Love to read on this book sized screen.
It is a good edition to your Kindle collection on amazon.com. Plays the same books; you only pay one time for each amazon.com e-book. You can export word documents from Office/Word to the scribe, but I haven't learned how to do that yet. You can put notes in the e-books, handwritten or typed on a little keyboard that comes up on the screen, anywhere you want, and review them in one place by selecting the notes icon in the main toolbar you get by tapping on the top of the screen in the middle. The scribe pen does some other magic things.

Quick delivery on great product
Purchased as a gift bthe recipient was extatic with the size readability and the no adds feature as you get on other platforms. One issue which was quickly resolved is the pen didn't work but customer SVC walked him through on how to fix (changing out the tip to another one provided in the pen box). Other than that no issues.

Great for reading and writing
I ordered the Certified Refurb unit expecting it to be in less than perfect condition. I was surprised when it arrived and was in fact in "new" condition - not a mark on it. I love this device! I do a lot of Alpha, Beta, and ARC reading for authors and the Scribe allows me to highlight, write suggestions, etc right on the manuscripts that they send to me. I am also able to create notebooks to track those markups as well as tracking the titles and reviews I have completed - all one device. In some instances all I need to do is send the author my notes file directly from the device. The scribe is a joy to use and is perfect for my needs.

Loveee thisssssss
The Kindle’s minimalist design and feather-light weight make it a joy to use for hours without fatigue. The texture of the device is smooth, with a matte finish that resists fingerprints. Functionality is excellent, with crisp, glare-free text and a user-friendly interface. Likes: The long battery life and vast library access are huge benefits. Being a refurbished product, it feels and works like new. Dislike: it does lag and or freeze, very rare but it has. Who Would Like This: Book lovers, commuters, and anyone transitioning from physical books to e-readers.

Frustratingly slow response
Infuriating for me to try using compared to an iPad. The resolution doesn’t seem any better than my iPad. Suggest you compare to a used iPad or iPad mini. See for yourself — I may be all wet. I thought it a poor value.
