It crossed my mind that Amazon may be attempting to add yet another branch to the Kindle product family that deviates from the focus of reading — such is the case with the Fire, which is mostly geared towards video entertainment and being an affordable iPad competitor. But the Scribe still keeps readers entirely in mind … almost. I really would like to have had some tactical navigation buttons for page-turning, so I can toggle between swiping and button-pressing to turn a page depending on how I am situated (read: when my hand not holding the Kindle is preoccupied with holding a coffee mug or petting a cat).
It goes without saying that the Scribe can access the tens of millions of books on the Amazon Kindle library, plus reader services like Kindle Unlimited. Otherwise, there’s not much to complain about here — although I had hoped, probably outlandishly, that a few lasting Kindle grievances would be addressed in the Scribe. Unfortunately, the Kindle product line continues to leave all Audiobook lovers behind with the absence of built-in speakers, too. Readers may also be chagrined to find that the Scribe is not waterproof rated, (even though the Paperwhite and the Oasis are).
If you’re looking for a rugged tablet, this probably isn’t your best bet. Currently, the only folio case offered for the tablet keeps the Scribe secured via a magnetic connection — making it susceptible to falling out if jostled enough. The Scribe also might be too big for some readers’ preferences, but don’t think the bigger dimensions come with a heavier, bulkier product. The Scribe may not be as toss-in-your-bag friendly as other Kindle models, but I never felt like I was trying to hold up a brick.
