Paper over: Amazon unveils new Kindle aimed at replacing paper for writing


Amazon announced the Kindle Scribe on Wednesday, which the company says could replace paper for reading and writing.

The device features a 10.2-inch e-ink display, which the company says is “glare-free,” and it comes with a pen that does not need to be charged.

Kevin Keith, vice president of Amazon Devices, touted the reading and writing experience on the device, along with the e-reader’s other features.

“Kindle Scribe is the best Kindle we’ve ever built, creating a reading and writing experience that feels like real paper,” Keith said in a press release. “It’s inspired by the Kindle customers who have added billions of notes and highlights to books over the years, and it’s also ideal for reviewing and marking up documents, managing your to-do list, or doodling over a big idea. Plus, it offers all the Kindle benefits customers know and love — millions of books on demand, adjustable fonts, premium reading features, and weeks and weeks of battery life — with the benefit of a beautiful, large display.”


Amazon says all notebooks from the device will be “automatically saved and backed up to the cloud for free.” The company also says two pens are available for the device, one being a “basic” pen that does not need to be charged. A “premium” pen, which includes a shortcut button and an eraser, does have a battery.
