Amazon 's Kindle Scribe entered a saturated digital notebook market in 2022 , competing with the likes of Kobo, ReMarkable , and Boox .

It's a great digital notebook for anyone who likes jotting stuff down on paper, and since it pulls double duty as an e-reader, you don't have to carry another Kindle .

Unfortunately, the price has jumped to $ 400 , a $ 60 bump.

The Scribe supports various file types including PDF , DOC , DOCX, TXT , RTF , HTM , HTML , and more (Word documents included) While you could mark up PDFs with the original Scribe , you can now use the new Active Canvas feature to mark up Word docs and other reflowable documents (like ebooks and HTML) Like most tech products in 2024 , the new Scribe includes a few generative AI features.
