Amazon’s new Kindle Scribe takes another step toward pen and paper

Amazon’s biggest Kindle is as much for writing as it is for reading

With the new Scribe, which the company announced on Wednesday (and leaked on Tuesday night), Amazon is leaning into the notebook side of things in a big way. Amazon has also updated the included stylus, the texture and color mask of the 10.2-inch E Ink screen, and the Scribe’s internal software to make it feel more paper-y. “We want it to feel like a notebook in your hand.” Amazon continues to see the Kindle as a distraction-free device, free from all the chaos and enticements of your phone and laptop — now it’s trying to apply the same vibes to your writing as it has to your reading.
