Amazon Kindle Scribe 16GB includes Basic Pen

Read and write as naturally as you do on paper

With a 10.2" 300 ppi glare-free Paperwhite display, Kindle Scribe is perfect for reading and writing, even in direct sunlight. The large display gives you room to take notes and journal, and makes it easy to adjust font size and margin width for improved reading comfort. Writing on Kindle Scribe feels like writing on paper. From the natural grip of the pen in your hand, to the sound you hear when you write, Kindle Scribe's surface is crafted for the best possible reading and writing experience.

The power of the pen

Kindle Scribe includes either a Basic or Premium Pen. Both give you more ways to use your Kindle than ever before. The Premium Pen has a dedicated eraser and a shortcut button, which can be assigned to seamlessly switch between pen, highlighter, and more.

Add handwritten notes to your books

Create handwritten sticky notes in millions of eBooks from the Kindle Store without cluttering up the page. Simply tap where you want to insert a note on the page to quickly capture that handwritten thought for later. Sticky notes are automatically organised by book, into one place, so you can easily navigate, browse, and export all your in-book notes and highlights.

Streamline your life's notes

Kindle Scribe is also a notebook and a journal with included templates like lined paper, blank paper, to-do lists, and more. Stop searching through stacks of paper-keep notes organised in folders, and search for notebooks by title to quickly reference later. Get access to your notebooks through the Kindle app sync feature (available beginning 2023).

Make notes in your documents

Easily import and mark-up PDF files or insert sticky notes on Microsoft Word documents and other compatible formats. Send them to your Kindle Scribe through your desktop web browser or via the Kindle app using the "Share" button on your iOS or Android device. Coming early 2023, you will also be able to send documents to Kindle Scribe directly through Microsoft Word.

Read and write in any light

Adjustable warm light and auto-adjusting front light provide a comfortable, personalised reading and writing experience, day or night. And with USB-C charging and a battery life that lasts weeks, you can immerse yourself in your content without the worry of finding a power outlet.
