When Amazon informed me that it was announcing a new Kindle, the Kindle Scribe<\/span> wasn’t what I expected. But lo and behold, Amazon has released a large-format 10.2-inch E Ink e-reader that includes a stylus. One might say it is the spiritual successor to the defunct Kindle DX, which had a 9.7-inch screen. It’s available now for preorder for $340 with a standard stylus or $370 with a premium stylus and will “arrive before the holidays,” Amazon says.<\/p>\n

A handful of competing stylus-equipped touchscreen E Ink e-readers<\/span> that double as digital notepads are available from other companies, including Kobo and ReMarkable. But Amazon says the Kindle Scribe is the only front-lit 10.2-inch e-reader with a high-resolution 300 ppi (pixels per inch) E ink display.<\/p>\n

The device is only 5.8mm thin (0.22 inches) and weighs in at 433 grams. For comparison, the Kindle Paperwhite<\/span> weighs in at 205 grams and the new upgraded baseline Kindle (2022)<\/span> is 158 grams. The Kindle Scribe’s front-light scheme is composed of 35 LEDs. That compares with 25 LEDs for the Kindle Oasis, 17 LEDs for the Kindle Paperwhite and four LEDs for the 2022 entry-level Kindle.<\/p>\n
