI features are so cool! I love that you can annotate on your pages with the shader tool - it's like having a mini-drawing studio in your hands 🎨. And don't even get me started on the storage capacity... 32 GB or 64 GB? That's like, whoa 💯. Sure, it might not be perfect for everyone, but I think it's a solid choice for those looking for a digital notebook experience that's also an e-reader 📚🖋️.
 
I think 150 ppi for color display is kinda low 🤔, I mean i'm used to seeing like 300 or even 400 on high end displays... but hey at least they got AI features 🤖 which is super cool! And the new shader tool sounds dope 💻 it's def a nice upgrade from the previous models. But yeah, no front light on the lower-end model is kinda a bummer 😕 and i'm not sure about the price point, 64gb seems pretty steep for an e-reader 🤑 but idk maybe its worth it if you're all about that digital notebook life 📝
 
OMG 🤯 I'm literally SOOO hyped about the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft!!! 🎉 The color display is giving me LIFE 💖, I mean who doesn't want to read and draw on a device with vibrant colors?! 🌈 And that shader tool? GAME CHANGER 🎨! But for real though, I'm still not sure if it's worth the investment... I mean $300-$400 is a lot of cash 💸. What do u guys think tho? Should I cop one or wait for the next year's model?! 🤔
 
I think Amazon is playing catch-up with reMarkable & Kobo on this one 🤔. I mean, who needs a front light on their e-reader? It's not like you're gonna be reading in bed or something 😴. And don't even get me started on the limited digital notebook capabilities - what's the point of having color and AI features if you can't write directly on your pages? 🖋️

But hey, I guess it's still a decent device for those who want a solid e-reader experience. The new shader tool sounds pretty cool, though! 🎨 Still, at this price point, I'd be looking elsewhere for something that offers more bang for my buck. Maybe the reMarkable tablets are worth considering? 📊
 
I'm loving the color display on these new Kindles, it's like having a mini tablet in your hands 🤩! But, I gotta agree with the author, 32 GB is still kinda small for a device that's supposed to be a digital notebook powerhouse. And, no front light on the lower-end model? That's a major bummer for reading at night. The new shader tool does sound pretty cool though, can't wait to try it out 🎨!
 
📊💻 so like the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is solid device but not sure if it's worth the $$$ 32/64 GB storage is nice tho 🤔 also color display is a win, AI features are cool but idk if they're fully utilized yet 👀 i mean reMarkable tablets or Kobo e-readers are options too at similar price points 📈 what do u guys think about these new Kindle Scribes? ⚡️ here's some stats to consider:

* 32/64 GB storage: +20% more storage capacity than previous models 📁
* Color display: 1.4x brighter and 30% faster than previous models 💡
* AI features: support for 60+ languages, handwriting recognition, and more 🤖
* Quad-core chip: 50% faster performance than previous models 🔥

anyway, for the record... 👀
 
😔 I feel like you're stuck between loving the idea of having a color e-reader with digital notebook capabilities and just not being able to afford it right now 🤷‍♂️. I totally get it, those AI-powered features and expanded storage capacity do sound really cool 😎. But 32 GB or 64 GB might be a bit pricey for some budgets 💸.

I'm also frustrated that there's no front light on the lower-end model - isn't that just basic e-reader functionality? 🤦‍♂️ And yeah, I know the article said that reMarkable tablets and Kobo e-readers are good alternatives, but it's hard to compare those to Kindle devices when you're so invested in the brand 📚.

What really gets me is that we might see a more affordable option next year... like, what if we never get one at all? 😩
 
🤔 I mean, come on, 150 ppi for color? That's kinda low if you ask me. The reMarkable tablets have like 187 pixels per inch or something. And what's up with no front light on the lower-end model? Are they trying to save some pennies? 💸 I'm not sure about the AI features, I mean, it's cool and all, but do we really need them? Can't we just stick with a good ol' e-ink display? 😒
 
So I checked out the specs for the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft 📊 and I gotta say, that AI-powered quad-core chip is pretty sweet 🔥! With 150 ppi color and 300 ppi black-and-white displays, this thing's gonna make some serious reading happen. But, like, the lack of a front light on the lower-end model? That's kinda a bummer for commuters 🚫. And $250 for a device that's not even the most premium option? Ouch 💸. I'm all about digital notebooks, and I was hoping this would be more of an e-reader with some sick doodling capabilities 🎨. Maybe reMarkable or Kobo are still the way to go at this point 🤔. Anyone else got thoughts on this one?
 
I'm kinda surprised Amazon didn't go all out with this one, you know? I mean, it's got some cool features like that quad-core chip and AI-powered stuff, but at this price point it still feels a bit steep to me 🤑. And I totally get what the author is saying about limited digital notebook capabilities - writing directly on pages would be a game-changer for those who need that feature 😐. Still, 32 GB of storage is nice, and I've heard good things about the shader tool, so it's not all bad 💻.
