The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is a lot of fun, but it’s not a must-have
The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is a high-end e-reader that functions as a digital notebook, but its high price and large size limit its appeal. While it offers a great experience for researchers and note-takers, it lacks the portability of smaller Kindles.
Why it matters
This review helps consumers evaluate the value proposition of niche, expensive hardware in the evolving e-reader market.
After testing the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft for two months, I found that it was made for a very specific kind of note-taker and reader. While the device is pretty and lightweight, it’s not something the everyday person needs due to its hefty price tag and size.
However, for those who have been waiting for a color Kindle that doubles as a digital notebook, the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is worth considering.
The device starts at a steep $630 and is available in two colors: Black and Fig, a pretty purple shade. It weighs just 400 grams and features an 11-inch display that makes it similar in size to a traditional sheet of paper.
