Media Reviews

WIRED7/10

Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe (3rd Gen) Review (2025) | WIRED

The reviewer finds the new Kindle Scribe models to be good devices overall, featuring a smooth writing feel and great battery life, but concludes they are not a must-buy upgrade if one already owns the second-generation model. The review notes that the device remains limited by an inability to write directly on ebooks and suggests that competitors like reMarkable offer better value for the price.

Kindle Scribe (2025) review: An almost perfect e-reader and note-taker | Tom's Guide

The Kindle Scribe (2025) is described as a phenomenal e-reader that serves as an excellent, albeit expensive, upgrade due to its larger display and lightweight design. While the reviewer praises the reading experience and note-taking responsiveness, they criticize the clunky, unintuitive process for annotating text.

Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Review: After a month, I am not won over

The reviewer is not won over by the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, arguing that despite its refined hardware and useful color display, the device's high price point makes it difficult to recommend. They cite limitations in the writing experience, software, and a reliance on AI gimmicks as reasons why it falls short of being the best e-ink tablet or Kindle.

The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft surprised me

The reviewer finds the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft nearly perfect, praising its fluidity, color-coding capabilities for annotators, and responsiveness. While they note that the price is high for a single-use device, they consider it one of Amazon's best Kindles to date and recommend it for anyone wanting a colorful E Ink tablet.
