A much improved Kindle for writing that fixes the biggest problems of the earlier model and adds useful handwriting AI.

One of the best handwriting experiences on an e-ink slate and a clear step up from the original.
Read Trusted Reviews review - 70Tom's Guide
The best Scribe yet, with a premium feel, great battery life and a pleasant stylus, but the price is steep and annotating books feels stiff.
Read Tom's Guide review - 60Expert Reviews
A comfortable note-taking e-reader, but barely changed from the first model, so the reviewer sees little reason to pay for the new one.
