The Kindle Scribe is an e-reader that works as a notebook and journal. Its interface lets readers highlight their books, take notes on the side and use the Scribe as a journal when using the included Premium Pen. Amazon updated the borders around this Kindle Scribe for a more uniform look. Response on the Premium Pen was also improved to create a more paper-like experience as you write on the Scribe. The anti-glare screen is 10.2 inches, 300 ppi and perfect for writing under various light conditions.
