Read and write as naturally
as you do on paper
With a 10.2” 300 ppi glare-free Paperwhite display, Kindle Scribe is perfect for reading and writing, even in direct sunlight. The large display gives you room to take notes and journal, and makes it easy to adjust font size and margin width for improved reading comfort. Writing on Kindle Scribe feels like writing on paper. From the natural grip of the pen in your hand, to the sound you hear when you write, Kindle Scribe’s surface is crafted for the best possible reading and writing experience.
The power of the pen
Kindle Scribe includes either a Basic or Premium Pen. Both give you more ways to use your Kindle than ever before. The Premium Pen has a dedicated eraser and a shortcut button, which can be assigned to seamlessly switch between pen, highlighter, and more.

Add handwritten notes
to your books
Create handwritten sticky notes in millions of eBooks from the Kindle Store without cluttering up the page. Simply tap where you want to insert a note on the page to quickly capture that handwritten thought for later. Sticky notes are automatically organized by book, into one place, so you can easily navigate, browse, and export all your in-book notes and highlights.
Streamline your
life’s notes
Kindle Scribe is also a notebook and a journal with included templates like lined paper, blank paper, to-do lists, and more. Stop searching through stacks of paper—keep notebooks organized in folders and subfolders, and search for notebooks by title to quickly reference later. Get access to your notebooks through the Kindle app sync feature.
More brush types
for more ways to write
A pen and a highlighter are always handy but sometimes you need more options. Try the new fountain pen for beautiful calligraphy, switch to marker to emphasize your notes, or use the new pencil for light sketching. All writing tools now feature enhanced pressure and tilt capabilities.
Make notes in
your documents
Securely import files to your Kindle Scribe through Send to Kindle or with the “Share” button of the Kindle app for iOS and Android). Files imported through Send to Kindle are encrypted during transport and, while stored, are secure in Amazon's data centers, which are designed to meet the requirements most stringent security in the world. Mark up imported PDFs with the original design or insert sticky notes into documents imported from Microsoft Word and other compatible file formats to send to Kindle. In early 2023, you'll also be able to send documents to your Kindle Scribe directly through Microsoft Word.
Read and write
in any light
Adjustable warm light and auto-adjusting front light provide a comfortable, personalized reading and writing experience, day or night. And with USB-C charging and a battery life that lasts months for reading and weeks for writing, you can immerse yourself in your content without the worry of finding a power outlet.
