"The newest Scribe comes with a pen that allows you to change your brush size and shape from a pen for margin scribbling to a highlighter if you'd rather emphasize certain parts of the text. The cool design element here is that the notes you draw with the pan exist on another "layer" than the book text, allowing you to edit what you write without messing with the text in the book."
"In practice, the active canvas appears as a blank space in between the text where you can jot down your thoughts. I can see this functionality being useful for certain texts, but it might be a bit distracting for others. I actually found that I preferred using the sticky notes function, which drops a tiny icon on the text that, when tapped, opens up a floating window with your notes that can then be closed."
Kindle Scribe functions as both an e-reader and a note-taking tablet, with the 32GB model currently priced the same as the 16GB. The device features a sleek, light form factor and a thick grip that supports comfortable left- or right-hand use and automatic orientation realignment. The Scribe provides access to Kindle's extensive e-book library. The Active Canvas enables notes and scribbles directly on pages while keeping pen marks on a separate, editable layer. The included pen lets users change brush size and shape and act as a highlighter, while sticky notes create tappable icons that open floating note windows. The pen delivers smooth, lag-free writing.
